Was good to finally see this thing in action :thumbsup: had followed it from the NEO days, was gunna come say hi but like i said you looked like you were pretty busy so i didnt interrupt :)

I'll make sure I do next time mate :) was awesome to finally see the beast anyhow!!! Your vid of the car back with the NEO and 38mm gate was serious inspiration lol..... Finally got tuned and can't keep the thing on the road, suspension shit itself, brakes shit em selves, clutch just shat itself lol.... Awesome so far lol

The stock nissan bottom end doesn't have any inherent weaknesses at the power levels most people run, it has the nissan seal of approval unlike many aftermarket rebuilds that grenade 5000kms later and it is also extremely cheap.

Imo almost all motors that do grenade are due to oiling issues be that starvation killing the bottom end, assembly issue (wrong clearances etc), limiter bashing unbalancing things or a tuning issue causing detonation via one of many ways killing the bearings and pistons.

So knowing this I don't know why everyone doesn't just go a stock untouched (unmolested) rb30 bottom end, chances are you will kill it from one of the reasons above well well before you destroy it due to high revs destroying the rod bolts/rods or destroy the pistons/bearings from just simply too much torque.

While I agree with you on the most part, keep in mind this is a drift car...

been going alright so far.. oil control has been settled for now with the use of an Accusump which works well... should have got one a long time ago.

stock NA RB30 bottom end has been proven to be reliable up until around the 600 hp mark.. fairly impressive really! obviously limiter bashing and drifting puts more strain then most of motors so we'll see how it goes.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
