Holy shit those guys are idiots, i hate to say it but that's not gonna come of in one piece. It'll have to be cut off because a 0.2mm interference fit is tight as f**k. A fit that tight should see the collar heated up, slipped on the crank and left to shrink on.

I shrunk my collar on with a 0.1mm interference and 0.1mm crush on the length, 270rwkw and 7000km's with some pretty hard driving and it hasn't let me down.

this happened to me, years ago.... except we built the engine and ran it like that.

What ended up happening is that the collar wore through the back plate of the timing gear, then that caused the balancer to come lose, the balancer started to flop around and it destroyed itself, also it destroyed the crank, then keyway was screwed in the crank.

Nothing i could to but replace the crank, then the new crank that came back from the same engine builder was the same! the collar was sitting over the crank itself. It was only after looking at the new crank for 1 hour trying to work out what happened when i figured it all out! was pretty happy i did not have to go all around and rip the motor appart again for a third time???

I took it back and asked him just to machine it flat so that collar is flush with the crank, 5 years and 160,000km later and all is still good. (inspected it a couple of months ago)

good work for picking it up, saved yourself alot of cash and time etc etc... mine is not grub screwed, and its still working like a charm..

Looking at one of the photo's close up you can see metal that has burred up and jammed it from them pressing it on so heavily. That tells me two thing: first of all those guys are sloppy, second that the chamfer on the inside diameter of the collar isn't big enough to accommodate the radius i can see on the crank.

With that said i would bet that it's not going to move towards the crank shoulder any more than that so machining the front off leavingabout 0.1mm of overhang on the face for the crank pulley and balancer to tighten down on.

Also make sure they machine back the start of the drive flats so doesn't protrude into the front seal area.

I'm bored so i put this drawing together to explain, you could give it to those drongos to fix it because it looks like they need all the help they can get.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
