Baffled Sump by the look of it? I always liked the prospect of the HOR extended sump but I read its a pain in the ass and can only be fitted with the engine out. Lucky you're already there ;)

Baffled but not gated, feeling a bit poor haha.. Yeah you "could" do it motor in but at that rate you might as well take the motor out.

Some progress tonight, I removed the crank. Some scoring on the bearings so might change all of them too :(

I was hoping on the conrod bearings needed changing but YOLO right? I still want to retain the standard NEO rods and NEO pistons because they said not to let the Nissan out *ahem* @GTSBoy, @Piggaz. Nissan hasn't been let out lol.

Oh hai! Looks the goods, sump was modified to suit the AWD motor going RED as the pick up sits more forward. Test fitting was spot on, I like very much - great success.

Off to the machinist it goes, the silly crank.

Nissan is well and truly out now brah. You've contaminated it with Sydney air. Should be alright though. #RBLIFE4EVA

Still stock!!!

Crank at shop, but their machinist has buggered off overseas for 4x weeks!

Thinking if I should do connecting rod bolts too lol.

Still stock motor :)

Are stock bolts capable of 400rwkw? 

If no, then replace. 

Given the driving style I'd worry more about balance/harmonics/oil pump strength etc. 

Unless the rod bolts are a known weak point? 

Got a good balancer for it?

derno, Matt Wooten & TIm Burt don't seem to have issues with stock oil pump, stock rod/bolts

Soooooo why did you pull it apart if these guys have been trucking along for years with the stock setup?

just to install the Spool oil pump gears and to install a new head gasket - that was it :)

May have gotten a tiny bit carried away with the headwork but that's just it.. everything else is just pretty stock

Actually had free time for a change, which I rarely do.. so decided to do some work on the siet bok rust bucket.

I always has an issue where the camber kept changing every track day and I had a feeling the OEM camber bolts were moving so I decided to deleted the bastard with this GKtech camber lock out kit. 

On removing the OEM camber bolts it was evident the machined groove and offset washer weren't working correctly, most likely slipping when I'm smashing into ripple strips. 

Man 60% of yhe arms are Hardrace lol.. bastard should sponsor me!

Yeah cnuts! 

Removing those stupid machined screws are not fun, used those impact/hammer screw drivers and a bit of heat. I bashed the shit out of the pump like Pacquiao vs Horn and eventually all of them came out.

    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
