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.

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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
