Cheers!

Was a hella mission with all the logistics involved but engine is now in and bolted to the drivetrain, bonnet just rubs on cam gears or backing plate (not sure which yet) which it always did. I had redrilled the engine mount holes but opted not to lower the engine so I could keep clearance between the swaybar and the sump. Might try so bigger bonnet spacers and if the rubbing is a big issue and starts destroying belts, I may have to modify the bonnet :(

Or.. just be gay and put the cover back on :P

My nice -10 breather fittings don't fit under the bonnet either :( So need to figure something else out there.

So excited that it is home with the engine in, now I can get stuck into the piping!

There are some brackets you can buy to clip the gtr grill in to.. they simulate the gtr lights with the inbuilt clips. The part numbers are on here (sau) somewhere, remember it from years ago. Otherwise gtr lights are not exactly rare..

I think i may have to search for those numbers as i want to get a gtr grill instead of teh letterbox i have now. Just found rear wheels bearings for 100beans each!! :banana:

CBC bearings in perth have them in stock

NJ246KIT is the number he quoted me, i won't know 100% til they get down here. But he assured me they were for a 32 and he had one in his hand describing it to me.

My diff seals came in so now i just have to get a couple sets of bearings and i can rebuild them

Those were trade prices aswell bubba

Interesting is that part number comes up as s15 rear wheel bearing.

*edit

I hope it isn't. I'll rip one out of my spare rear end i have in the garage and take it into work to confirm measurements once the new bearings get in.

Thanks for the headlight info aswell heller44 :thumbsup:

Hubs are different material, shock mounts are different, but I didn't think the track is wider.. Guards are, but mine is the same as a gtst, all steel front as well. So same drivetrain as a gtr with more weight and less tyre.. awesome.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
