that exactly what was wrong, clearance for the bearing were wrong anyway in not going to start a dispute with a racepace or anyone

i bought the car off a sau member with the built motor, and my gf rode it of 2 weeks later no damage to the front what so ever,

put the motor in my 32 all bout 20mins running in the car its seized, i dont really care bout it anymore cause my motor is in the process of getting built now

just to make a clear not i didnt say race pace were shit engine builders, i said it was a shit build i have nothing agaist them, them may have done something wrong them have not, but i was told clearance for the bearings werent correct

your more than welcome to have us look after it for you ali...

doubt Ben would have been responsible for what has occurred.

I hold him and his business (RacePace) in the highest regard.

I'd like to make a few things clear here.

Racepace did build this engine. In 2005.

We did not install it and we haven't seen it since 2005.

It is now onto its 3rd owner who stated it was running perfectly when he purchased the R33GTR that was subsequently written off in an accident.

Later it gets installed into a 32GTR and seizes after 20mins.

Now I'm not pointing fingers at all, but doesn't this sound just a little strange??

We absolutely stand by/warrant our workmanship but it is made extremely hard when you have no control over what happens to your engines years after they are put into service.

We have built hundreds of RB's that see all sorts of use/abuse, so I'm very sorry to hear of this engines demise.

Hope it all works out for you Ali.

cheers,

Ben

thx ben im not holding you responsible at all or else i would have called to sort something out,

and i understand its been 3 year since the rebuil so i wouldnt expect you to do anything about it,

thx mate

So why say it was a shit house build then exactly you moron?

Sounds like a case of extreme back pedalling.

Dont PM me about your warning, its clear what its for.

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
