Hey mate Its interesting seeing how long the stock gtr motor will last. They dont seem to hold up very well on the track at all in stock form and require a lot of money and someone who knows how to build them to get them reliable on the track. I don't recommend anyone tracking there gtr unless they have a properly built motor otherwise its just a matter of time before it lets go, as you can see from the results from your thread. I think you have been a bit lucky and smart (by holding the revs back) that your motor has lasted this long. I think this thread is a good lesson to first time gtr owners who want to go to the track. So whats the specs on the new motor?

Next motor will be just a used r33 with good compression

Will add some pom cams, larg sump, front LSD, new oil pump, new belts, Nismo plenum. Revised oil drain arrangement and some new oil

Will also slap my to4z on with 6 gets, wide and and oil pressure protection on the computer

Interesting theory

With some common sense and engine like the one in this car will go for anther year as is

Having said that now it's surey going to throw a rod next track day

Yeah I hope so, will be good to see how far it will go. Next motor is looking good mate. Should be a lot of fun!

Will you build up the motor at all at some time? Would be interesting to see compression results after each track day with a built motor

The old and dated TO4Z. Farrk they still look completely awesome but. I wish HKS would do a revise on there turbos and bring out new billet wheeled turbos. FAT CHANCE but.

Build looks like it's alot of fun for yourself and Jenna. Good luck with it all guys.

Cheers Josh

Yea I was tot to go a new billet turbo for a extra 1k spool

But the cost is just stupid with all the fiddly bits

Hks= bolt on no f**king around as well, can be installed without thinking on the weekend while having a beer

In other new someone gave me a just china carbon front grill.... IT was so unbelievably shit( not even close to fitting), dont buy that shit

Catch can is a craved getting moded and the new setup is underway to keep the engine going for a few more weeks

welllllll!

so i did a cold compression test last night

150,150,150,140,128,150

i will do a hot compression test as well over the weekend

looks like i may have found my excessive blow bye issue

turns out that a 16 year old engine doesnt like thrashing over the last 4 track days

so what am i to do? ( epic 4 year build thread like most people here?, normal skyline owners would put it up for sale and not mention it to the poor new owner)

me ill add a extra catch can and some mines baffels and take her back to the track

i must say i was hoping this thread would go for years prior to unwrapping teh backup motor, but it look like that will be happening sooner, mind you ill back the revs off and boost off and it could go for a another year( touch wood)

Hey Fat Man! You are getting soooooooo flash, sorta like a rat with a gold tooth. :) Cheater tyres, lightweight wheels, you're worse than me!

Refreshing to see you are not just putting it up for sale with an engine that blows the dipstick out. You'd never do a thing like that hey? Just kidding big fella, it's great to see the work you are doing on this car.

We need to catch up properly soon. I'll see if I can rustle up a couple of spare livers.

...Ben

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
