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 appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
