f*kin hell.....

Had the car for 3 hrs - driving along in 2nd, accelarating, doing about 70ks - All of a sudden BANG. The rear lock up - blue smoke everhwere from the 300 semi slicks skidding from the lockup.

Can won't move - Engine OK - Can put in first, but it aint going anywhere.

I think the crown wheel in the diff shat itself and has locked into the spider pinion gears - rendering the locker diff really locked.

Had to leave car where it is and walk home in bare feet on the road - for 6kms - Forgot my mobile,

f*k it - I was just going round the (big) block to get some milk.

Back to the workshop.......

f*k it f*k it - 14 months in the workshop and it lasted 3 hours - not happy jan !

Car is at workshop now - We think it's the diff but need to pull it apart to tell. I hope it's the crownwheel - so I just get another one and away we go -

But my feeling is that it is more than that is the whole axle is sitting about 2" to the left of centre - may have broken some suspension in the fierce lockup.

Apart from that little incident - the think pulls like a $50 whore from 5000 rpm to 6500 rpm. In other words - the turbo is too big - Looking at options for this now....

Went thru twin charge option with mechanic - that was my preference - I nearly bought an SC14 ($350) for it. But my guy says turbo is too small for this and the boost/revs overlap wouldn't be worth it.

Re smaller rear - being a KKK turbo - they are uncommon - spoke to Brett at CGC and they need to see the rub to match it - this would be best option. WE may be lucky that something may fit - FOund out rear AR is 1.15 - far out - if I had known that before..... oh well picked the KKK up for a song.

NOS - GREAT - but I wanna use it on the street.....as well.

GT3071 would be ideal but no $$ left ($1600)

Thought of getting new cams - but new turb would be similar $$

Also thought of overboring to a 2.4L

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
