so paul has dissected my motor a while ago now, check the attached photos

worrying stuff!

The original builder did not clean the crank, hence one of the oil galleries got clogged up!

which explains the bearing issue!

Luckily everything else was able to be salvaged!

The water pump also started leaking as wasn't sealed correctly and im not even going to get started on the "extended sump"! in Pauls words "its the worst sump ive ever seen"

Original builder should stay away.. far away from ever attempting to build another 26 :spank:

SHIIIITTTT!

thats just disgusting how a business can take your money and do poor work!

atleast the cars in good hands now!

yeh mate.. Pauls showing it some much needed love :3some:

if all goes well, should have it back end of next week or week after

Just read the whole thread, looks like I missed alot of it...

If I was a betting man, i'd say that *********built your motor? I say that based on my own personal experience with an SR I had built by them many years ago...if im right, it would seem he still has no clue about putting Jap motors together...glad youre getting looked after, from all accounts your motor is in good hands, good luck with it mate.

You're sailing pretty close to the wind here champ.

I suggest you go and familiarize yourself with the forum rules before even 1 more post.

You guess... WRONG :P

ive put a few engines togther over the years but when it comes to high revving long crankshaft engines its best left to the guys who really know them inside out.

Red R build more RB's than anyone in this country and thats all they do. It was a simple choice to make when i decided to throw some big bucks at my current engine.

What a story, just read the whole thing.

Just goes to show that there is no substitute for experience. Good to see how generous people can be in times of need.

Hope you get it all going again soon, it's a very tidy rig.

all the best mnate.

    • Which model Maxima? This is good knowledge to have.
    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
