Oh, that reminds me.....did the engine run backwards during the spin Duncan?

what a very interesting question.....there were 2 spins both at the same place and for the same reason, both were full 360 and the engine kept running both times. But now you mention it the knock started straight after the 2nd spin. I wonder how many g i pulled, wish I had data logging. Its also possible (but unlikely since I didn't notice) that I gave it an overrev when I got going again.

but frankly given the newness of the engine and the skills of the builder I suspect an assembly problem.

Bearing clearances? yep although I was surprised to hear that standard bearings were OK on a 100k engine. All according to the engine shop I didn't check their measurements.

Ring clearances are a bit looser than nissan spec we have to run standard piston and bore and after a hone it was a little looser, I didn't keep the exact figures.

Will next time tho :D

Ah huh, lotsa G, and then you gave it plenty in first gear to get going. It didn't hit the rev limiter by any chance?

:D cheers :D

lol I would prefer to leave it to the experts and stick to driving :O sadly life has not given me that choice I know far more than I ever wanted to about the inside of these engines ;)

If in fact it is dead that would be 3 RB engines killed by me in 5 years..... :idea: now there is a poll lol

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
