failure: Conrod number 1 smashed 3months ago.

comments: I did all works & tuning myself. Knock never exceed 25knock counts.

definitely no pinging. last time i checked with Yavus, the knock was 40-50knocks and it was fine and when hit about 100 then you can hear the ping. Also with my car, i have never seen knock over 10 when startup. Not all engine have the same knock reading.

When i add 2 degree advance, the knock will go straight up to 80-100 and you can hear the pinping.

would the pinging snapped the rod, and all the pistons are perfectly fine. Also on cylinder 1 i have allowed 1%more fuel.

The reason i posted here just to show that anything more than 300rwkw and 7500rpm is not safe, just a matter of time depending on the condition of the engine. 7000rpm limit would probably live longer. I have already prepared for this to happen and i decided to increase the power to see where the stocky can take me.

Don't flame me, i just wanna share info. :yes:

That's what i thought, high rev with the power level, the rod just let go. like i said pistons are fine, not a scratch.

Also i have allowed piston 1 and 6 with extra fuel (1% & 2% respectively).

After running WMI for last few years, the pistons are all clean, no carbon build up what so ever.

As entering the freeway, on 2nd gear on full throttle and went bang. I'm pretty sure i didn't hit the rev, it was more like about 5000rpm.

Mods: Usual crap and gt35r@26psi.

Power: ? Plenty more than 300rwkw.

Fuel: BP98

Oil: Some full synth crap.

Usage: Drove it to work and cruised on the weekend. Saw 7k rpm every day of the week.

Lifespan: Not long enough.

Failure: Was tuning in the passenger seat with the missus driving. Was fine the day before and the day it broke it was leaning out a bit. Didn't have much fuel in the tank...Either that or the fuel pump wasn't keeping up. Third gear pulls down the road from 80 kph. By the time I saw 13:1, yelled stop and she got off it, it went over 15:1 at full boost around 5k rpm. It was like this...brrrrrr, pshhhh, crackle pshh crackle pshh crackle, BANG! Popped off the intercooler pipe. Put the pipe back on, started it and there was blowby from one cylinder. Drove it home. Stripped it down a few weeks later. Broken ringland in number 2. Bearings still good, bores still have hone marks, no signs of detonation. Only broke from the leanout. Could have lasted ages or not...

Lucky it broke or I would have never built the forged 2530 that is currently getting machined. Should be in the car by next weekend.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
