hey all

looking like the best way around my problems is going to be to just replace the motor,

here some pics for you all from my engine !

Try the guy wrecking a series 2 manual in the stagea for sale section

thought the engines are the same, just the sump is modded for the front diff, just like the rb26, you just replace the sump and its just a normal engine, i didnt know there was a awd block, just thought there was a awd sump

yeah or you can get factory oversized pistons

on the others it should have a 1 or a 2 stamped into the top of the piston

that will be the size that that bore was honed to at the factory

dunno if you have to go bigger if you hone tho

if i hone back the engine... ill have to go bigger pistons correct?

is there anyway i can use a 2nd hand piston??

No

Only go bigger pistons if you "bore" (machine) the block from 86mm to either 86.5mm or 87mm max

Hone is just sort of like sanding it, so you will keep the same size piston, but usually fit new rings.

You could use a second hand piston. It will have to be from a "neo" engine as they are different to R33's etc.

With the mess you have in that cyinder, I would b3 stripping the entire block to flash out any foriegn metal particals etc.

Otherwise you will get it all back togather and have problems later.

With the amount of problems you are YET to face and lack of experience, I would suggest finding a complete long motor and move on.

ive kinda sources a 26 and box but i would also like to get this back on the go aswell.

i wont be doing any engine work as such, just re assembling it

i will take this engine out. get it honed back where needed.. drop a 2nd hand piston and new rings in and hope for the best

is it true the rings are 300 a set?

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
