I hear so many conflicting opinions about this. I just rebuild my engine with wiseco forged pistons and my mechanic has has the car for a week because he wants to put some k's on the engine. is it really necessary?

Not at all.

Bed the rings on the dyno, tune it up.

All my motors have been done this was, as have countless others. If the motor is built right from the start you shouldn't have issues.

Had this discussion with Paul earlier today about my motor - thats his prefered method too. He just said the thing not to do is don't let the mottor idle to bed the rings in

Yes it is

And the oil is critical ( type and prelube on cams etc) i would never flog a brand new engine build unless your wallet is thick and racing required it !!

yes racing a quick run in to seat rings and bearings , check for leaks etc , heat cycle it a few times before a caning it

But have built many engines and popped them into race cars after 5 min of checking for leaks off to the races without drama and it lasted most of the season before melting a forged piston ( fuel related failure )

i was always told you had to bed them in for a couple thousand kays :/

My 34 GTR is almost done now and i have been told by my mechanic he wants me to drive it for about 1000km then bring it back to him to make sure its all tourqued up and that sort of thing before i give it some.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
