[Ronin 09]

big call that RacePace built a shit motor...

hmmm

[Rolls]

You spoken to the people who built it?

[Edd-GTR]

Sounds like someone got the clearances for your bearings wrong. This is something I would not expect to see come out of the Racepace workshop...

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

[STATUS]

if you need a good machinist etc let me know.

[femno]

When an engine fails theres a heap of factors involved. You cant just say its a shit build...

also its not fair to name names when anything couldve happened...

[ali-turko]

look im not going to turn this into a augment whats done is done

[ali-turko]

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

[Swiper the Fox]

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

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.
