i phone doesnt do close ups lol.

crank is ok ish... number 2 is the only bearing thats damaged.. number one shows significant wear also. measured it up and number 2 on the crank is only ever so slightly under the minimum tolerance. soooo.. gonna get it reground 10tho undersize and go with the larger acl Race bearings, new mains, new oil pump and then re assy.

pistons, rods, rings, bores all look like they just rolled out of nissan. not sure if i should bother with going forgies. no det marks, no nothing on the pistons.

If you can pull it all out yourself then I would save the $1k for forgies, almost all dead motors are oil problems. Go baffled sump, oil pump, bearings, crank collar (or is this fixed with neo motors?)

If you kill it via pistons then it is almost certainly det related which means tuning and you said this is sweet.

sre they 86.5's? come with rings and pins?

if so how much again?

Click the link in my signature.... comes with everything, new in the box for $1250 yes they are 86.5mm.

Got a crank aswell but doesn't look like you need it.

rods are fatter.

with the piston the crown is hollowed out with two large holes allowing oil to be squired up into them, the rods have a tiny oil hole facing the crown, along with the piston bore squirter. the ring lands are fatter on the neo's and as for weight the neo piston and rod even tho it has more material is slightly lighter then non neo.

Good to see a direct comparison and the photos are great, i am hoping i don't have to see the insides of my engine for quite a while yet :thumbsup:

Since you've done so much damage, why don't you just get another neo from a wrecker and go again. It only died because your oil was on the track. I think a neo with a good sump will last for ages. 90% of rb's die from oil starvation of some description, or a bad tune. Don't see too many die from being pushed too far

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
