Engine sitting awaiting its head to be sent off for porting and block/internal inspection.

I was told by the previous owner that the car had an ATI balancer turns out this was a lie not happy.

Ati balancers are very visible so it's fairly easy to check if they are there...

Regardless, you can buy one from the states for around $600 delivered

Well to be honest i was a GT-R noob who only knew the basics.. i have much more knowledge now. I have already purchased an 1000hp ATI balancer which is on its way.

true, but to be told something from the previous owner that is just a straight up lie isn't much fun.

True that. Especially after he says im the "X SAU President of SA, i dont take short cuts..". Oh well shit happens at the end of the day i still got my self a very good car for the price i paid for it.

so your going the 2.7 stroker, that is still the only one they make for the 26 isn't it?

Epic power will result, i really think you are being a little modest looking to make 500kw with an SPL, when that is achievable with the KAI. Great looking 32 you have

Looks like a crazy build, good luck, cant wait to see it finished, will be keeping an eye on this thing

Cheers mate, i cant wait for it. I miss driving thig so much i cant put it into words lol.

Well ive been offered to be a test car for Nitto's new 2.8 stroker kit so im weighing up my options. Im trying to not over hype myself with a huge power figure goal lol. But yeah 500+ ON ALL FOUR not rwkw is the goal. And thanks for the compliment.

  • 4 months later...

Good news: I got myself a Nitto 2.8 stroker kit + N1 Block.


Bad news: Shane aka RBWARE is a lier.



Im very disapointed and angry right now Shane aka RBWARE.


When you sold me this car you advertised it with the following modifications.


ENGINE

Forged pistons and HKS Cams

Complete re-built head w/copper head gasket

Motor balanced, blueprinted and crank tested

Baffled sump


Upom inspecting the block before the sale we see that the following are stock standard.


Standard Rods

Standard Rod Nuts and Studs

Standard Main Studs

Standard Head Studs

Standard Cams


The block has not been balanced the heads have not been rebuilt.


I purchased the car under the impression that it was fully built. I wanted to resolve this privately but RBWARE has blocked me for some reason unknown to me. So mate send me a PM. Cause you have to answer to me.

Oooohhhhh that is so f@rked up!!!!

So disappointing hearings things like that.

I like your build 500kw at all fours is insane!

Despite all the bullsh!t you went / going through, I hope you keep going with what you want.

Cheers mate. Yea it is quiet dissapointing seeing that the previous owber was the former SAU presidebt for SA. Also boasting about how ge doesbt take shortcuts..

Anyway my build is still on. The target is minimum 500awkw we are aiming for 1000hp at the engine. So im not sure if should go full 5 or 4 inch exhaust. I will post pics as soon as the kit and bloxk arrives.

You can't blame your self, it wasn't exactly a random seller. Being a president clearly gave him some credibility, all he did was put a big dent in everyone's trust. It was/is a nice car there was no need to false advertise, engine is healthy and would be perfectly fine for 90% of people's use. However this obviously could have ended REALLY bad!!! cant wait to see this thing on the road!!! Keep the progresss flowing mate

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
