R32 Rb26dett Crank Coller Issue

[BlackRBS13]

I was reading on some other boards that there is an issue with the R32 RB26DETT crank coller that kills motors. Just wondering if anyone has any information on this as I am about to buy a 26 and am wondering if it is worth the extra cash to make sure i get an r33.

I think its an issue with the lack of collar, the oil pump drive/end of the crank dosen't engage the oil pump fully which results in problems. The JUN collar fixes this, but its a big job (motor,crank out!)

its not motor/crank out at all.

can be done without that

If you can get the R33 motor, do that.

The nose of the Crank has to be machined for the JUN pump drive.

didnt proengines say that he fitted one on the car?

or am i mistaken?

You are mistaken. Having just had one done at Pro Engines, it is definately a crank out job. The nose of the crank needs to be machined down, the collar is then pressed on and grub-screwed for a bit of extra security

Yep... been there done that...
