Hey,

i have a r32 gtr with a r33 rb26 thats fully worked that was rebuilt no more then 20 thousand ks ago.

i was driving it home 2 days ago and just as i drove in my drive way it started making a ticking/knocking noise.

does this sound like a spun bearing??

if so what could have caused this so soon after a rebuild? i got it compression tested 2 weeks ago and came back perfect then this happens??

my race bred sounds like a tractor...

So.....who built it? What is done to it? Possibilities of failure are semi endless, incorrect assembly, incorrect clearances, losing oil pressure etc. Need to pull it down to have a look.

when u take the engine out, take off the head and throw the entire bottom end straight into the tip because pretty much none of it will be salvagable with that load a knocking

Sounds horribly like a spun bearing alright. Had one myself not long ago. I'm happy to come and have a listen close up just to confirm it if you like, I'm in coorparoo, but don't drive the thing over. Don't drive it at all. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to come and have a look.

Did you follow the run in procedure set by the mechanic?

Run in?

meh, bed it on the dyno, tune it up. If its put together right thats all it should need

Either way, its beyond dead. crank and everything no doubt to the recycling mill :P

and ye, endless possibilities as to what could have killed it. The list is long

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
