Who Has The Worst Luck On Sau?

[Anfanee]

Ah well... As is life. Fingers crossed nothing else breaks when i get it back!

[Manuel Kasko]

I once nearly ran out of petrol....was close to having bad luck

[Anfanee]

Rofl. Good on you.

[Manuel Kasko]

Nah just farking with you that actually never happened.

Hope it all works out with the car.

Keep us posted on your turbo choice

[Anfanee]

I should find out today/tomorrow whats going on... After this my gearbox will go i can see it happening.

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha shut up and dont talk like that

[Anfanee]

It has a 33 gearbox behind it so lets hope not...................

[Verms]

Its a stronger box so should be good but it would come down to your driving and crunching 4th gear! lol

You might not find out today as they have a more priority there right now! my car!

[Anfanee]

Oh yeah about that... i called them and told them you where putting yours in so i could have the turbos... Sorry bout that mate...

[Verms]

thats ok they put the fresh engine in mine at the same time! lol

[Anfanee]

I had mine for a few months and blew the oil pump. That was in April. I still don't have the car back yet. Cooked the pistons, bearings, cracked the block, blew the turbos, clutch and 4th gear. And the pump came out in seven pieces Found out then that the thermostat was shot, the harmonic balancer had been welded on and that an RB26 is the hardest engine to work on. Then got taken for a ride by the mechinist..... But almost done!

Solid effort. Mine blew the head cracked a few pistons and shattered some valves. All in All the work was to bore the block out slightly, new pistons and rods and a complete head rebuild. On top of that We did a full fuel system upgrade including a new oil pump... the only things that i DIDN'T touch as im broke where the injectors (that we where told are fine) the ECU and the turbos. ECU is getting done ASAP. And now i blew a turbo.... So both of those are getting replaced. Fingers crossed nothing else dies. Like i said with a triple plate clutch and a 33 gearbox lets hope not.... But man that's a solid effort on that 26 you did. Hope you get yours back all nice with no issues!

[Shuyin]

Well its a new block, thank god the head was fine. So got a nismo clutch, CP pistoms, Ross balancer, some -7s with HKS actuators and should be back on the road soon

[Anfanee]

Yep a heavy part of my cost was rebuilding the block/head. Fingers crossed you get it back all sweet! i was wishing to bring the 32 to the SAU event this week. But unless i get the fastest Turbo replacement in history i doubt it hahaha.

[GTRKat]

You probably don't want to hear this, but in my experience the 33 gearbox was no stronger than the original... Gearboxes are a consumable aren't they?

[Shuyin]

Agree with 'Kat on this, you want a stronger box go aftermarket, although I don't know if the GETRAG 6 speeds are any better....

[Anfanee]

meh if it goes it goes haha.... ill just cry a little inside.

[Tyranus]

My GT-R had no issues what so ever. In this case it was the owner that had the issue.. i WANT MOAR POWAH therefore the engine and gearbox has been pulled out.

[Anfanee]

hahaha MOAR POWAH=Future issues... Wait for it all to start... How much you aiming for? Im expecting mine to be close to 300KW and that's ill i really want in a road car haha.
