Hi all you guys

why rb26dett damage crankshaft ? when it powers littel

like big single and more fuel?

i have too many people says that it breaks its crankshaft so that

its not durable for daily use

one of my friends changed the engine 3 times and naw he swaps

to 2jz-gte because it handel 700hp with stock internals

an RB26 is just a motor- if it has been poorly serviced during it's life (and that could be a loooong life if ur talking about a 32), it will do a bottom end bearing as easily as any engine where the owner didn't give a shit about changing the oil regularly. even standard

big turb, more fuel?: yes- due to lower efficiency at low revs (where most street engines spend most of their time), and usually combined with lowered comp ratios on rebuilt engines AND bigger injectors (which give much poorer fuel atomisation); which automatically means worse economy.

People forget how advanced this motor was for its time.......

They also forget how advanced a GTR was for its time.....

Not many people do the right thing when it comes to maintenance...even changing oil.

Not many tuners will advice that they should maybe think of rebuilding the motors....

Not many who blow there motors have a rev limiter or correctly functioning parts ..ie fuel pump...oil pump

and sometimes water pump.

So...the answer to your question...

Poor maintenance..poor set up..(on a 15 year old engine)..without much knowledge on the engines condition

and its previous use can cause lots of engine failures.

You say your friend has done 3 motors....

How does he drive?

How high does he rev the motor?

Has the car got a after market computer?

How often does he change the oil?

Please outline yourself before saying these sort of things.

I know of one such case......

Every time a second hand motor was ordered.

The HKS cams came off the old motor

The Turbo's N1 Group A were taken off the old motor.

Then put back with a stock computer.

Hi revs..with Cams that only work on a after market computer caused all failures.

There was no rev limiter inplace...so regularly it would rev to 9K

I have a GTR33 96....the first things I did was to change oil pump..,water pump, fuel pump and timing belt.

I never revved it high until I had a Powerfc..tune and correct boost controller inplace.

High revs without quick engine oil changes(filling to 1 litre over mark) can damage cranks.

Especially stock cranks.

People forget how advanced this motor was for its time.......

the only advanced thing about RB26's in 1989 was the ignition system (optical crank-angle sensors, sequential injectors, and coil-on-plug ignition was well ahead of a lot of cars in the late 80's). but the Z32 300ZX copped just as good anyway, as well as other Nissan engines

the engine design/mechanicals, and non-sequential turbo set-up, on the other hand, was very much straight down the line

okay- i'll pay the ceramic 'turbs (even though they are only good for standard, non-race cars), but exotics had multi-throttle set-ups long before that: 6 dual down-draught carbies on Ferrari or Lambo V12s, anyone?

dear 700hp-gtr33 thank you so much for what you sayd

and really i think thats the damage came frome his carles

espiceally on oil change but the bworest thing that he was

using after market ecu and rev high with standard motor and oil pumps

i really thank you cause i am going to get one rb26dett engine

i love it too much but the people here make me worry but am

verry carre man i take car of any thing in my cars

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
