so paul has dissected my motor a while ago now, check the attached photos

worrying stuff!

The original builder did not clean the crank, hence one of the oil galleries got clogged up!

which explains the bearing issue!

Luckily everything else was able to be salvaged!

The water pump also started leaking as wasn't sealed correctly and im not even going to get started on the "extended sump"! in Pauls words "its the worst sump ive ever seen"

Original builder should stay away.. far away from ever attempting to build another 26 :spank:

SHIIIITTTT!

thats just disgusting how a business can take your money and do poor work!

atleast the cars in good hands now!

yeh mate.. Pauls showing it some much needed love :3some:

if all goes well, should have it back end of next week or week after

Just read the whole thread, looks like I missed alot of it...

If I was a betting man, i'd say that *********built your motor? I say that based on my own personal experience with an SR I had built by them many years ago...if im right, it would seem he still has no clue about putting Jap motors together...glad youre getting looked after, from all accounts your motor is in good hands, good luck with it mate.

You're sailing pretty close to the wind here champ.

I suggest you go and familiarize yourself with the forum rules before even 1 more post.

You guess... WRONG :P

ive put a few engines togther over the years but when it comes to high revving long crankshaft engines its best left to the guys who really know them inside out.

Red R build more RB's than anyone in this country and thats all they do. It was a simple choice to make when i decided to throw some big bucks at my current engine.

What a story, just read the whole thing.

Just goes to show that there is no substitute for experience. Good to see how generous people can be in times of need.

Hope you get it all going again soon, it's a very tidy rig.

all the best mnate.

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
