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.

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
