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.

    • Wiring the car up today so will report back for anyone else that searches this in future.
    • The light comes on from low oil pressure. Not temp. Did you do a rebuild or just add an ecu etc?  What oil are you using and where are you getting the pressure reading from
    • So like the title says my 97 rs4v has a oil temp sensor but no triple gauges as it was originally factory navigation. My current setup is not using the factory oil pressure sensor as I'm running a link ecu and a real sensor.  I did leave the oil temp sensor in. So now as I was working on first start up and bleeding coolant I get the oil light on the dash faintly as the oil temp gets to about 60-70c. Oil pressure is 45psi at idle at the same time.  I'm wondering if the temp sender doing this?  
    • Well it runs again!  This was a definite case of while I have it apart lol Everything except the body and interior has been restored, refinished, or replaced.  @socal_stagea is my IG if you're bored and want to see all the pics.
    • I already got plug and play Link ecu G4X. Main concern is that the de loom works on s1 motor or not? I already rewired injector and coils loom to suit my bosch injectors and bosch vag coil. I’m not running any Iacv. For cas running the nz wiring kit i bought the neo plug one so it suits the wiring but don’t know it works or it doesn’t matter they work the same on every motor. For wastegate solenoid do i need to wire straight from ecu? What can i do for iat sensor to work or same run from ecu? For Vct solenoid, right now i got s1 vct solenoid on motor so do i need to remove neo connector and add s1 connector to work? Any other thing i missed i need to do to make the motor working on de loom. Any different mechanism on neo vs s1?
