Hey,

i have a r32 gtr with a r33 rb26 thats fully worked that was rebuilt no more then 20 thousand ks ago.

i was driving it home 2 days ago and just as i drove in my drive way it started making a ticking/knocking noise.

does this sound like a spun bearing??

if so what could have caused this so soon after a rebuild? i got it compression tested 2 weeks ago and came back perfect then this happens??

my race bred sounds like a tractor...

So.....who built it? What is done to it? Possibilities of failure are semi endless, incorrect assembly, incorrect clearances, losing oil pressure etc. Need to pull it down to have a look.

when u take the engine out, take off the head and throw the entire bottom end straight into the tip because pretty much none of it will be salvagable with that load a knocking

Sounds horribly like a spun bearing alright. Had one myself not long ago. I'm happy to come and have a listen close up just to confirm it if you like, I'm in coorparoo, but don't drive the thing over. Don't drive it at all. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to come and have a look.

Did you follow the run in procedure set by the mechanic?

Run in?

meh, bed it on the dyno, tune it up. If its put together right thats all it should need

Either way, its beyond dead. crank and everything no doubt to the recycling mill :P

and ye, endless possibilities as to what could have killed it. The list is long

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
