hey all

looking like the best way around my problems is going to be to just replace the motor,

here some pics for you all from my engine !

Try the guy wrecking a series 2 manual in the stagea for sale section

thought the engines are the same, just the sump is modded for the front diff, just like the rb26, you just replace the sump and its just a normal engine, i didnt know there was a awd block, just thought there was a awd sump

yeah or you can get factory oversized pistons

on the others it should have a 1 or a 2 stamped into the top of the piston

that will be the size that that bore was honed to at the factory

dunno if you have to go bigger if you hone tho

if i hone back the engine... ill have to go bigger pistons correct?

is there anyway i can use a 2nd hand piston??

No

Only go bigger pistons if you "bore" (machine) the block from 86mm to either 86.5mm or 87mm max

Hone is just sort of like sanding it, so you will keep the same size piston, but usually fit new rings.

You could use a second hand piston. It will have to be from a "neo" engine as they are different to R33's etc.

With the mess you have in that cyinder, I would b3 stripping the entire block to flash out any foriegn metal particals etc.

Otherwise you will get it all back togather and have problems later.

With the amount of problems you are YET to face and lack of experience, I would suggest finding a complete long motor and move on.

ive kinda sources a 26 and box but i would also like to get this back on the go aswell.

i wont be doing any engine work as such, just re assembling it

i will take this engine out. get it honed back where needed.. drop a 2nd hand piston and new rings in and hope for the best

is it true the rings are 300 a set?

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
