Iv blown the bottom end in my r32 GTR and don't no witch way to go about it, I'm sorta on a tight budget due to jus buying a house, if I should go with a rb30/26 bottom end or just buy a new motor iv had the car for a while but jus sits in the garage 2nd drive I went for 8months after buying the car bang bottom end gone. :(

Havnt had a chance to dyno it or nothing.

Following mods are

Intank walbro 500hp fuel pump

850cc injectors pretty sure

Full 3/half inch exhaust wid aftermarket dumps

-5 turbos

Any one know ruffley what power it would push wid a stock motor and the following mods including a ecu plus a good tune.

& if I was to go rb30 bottom end forged, what adjustments ect I would have to do.

Thanks post-133383-13942935135466_thumb.jpgpost-133383-13942935281152_thumb.jpgpost-133383-13942935621347_thumb.jpg

If your tight, stay 26 bottom end.

Its not exactly simple to fit a 30 in a r32 shell, block sits higher and bonnet closing issues where the turbo badge is on the pipe.

By the time you factor in the adapter plate, welding the rear sump bolt holes, redrilling them, new pickup pipe, some small mods to the block like your knock sensors bolt holes and clearancing for the adapter plate, piping or joiners to reach a bit higher and the fact that its not legal, stay with the 26.

If you spun a bearing, just get another crank with the long nose, some rods and pistons and your done, or just get a second hand working engine from a 33/34 (long nose crank drive) and just keep driving, your old engine being sold should cover the engine swap costs if your paying someone to do it for you.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
