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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
