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.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
