comp test it then if its no good pull engine and remove the head, if its assembly error i reckon you will see grab marks in the bores (from butted rings etc)...

Thats what I was thinking also.

ah forgot that part. i put the crank in myself and couldnt get the rods and pistons in so got them put in at machining shop. then picked it up and assembled the rest myself

Should really leave this stuff to people who have done it 100 times before, sounds like rings aren't sealing. Have you done a comp test?

tbh im putting money on ring lands.

comp test now in

rear 6. 90 - then retested after all others and it was 90 again. maybe 92

5. 60 - retested 2nd last 60 again

4. 165 -

3. 92

2. 145

1. 160 - also retested and got 165 (maybe read guage wrong first time around?)

i did 1,2, 6,5,4,3 then 5 then 6 then 1 again or something like that to check battery wasnt going flat towards the end giving bad results

so any ideas now friends? i paid him to run it in on the dyno for me. if its not run in properly shud he fix it ( lets atart another round of lols for tuner replacing/fixing motor)

I don't think he is responsible personally, you said he didn't run any timing and it was quite rich, really doesn't sound like tuner error tbh. Only way to know is to pay a pro to strip the motor down and document the failure, which imo you should do so you know what went wrong and don't do it a second time.

If someone is to blame you need to be really sensitive about it, as if you accuse people (even if they were in the wrong) you can very quickly alienate yourself and they won't want to help you, especially if you can't easily prove it. I think getting a professional to strip it down is the best course of action from here on.

Think of it all as a learning experience, thankfully you haven't spent too much money so far.

oh yep. probably lost about $3500 in labour from getting engine put in and bit of other stuff from tuner guy and tune and crap. bottom end cost me $1300 all up

oh well. if the shop i was originally going to go with can do this new motor and install it for around the price he said the other day itl be not too bad in the end. which will make this first mechanic bill look REAL BAD

This is why I tell people to buy a complete short block with warranty from someone reputable, that way theres no blame to be laid, one company did all the work and warrant it. By the time you stuff around doing it 1,2,3 times until its done properly you've spent more than the cost of a full forged short block.

Still, it is the best way to learn (although expensive!)

Did the tuner hear any funny noises when at high rpm, such as valves very slightly touching the pistons possibly cracking the valve guides or blowing the stem seals. Could be the cause of the blowby too.

hey Joe, there is a mob called Bryant's engineering located on Mica St Rocklea i can vouch there Professional's there is also a guy out at Inala/Ipswich way is who is a gun with Nissan engines cant remember his name but my friend had work done by him and has seen his work many times good engine builder and he actually worked for Nissan for many years.... Tuning there is 1 guy that one person who comes to mind and that's Pitts down the gold coast... and there not going to run you down for trying to learn and have a go... don't worry mate keep learning don't let e-mechanics and e-tuners turn you off your game! good luck mate!

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
