mustve been something wrong there for a ringland to go in a rb20det....what caused it, if i may ask?

Im not too sure, there was a bit of pinging involved im guessing.

Im not too sure yet if its a ring land, but its suspected, as there is alot of oil getting straight into the bore, and getting burnt up causing a bit of smoke.

My old man is ping tone deaf. :P

He held it down in his EF Fairmont some time back and it was rattling its head off. I was like aaaaahhhhhh stop.... Its pinging its head off, No wonder its blowing smoke in the revision mirror.

I can't hear it pinging he said. :)

my guess is somebody thrashed the pants off it running silly high boost and stock ecu, as seems to be all the rage these days.

you can use but you'll have to swap all the sump and things over as that has your front diff in it, whereas on RWD it doesn't.

do a search and you will find some info..

To your original question - the sumps are different between the RWD and AWD versions of the RB20DET - you can't swap sumps between the 2.

I just happen to have a RB20DET from a GTS4 sitting on the garage floor (in Melbourne). PM me if you are interested.

I had one let go, but only because it blew a water hose.

I've had a ring-land go, big time (on another RB20DET, not the one I offered you). Chunk of piston hit the end of the sparkplug and shut the gap right down, then shot peened the combustion chamber and top of the piston. Broke a ring, and bent it upwards. Engine ran on 5, sounded like a chaff cutter. Amazingly, the bore is still perfect.

And how did you's run on the 5 cylinders? Much smoke out of exhaust? Mine blows abit when u free rev it some times... the radiator israther bubbley..

Hey mate, I have a R32 GTS4 motor sitting in my garage, it has the head off of it, comes with front diff, basically consists of:

block with pistons in it

head complete

plenum

coilpack and injectors

I am in Brisbane also. I am moving interstate in a few weeks so I want it gone. I have it advertised in the forsale section but am quite neg on that price. pm me if you are interested.

Did a comp test on the motor today, #1 is holding 50psi, which is not a very good sign, so its time for replacement pistons.

gts4diehard: Cheers buddy, but ive got a spare rb20det block sitting here, gonna replace damaged pistons, put in new rings, and bearings also.

Thanks for the help guys.... will let you's know how i got next weekend when it gets ripped apart...

PS: I moved away from mitsubishi's hoping i wouldn't have to touch motors again... little did i know.. nissans are just as bad.. hehehe..jks..

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
