Gtr R34 Rebuilt Parts

[vspecR]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at buyer an R34 GTR at the moment.

The owner has blowned the engine before by putting more than 25psi boost on the standard engine and turbo, resulting in snapping the crankshaft (does that sound right?) . What usually happens when you snap the crankshaft? what other parts does it damage?

Anyways, the engine has been rebuilt using : 'bottom end are: standard nissan crank shaft, scat h beam conrods and je forged pistons with rings'

now i am planning to mod it to about 300-350kw. Will the standard crank shaft be strong enough? and i tried googling scat H-beams and i cant find infomation about it...so has anyone had any experience or heard anything about these rods?

the engine was also rebuilt was done in a small town by a local mechanic. so i am skeptical about the build. The mechanic has basically told me he has rebuilt the engine and the car is just running factory power, becuase the owner doesnt know much about cars.

the price is really good, so im tempted to buy it

let me know what you guys think

thanks guys

im quite sure that there must have been other propblems, ive seen people run 700+ horses on the standard crank. (nothing modded or changed either)

just make sure that the block is in good condition and same goes for the head. which is a bit of a hard thing to check. but i doubt they would rebuild it with a crap block/head anyways

Yeh im hoping the block and head were fine after the engine went bang. Im not sure how to check that but i will bring it to a mechanic and get the whole car checked out before i buy it.

Has anyone heard of Scat H-beam conrods? i want to know if they are any good. are they cheap?

cheers

check them out, and i really doubt that any aftermarket forged items would be crap... just saying

main thing to check i guess would be smoke from any oil problems, valve seals, scrapes inside of block etc.

highly doubt they wouldnt get it re honed or bored/fixed while they rebuilt it.
