am doing a rebuiild in the next 2 months

apart from fixing the prob i have all the upgrades im looking at doing is forge piston, as the internal of the engine can easily handle 300rwkw no probs at a safe limit, so this is fine for me as i don't want more 250rwkw

We have had 2 Rb25dets, with just stockish mods blow ring lands on pistons and melt number 6 pistons, At around 190 - 200rwkw mark, So pushing any more then that with defiantly reduce the reliability of the motor and it will only be a matter of time until you blow the ring lands, as they are the weakest point on the rb25 motor.

I personally would save up some $ instead of modding it now.... and do the pistons and even by a set of GTR rods for insurance, and then blot on your turbo, injectors, computer, other wise it become very expensive when you do blow your ring lands and score your bore, damage your valves, and so on. Your maching bill goes up very quickly.

If you have had 2 motors pop ringlands at 190-200rwkw then I would seriously look at why they broke.

Obviously either the tuner is pumping too much ign. timing in at peak torque + running the AFR's on the edge or there is a injector or fuel pump problem.

Thanks for the replies guys! Some excellent info here

Hrmm well i guess i'm aiming for the 250rwkw mark - with a good tune it should be ok. I'd love to mess around with the internals and forge em but I haven't quite cracked the $18 mil Powerball yet! hehe. I guess 250-300rwkw out of the stock internals is pretty good considering how many RWKW these cars push out stock ( to the best of my knowledge its about 140-150ish?)

I think it really depends on the health of the motor before you even started modding it.

Some people will have a motor in better condition than others.

This is a very good point - what tests are best to determine engine health before i start thumping on more mods? compression test?

Leak down test would be my first choice, then have the oil tested for contaminents.:(

We have a DR30 with a stock RB25 with twin 25/30 HKS turbos that is a full time Barbagallo race car that has made 400rwhp for 3 years on pump BP fuel and does 63 sec laps before the track resurface still runs fine so it is possible.

Car is Gary stewert and the driver is Rob marcon and the car is well knowen and a championship winner.

Obviously either the tuner is pumping too much ign. timing in at peak torque + running the AFR's on the edge or there is a injector or fuel pump problem.

The main reason was because the cars were thrashed pretty hard for about 6 - 8 months, and onces they were up around 100,000km mark they tend to become pretty week in the ring-lands. and just couldn't take it any more.

It was more a less an experiment to see how long and how much we could get out of a stock motor. as we had planned for a fully forged internal re-builds.

Too tell you the real reson why, Is we fitted an AVC-R into the car and had it comming on fully boost by 2500 all the way though to red-line.

And after a few runs at that setup, it just blew the ring lands.

well i wasnt going to relpy to this but i have to now after someone saying they fried 2 skylines at close to 200kw, I am running standard iners and turbo and have been making reliable 200rwkw for well since the car was brought in to aust and prob well before that, all that is different is a remaped standard computer and some normal mods like exaust and crap, and have friends that were running 300rwkw but thats when things get iffie, just be careful of leaning out.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
