Hey my mate recently blew up his R33 engine. Noting the basics its a Rb25 block, GTR crank, GTR rods and 92mm pistons. Anyhow when he took the pistons out there was a cutout up the side of the piston and when u look down the cylinder bore from the top where the head would normally sit there is a squirter nozzle there which appears to squirt oil onto the underside of the piston. My question being, is this a standard item on RB engines? We havent seen inside one b4 so wouldnt have a clue. The cutout in the piston is on the same side as the oil squirter like its been cut out to clear the nozzle? Anyone got ideas?

yes as said b4 they are std in most nissan engines due too japan having the knowledge that you cant get enuff lubrication .....

the oil squirters are for bore lubrication on the thrust side due too the high friction point of the bore just too add an increase of less friction ...if you know what i mean ...

i was glad that my engine had them due too my after market rods having no oil squirter through the centre of the rod so the oil squirters will do the work ....

hope i was of help ...

The oil squirters are for piston crown cooling. The rod squirters are for bore lubrication. It is interesting that many aftermarket forged rods dont bother with the bore lubrication holes, not even cut outs on the thrust face of the big end, as some other manufacturers do. Argo are one such company I've enquired about this. They said they have never had any failures attributable to no bore lubrication. Obviously the cloud of oil mist in the sump normally must provide adequate lubrication for this, although it then raises the issue as to why OEM manufacturers bother with it.

hehe i do get you mate, but the angle of my oil squirters do not meet the angle too the piston ..... im saying that oil squirters may also be there for a dual perpose too also lubricate the bore as well my squirters are not on a 90 degree angle but about 35 degree there for when the piston is at top dead center it would lubric8 the bore then when piston comes down near bottom dead center they would cool the piston crown...... get me ....

im not in for a debate im just telling you that not all squirters are the same,

im not just a young enthusiest mate im an engineer as well .

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
