New Internals

[proRB88]

My R32 GTR has just shat itself and i think it's time to buy new internals, so if any1 out their has had this problem (i Know there should be a shit load of you) can you please tell me about whats good, and whats shit on the market. I want internals that will be able to take alot of power in the future with out the chance of damage, i hear good things about the HKS piston set.

So can any1 out their advice me on prices, brands, setup opptions, and if they no of any places that will be willing to give mates rates, and that will be willing ot install them.

Best Regards Vlad

It would also be good to know what failed so suggestions can be made to avoid furthur failures.

There's days worth of reading if you search and sift through past posts.

You also need to be more specific in what your plans are for the car. If you don't have firm plans and goals - then set yourself some and stick to them! Examples are:

* how long will you have the car?

* what will you use it for (drags, track, daily driver)?

* what is your budget?

Once you are clear in your own mind of the above then it is easy to set a realistic path to achieve the goals.

to be honest i really dont know, but a friend sugested that it was time for new internals, and i couldn't disagree with him, i know that i deff want to upgrade the turbos and convert it to a single turbo. but yeah

Let me re-do my answer to that question, well I’m willing to spend up to $6,000 (willing to spend more if the higher quality parts are worth the coin). I want to keep the car as long as it is in one peace.

I want to use the car as an every day driver, but still be able to have the power their when I need it or when I feel that 80km/h is far to slow. Like I said in my other response, when I decided that it’s time for my right foot to hit the floor I want to feel that feeling that you get when your about to take off in an air plain.

I think that should sum it up or do I have to be more specific???

Well, there's no such thing as a cheap and reliable RB rebuild. Given that aftermarket rods have also come down in price, I would factor those in the rebuild. So essentially looking at new pistons, rods, bearings, crank collar, machining, assembly and new fluids and service parts (gaskets, hoses, belts etc).

My "thumb suck" is that you should be allowing for around $6 to 8k including removal and fitting.

I'm assuming that you have some steel wheel terbs already fitted and that these are in good nick as is your clutch, gearbox, transfer case............you get the idea - welcome to the (expensive) world of GT-R ownership!

By that response it seems like you need a fully sick lancer with an ejecter seat triggered by the accelerator.

How about a power target?

How about not worrying about a fully sick stereo when talking about a rebuild.

Rebuild + big single turbo setup = a lot more than 6K !!!

How about be more specific with what you want, which may in turn give you more intellegent and helpful answers rather than this one, which is more a dig at a thread that is a waste of time.

When i bout the Car i was told that the turbos were the stock ones but re-built, the clutch was also replaced(dont ask with what coz i dont have a clue). but yeah, do you guys no of any good brands that you have used or currently useing that are up to the performance im after (the previose question that i re-wrote use that as a referance).

Sounds like you need just a basic pistons upgrade good for around 300-330rwkw. That would be heaps of power to give it a squirt when you want to but still keep it relatively ok for daily driving.

Now you need to add in $5k worth of support components to the $10k worth of engine internals.

[R31Nismoid]

350rwkw is beyond your budget by approx... $10,000

Is your motor even dead yet?

Good luck, your budget needs serious adjustment if you are targetting the power levels mentioned above.

I was just about to ask this also.

Before spending money based on "your mates" judgement, how about having your engine compression and leak-down tested to confirm if the motor is in fact on the way out.
