You let the Nissan out

Realistically, 300kw. Use it. Enjoy it. Potentially even use it again 😛

I know, and all I did for years was say NEO headstuds dis dat 400kW... hypocrite I am 😂

New goal, reliable 500kW.

Given we see 1000hp+ turbo LS stuff doing over 400 passes and over 20 thousand road k's , I don't see why not. 

At that power I'd call it reliable. 

All about how it's built and how it's used.

lol 500KW & reliable......

Go spend 100k and then tell me if you achieve reliability. Pls m8.

No thanks.

Rather go buy another investment property.

All about how its presented on Insta. The breakages get left out when you're trying to sell reliability.

Paint looks magic mate, good job!  Selenite is a Benz colour from memory? Goddam old car ownership can be frustrating!  Glad you’re giving it some love, hopefully she’s back on the road in no time!

When GT3 racecar manufacturers (Mclaren, Porsche, Acura, Nissan, many other mfg's) all have 500 HP engines lasting 60 hours of use time, or, 12,000km of use (I mean, its track kms though obviously) you know that if they could have made that more reliable... they would have - given they have a massive interest in doing so by having a more reliable motor than their competitors.

And they are not cheap cars, nor cheap engines...

But um... nah mate I have 1000kw for 8 years no breakdowns bruh #bulletproof

Since anything Japanese car related is stupid money have you thought of putting the BMW 335 motor and box it? 

At least it won't blow oil pumps and smash boxes lolol..

Good news, I've found another block too. Hopefully back on the road soon.

I found my old neo crank if it's any use to you send me a message, otherwise will put it up for sale. What a reasonable price for a crank in perfect condition came from a running 100,000km engine? Also have full set of pistons (who wants standard pistons though) and rods (same as RB26 so may be worth something,)

Crank is still a short nose crank, same as any other RB25 so not hugely sought after. If its in great condition is doesn't need a grind then maybe ~$200. If its got some gouges or enough where to warrant anything more than a links then the nitriding will be removed and I'd say its pretty worthless, 50 bucks maybe but more likely a bin job.

 

Pistons for the bin. 

 

Rods, these days probably not so popular anymore, people probably more likely to go with a set of Chinese forgies if they are building a cheap motor. Maybe $150?

Yeh this is the thing - a track car actually uses 500hp. If you have a car that once made 500kw on the dyno, but all you do is drive it 20kms to work everyday at under 3000rpm - you don't have a reliable 500kw car, you have a reliable 120kw car haha. And even then, you will probably still find yourself pulling it down before it ever gets close to 50,000kms. 

 

Nobody is jumping into their 160,000km-since-rebuild 500kw Skyline, driving it to the track and thrashing it for 3 hours, then driving it home. Nobody.

Has the replacement block been crack tested?

Will be soon, usual checks. If this one is also cracked I will have a sads.

See how I go, hopefully my old crank isn't cactus, if it is I'll message you 😊

 

And don't worry, I'll send the next motor too. Test and learn, worked out I need more crank vents and even smaller restrictors with an even larger sump. Next motor will last, I'm confident it will.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
