I HAVE RECENTLY GOT A RB26 R33 GTST. 5 MIN AFTER PICKING IT UP IT SPUN BIG END BEARING. MOTOR HAS BEEN STRIPED DOWN AND THERE IS METAL EVERYWHERE. I HAVE TAX INVOICES FOR 2 REBUILDS PRIOR TO THIS ONE IN THE LAST 2.5 YEARS BOTH CAUSED BY SPUN BOTTOM END. THE CAR HAD ARIAS FORGED PISTONS BILLET RODS ACL RACE TYPE BEARINGS ARP HEAD STUDS, PMC SUMP BAFFLE N1 OIL AND WATER PUMP R32 N1 TURBOS RUNNING AT 15PSI REMAPS ECU STANDARD INJECTORS AND CAMS. JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING TO LOOK OUT FOR TO PREVENT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN OR A COMMON PROBLEM LOTS OF MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT AND SAME PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

I would say get another engine builder.

my VG30DETT RACE motor, which pumps out 366RWKW, has been running for over 2 years now, over 20 race meets, some 400 race laps, where every gear change is at 7000rpm. so someone is ballsing up big time with your motor.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
