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

i would but i cant find any around for a reasonable price... im not paying 2.5-3K for just a motor like some wreckers want,

mercuary motorsport proved you can push 700 hp from a stock neo and then subject it to drag racing for a while with their VC commo they built for a customer.. i dare say the rods and pistions are strong things!

i shall start a slow build of another block i have on the side... will get it ready for next year

Yeah the things that kill RBs are almost always oil related, fix that and you'll have a very reliable motor, nissan knew how to build them better than a lot of builders out there. I'd trust some guy that built 20 motor a day for years over some muppet that takes your $10k of parts and gets the clearances wrong.

i would have found a way to make it work lol.

well good news anyway i got my new crank tested, fitted with crank collar, ACL race mains and big end bearings supplied, and maching of crank for 400... not a bad price! just need to re-assy. check tolerances and then put it back together

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
