old oil stank of petrol and had about a litre too much in, bear in mind i run twin pumps and 1000cc sards. wont take long at 8.0.1 afr to do that.was changed after afr set and prior to dyno run,car was never driven with the contaminated oil in the motor

sounds very bad to me.....fuel is a rubbish lubriant, almost as bad as coolant :D

but assuming you changed it, most of it was removed (no oil cooler?), and the problem was fixed that may not be it.....you don't have the oil that just came out of it?

right guys a further development. looks like we have looking in the wrong place. i now suspect something has gone through the engine.from where i am not sure. below are pictures of the head on number 5 the one that spun and number 5 piston crown,, i was running a 1mm headgasket. question is whatever caused these marks would it be enoug on a 1mm gasket to jam the piston enough to cause the crank to hit the bearing momentarily?.

i have stripped the turbo, nothing wrong there?. had a look in the exhaust there is some very small shiny magnetic fragments?. any idea where something that could do this had got in from..

The indentations look a lot like spark plug electrode mate.

I once left mine at a "reputable" tuner for dyno-ing after a forged rebuild and was not happy with the results, (less power everywhere with higher specs) and after lots of head scratching I pulled it out and found the pricks had melted plugs in it (dash 8's) and simply put new ones in it and gave it back to me.

yeah +1 for detonation.

would also explain why the bearing has gone on no5 too.

You would think it would be across the board but and evident in all cylinders. I suppose if no5 injector had issues there's a possibility.

What do the other cylinders looke like?

odd thought... but had you used a die grinder on or near your intercooler piping or anything that would have been open on the intake setup weather it be plenum, TB, ic piping, comp housing, intake pipe....

that pitting either looks like the result of ceramic bits off a sparkplug or metal filings from something not being cleaned properly after working on it..

hi Cartman, no mate if i ever do anything like that the cars is not in the garage, you can see some die grinding work on the head in the pics, i have over the weekend fully ported and polished the head. its away now for a light skim. now the piston tops are cleaned of they almost look as good as the day they went in..lol

all the valve guides in 1 piece? ive seen the inlets fracture and do similar damage.

that wont be the cause of the damage. its not detonation.

to only dammage 1 bearing its only oil contanimation. fron the look of it something has been sitting in the crank and got loosed. did you have the crank grubscrewed when it was first built?

of have you recently put on a oil cooler?

hi t04gtr

cars has always had a 19row oil cooler fitted.feedsin the top and drain at the bottom, the oil filter is mounted low on a remote so when you do and oil change the cooler empties too.

no grub screw mate, collar was sweated on and has never moved

no valve guides damaged at all.

i find it hard to believe det after looking at the pistons..

still wondering why?.

If you had lost an engine at 900klm you would feel the same way as Marko. The engine in question was a low revving item that was never put under stress...N1 went bang.

GTRNUR...correct...the mains are all shiny from eating rod bearing material.

So what kind of revs was it pulling and under what circumstances did it go bang? Drag/circuit?

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
