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!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
