and neither his plenum or exhuast manifold will bolt to it, may as well just buy a r35 send it to HKS and demand 60 tonnes of downforce and a jazillion killawasps while there at it. dont stuff around trowelly, go hard or go home

oh, you guys were just kidding?

RIPS seemed really cheap and when I called them they were really nice, so I bought one of thier RB25\30s Long motors

Just arrived Yesterday Afternoon, should be good for Round 4 :)

Edit: Hey Jack, can you paint my rocker covers for me please? Need it done before Saturday!

f**k you, my car only just started and you're shoving in and RB25/30. You said you had bought a new engine, I was wondering why you went so damn quiet when I asked what it was...

Seriously, f**k you buddy.

So f**king jelly. f**k.

Here are some more pics of broken bits.

Piston #1, melted a bit and the top ring snapped into 3 bits.

Piston #1 on right with another OK piston for comparison.

Bearings in the Mains Girdle, this one, #6 was particularly hurt.

#2 Mains bearing, what looks to be a little uneven wear, I don't have the gear to measure it though.

Most of the mains bearings looked like this, except the middle thrust bearing.

Another mains bearing.

Another pic of #6, I've got no idea what the f**k happened here....

So yeah, that's a good $250 piston ruined by me being an asshole. All the other 5 are like perfect though, not really sure what to do with them... All the rods are perfect, the little end bearings are perfect. The cylinder walls are all OK, need a good hone and they'd be good to go. Except for #1, that's got a weird scratch in it, but it's below where the piston skirt is. Not really sure how that happened? It's hard to take a picture of though

I reckon all the bearings are hurt from oil surge problems from doing Sprints and Drifting with a stock sump.... 61 seconds around basky with a stock sump, doesn't love it!

I've got a new complete engine coming soon; I'll be nicer to this one.

If anyone has a RB25DET block or short motor lying around, let me know!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
