Yeah sorry, bad question.... I wouldnt have been blaming anyone for a failure for the exact reason WMDC35 mentions..... Ill stay quiet now until i have a Dyno sheet of my own so i can join this thread properly :rolleyes:

Soon mate. Hows ur car coming along? No rush aye. Just add to the 2 yrs hahaha :P

Wise guy eh? :dry:

Haha it was coming along well man, they have been busy... I was told Adam was in on Saturday still doing wiring so it must be a huge job..... Will get updates soon! And HOPEFULLY a dyno result too!

Just about 200k on the clock, using a vipec pnp ecu with addon air temp sensor and 5bar map. Redline at 7800. As already said won't name the tuner and I don't blame them at all, it was never going to hold together. When its out at the track it gets limiter bashed all day and hasn't ever had an easy life since I've owned it.

Just as a note the tune was spot on, running 12 all the time.

Yeah sorry mate, bad question on my behalf... What i really wanted to know was the KM as i thought it would also be relevent to the thread as the time (as in years) doesnt reflect the amount of KM travelled etc..... Still, thats an impressive effort.... Cheers for the info! :yes:

12:1 afr for a track car? that personally would have made me nervous, cracked ring land screams det as well, probably fine for a few minutes at full noise, but with track temps and heatsoak it might not have been enough leg room.

Could have been something else, rev limiter action or who knows but if you replace the motor it I'd definitely drop it down for the track, be nice to get a temp gauge and see what sort of temps it is seeing but sometimes it is just easier to guess and err on the safe side.

Was wondering this myself; was it determined what caused the failure? Detonation or excessive cylinder pressures?

Vehicle has always been 11-12's and never had any issues at all even on a 35deg day at the track. No signs of detonation on any cylinders. My guess is just too much limiter bashing. I run data logging for knock sensors and a couple of other sensors, none of which showed anything abnormal from when it occured.

Edit- btw when I say track its used for drift so you don't see the same sort of heat soak as circuit really.

What temperatures did you log it getting to? it is pretty hard to hear knock over the mechanical noise, are you using the stock knock sensors or aftermarket? I wouldn't trust the stock gear to pick up anything over 5000 rpm, apparently nissan disables them over this rpm range anyway as they just pick up too much noise.

Edited by Rolls

Yeah you'd never hear the detonation, especially with an external gate and screamer. Using the knock amplifier kit, which from memory uses Bosch knock sensors.

As for temps, just looking at the log, my peak coolant temp was 94, oil was 91, air temps around the 40 mark.

EOTD getting 2 years out of a motor that costs less than 2k, getting limiter bashed at nearly 8k pushing out 300+rwkw is pretty farken good.

really makes a good argument for not bothering to build a motor unless you are going for well over 350

that and the nissan seal of approval is often better than that of a lot of engine builders around the country.

Yep amazing what there capable of when you actually think about it approaching 16-19 year old motors and pumping out double power at limiter continuously. Mines going 315kw for 2 years track car now heavy revs and sounds perfect, amazes me everytime it gets through another track day.

Definately has made me lean towards option of just chucking another 2nd hand one in when it finaly does blow.

I don't get on here much any more, work is a bitch - and never ever buy property and then build!!!! You'll have no life if you do, I can gaurantee that.

Mods: s2r33, 3076, Hks external gate, poncams, 550's, HKS cast manifold, PFC, FMIC, SP III, and all that other stuff

Fuel: anything 95 or better + WMI

Power: 301rwkw @ 17psi

Useage: parked in driveway for last 5 months, hasn't moved

Lifespan: means nothing, I've only put 5,000km on it in the last 12 months and I did that in two trips [Coffs and Mt Gambier].

Failure: Don't get to drive it enough, too damn busy

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
