Dug up some old data prior to the motor blowing up. Managed to crack the 200km/h barrier down the main straight of Wakefield Park - this back up the car was making some decent power till it spat ring lands (we all knew it was going to happen).

Machinist should be back soon from his last minute holiday and I'll get the crank back then it's party time (maybe). 

I have a track day I'm running with Yez Racing guys so would be nice to have the car running. Let's see!

3x months later I've gotten my crank back, what an adventure with that shop. Not to mention they decided to charge me more as well, what arseholes.

Anyhow that aside, I've gotten my cam covers powder coated black because stealth is best.

Size?

Are they much lighter?

Went yalla habibi spec, 18x9.5 +22. Has some homosex 245 wide tyres, once the car is running again OR when I decide to put a motor and gearbox into it I will get the guards cut/reshaped to allow 265 semis to fit under the guards and look stock. No gay stretch no gay camber.

And funny enough, the Rays 57S aka Gram Lights are indeed lighter than the OEM GT-R wheels.

Pull your finger out and get cracking son. FYI, i have 18 x 9 +22 all round with 265/35. Fit good. Rear guards are rolled a bit, running -2 camber and front has unrolled +20mm fenders. With 265 on 9 inch there is about 5-7mm clearance to the upright.

Decided the block should be painted black, so it got painted black.

Also the stock pistons were given a clean, looking good.

So I decided to get new rings, new ACL race bearings, new ARP rod bolts, new ARP 2000 mains, Spool crank collar, Spool Billet N1 oil pump gears installed and lastly the OEM water/oil heat exchanger was deleted. 

Motor is still stock lol.

Special thanks goes to Matt at Redsun Motorsport & Mechanical for dealing with my bullshit and also pointing out some cock ups with a previous shop that did my crank collar install.

Spent part of Sunday going through my collection of nuts and bolts from last year. Not fun, also turns out the service manual doesn't tell you of bolt lengths to use lol.

Modified RWD pickup installed, one day this motor could go into a GTR lol.. 0.1L smaller but higher compression, has VCT, billet oil pump gears so it won't go bang!

Installed water pump, ancillary bracket as well as the alternator. Whilst installing the water pump with gasket maker I then rummaged through the box and found a gasket for it lol.. too bad so sad.

Another hiccup was that the Stagea engine mount brackets/arms are no good in the R33 so will need to source RWD ones. Then as I was installing the knock sensors followed by the OEM oil pressure sensor - I realised the NEO uses a different one so derp.. need a R33 one.

Worth redoing the water pump or you confident in the gasket maker? 

 

Nissan manual advises to use gasket maker, so should be on point. 

I really hate putting it together.

I have never used anything but gasket maker. The gasket looks like a piece of a4 paper cut roughly into the shape of a dick anyway, would much prefer liquid gasket

    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
