not sure what bearing....

But they said the head would need a recon or freshen up etc just by the sound of it, if that makes sense...

and also said even if the crank can be saved it would be over $500 to have it tidied up etc

The head might need to be decked and cleaned out but thats all unknown until it gets pulled out..Not major they just shave the bottom of it where it sits on the block for the head gasket..

Is this your first rebuild?

If you're mate is a mechanic I would get him to pull the engine out and open it up and see how bad it is..Go into the build threads here on SAU in the motorsport section and forced induction.

You have to look at it before you do anything...how loud was the knock?? how long has it been knocking?

Easy as pie. Fill in the forms with new engine number, they then check that the engine didn't come from a stolen car and that's it. Mind you the last time I did it was around 6 years ago and they reprinted my rego papers to reflect new engine #

simple logic really.

you have a engine in your car that most likely has spun a bearing.

can you drive the car? No! so pull the engine out.

why trailer the car everywhere and get people to listern to it? thats a waste of time and money.

surely you can hear the noise yourself and know that it neads to come out and be stripped down.

and you have a mechanic mate thats prepared to help you,

so why is the engine still in the car?

its a 3 hr job to remove the engine, put it on a engine stand and pull the sump off.

you will then know what has happened and the cost of what needs fixing.

if everything is rooted then strip the good parts and get a stocker and bolt it back in.

if damage is minimal then take the crank to chris miltons get them to machine it new bearings and go again.

either way the engine has to come out. so thats allways the first thing to do.

Exactly what I said..But it is scary for the people that are used to this sort of work :)

Also why does everyone think a GTR rebuild is $10K?? That with expensive parts and for high power...

Nope. It's a common misconception. People hear 10k, then tell the next person, etc.

5k will get you a full rebuild with standard parts. 10k is something that will handle 300-400kw+

6-7k is a forged build with oil mods which will handle very decent power.

Unless you're thinking... Jun stroker kit or something... which is like $15k+ all up

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
