ok, excuse me for sounding f**kING PISSED OFF during this post!!

After many months of my motor rebuild they finally started it today..

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN!!

I havent heard it myself but the descripting i was givin was "It sounds like a train, like there is a block of metal inside a cyclinder"

Does anybody know what this noise could be?????

ps. No I wont be paying a single cent for the rebuild.

pps. The description of the noise was from the guys that put the motor in, not from the wankers that built it!

HELP please.... I want to know which mechanic to knock out!

Engine specs:

Arias 86.5Mil pistons

rev rods

33 gtr crank

acl race bearings

tomie poncams 9mil lift

umm.. i havent heard it myself but from the description, its more of a deeper noise.. but i will have to check...

i just called somebody else and was told to check oil pressure, head clearences, and timing (set to base- 15deg)

car also has stock injectors, splitfire coilpacks and new spark plugs

well the builders have already snapped my tomei inlet cam before, (i had to buy a new one) so the guys with the motor are now checking that they havent snapped it again.

no matter how big or small the problem is, it will be going to another engine builder... probly gavin woods. or somebody with a very good rep.

what sux the most is i have now missed out on buying a home cuz i cant sell my car for the loan..

so it runs????

You need a more specific explanation for anyone to take a real educated guess at what it could be!!! As Troy said its a simple piston engine same design as a holden six in principle it wont be anything someone with an idea shouldnt be able to diagnose in a few seconds!!!

we can all sit here and guess all day and no-one will know the correct answer without taking a guess and you spending the $$$ to find out anyhow.

best bet, take the car back and get it looked at by a professional as no-one here can tell you without seeing the car

its currently being diagnosed as we type.

i just started this thread cuz ide like to be a few steps infront of the guys that built it... i just dont trust them anymore and want to be able to catch them out if they try blaming the guys that installed it or if he makes up some other bullcrap excuse..

thanks,

the noise is slowely going away... and everything is fine...

im not sure what it is as im not a mechanic.. but its getting quieter now, and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it...

wonder what the noise was? any ideas?

its just a little lumpier because of the cams.

i have been told to pick it up tomorrow, he just wants to make sure everything is tight again, and tripple check everything before it goes....

I have to wonder why you picked people to work on your car who seemingly have NFI what they are doing.

I find these finger pointing type threads quite amusing, especially the ones where said accuser ends up looking like an asshat.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
