Well actually, i KNOW from personal experience, that in my commodore (yes its not an sr) the big end bearings went on that, and before the motor died it made a knocking sound as you increased the revs and especially under load with the sound getting greater at heavier throttle. So yes, you do hear it at a certain rpm before the motor dies of course. The big end bearings can set your motors life short instantly, over very short time or could extend over a longer period of time depending on the severity of the damage to the bearings.

im my general opinion, there is always going to be a big letdown to these style of modifications ie something thats different. Cars are designed to be optimal from factory but can be improved by adding a fmic etc, but i'd just follow what others have done successfully as they have already experimented with it and have reported good results.

what happens if you only change the stock dump pipe and not the rest of the exhaust?

the R35 has gota be much more powerful why would people choose the 34 over it?

If you were giving it a good thrash just before it happened, its extremely highly likely its the bearings. Perhaps just look around on forums on here and boostcruising for someone who just wants to get rid of their sr, then all you have to do is take out the old one and put in the one you buy, then you have a whole motor sitting there for spares. I know my mate could have picked up a working ca for 150 im not sure on prices for the sr. But first thing you should do before you make any moves is get advice from a qualified mechanic and go from there.

If your in the brisbane area i can recommend some places, where abouts you located?
