and neither his plenum or exhuast manifold will bolt to it, may as well just buy a r35 send it to HKS and demand 60 tonnes of downforce and a jazillion killawasps while there at it. dont stuff around trowelly, go hard or go home

oh, you guys were just kidding?

RIPS seemed really cheap and when I called them they were really nice, so I bought one of thier RB25\30s Long motors

Just arrived Yesterday Afternoon, should be good for Round 4 :)

Edit: Hey Jack, can you paint my rocker covers for me please? Need it done before Saturday!

f**k you, my car only just started and you're shoving in and RB25/30. You said you had bought a new engine, I was wondering why you went so damn quiet when I asked what it was...

Seriously, f**k you buddy.

So f**king jelly. f**k.

Here are some more pics of broken bits.

Piston #1, melted a bit and the top ring snapped into 3 bits.

Piston #1 on right with another OK piston for comparison.

Bearings in the Mains Girdle, this one, #6 was particularly hurt.

#2 Mains bearing, what looks to be a little uneven wear, I don't have the gear to measure it though.

Most of the mains bearings looked like this, except the middle thrust bearing.

Another mains bearing.

Another pic of #6, I've got no idea what the f**k happened here....

So yeah, that's a good $250 piston ruined by me being an asshole. All the other 5 are like perfect though, not really sure what to do with them... All the rods are perfect, the little end bearings are perfect. The cylinder walls are all OK, need a good hone and they'd be good to go. Except for #1, that's got a weird scratch in it, but it's below where the piston skirt is. Not really sure how that happened? It's hard to take a picture of though

I reckon all the bearings are hurt from oil surge problems from doing Sprints and Drifting with a stock sump.... 61 seconds around basky with a stock sump, doesn't love it!

I've got a new complete engine coming soon; I'll be nicer to this one.

If anyone has a RB25DET block or short motor lying around, let me know!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
