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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
