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.

    • Hopefully not shockproof. It does crappy things to good synchros.
    • Mark, please add to your shopping list a cask of wine.       For when the Hills Hoist is installed...
    • Cheers for the tips, I'll go with 50 mm around the side, I'm used to digging with hand tools, my prior occupation had me going well with hand tools and there's nothing that a breaker bar and a pair of gloves to protect my delicate hands can't fix, hopefully...  As my time now is free, if it takes a week to excavate that's not a issue
    • That's a pretty big job card assuming you're not planning on any machinery. I hope your dirt/rock ratio is not like ours, hand digging up here is very hard work I use the Mitre 10 in Sloane St or Gehl's Nursery where I can rather than Bunnings, but for bulk material everything (Goulburn Sand and Soil, Rocky Hill Sand and Soil) and is owned by Divalls (as is about 80% of town) so no point shopping around. Let me know if you need to borrow a ute or box trailer. BTW we also went with 7mm blue metal around the house, mostly for fire but also termites. You really need compacted road base under it then no more than about 50mm of rocks because otherwise they shift too much under foot. We also put corten edging to stop it spreading outside its area over time.
