Yep that unfortunately looks like it, as everything else has been done without taking the engine apart and everything looks fine, all timing was re-checked yet again to no surprise it was fine and I wish it was the timing that would be an easy fix but putting even half a degree in and the engine will prob shoot a piston out the bonnet :nyaanyaa:

edit:

when this engine is stripped for the 3rd time a full report will be done on the teardown just so the original engine builder can be told and shown by a 3rd party

Reading this entire thread makes you just shake your head, really it does.

Seriously but, how the fck did you come to the conclusion that the rings are upside down without even having the head off? Why are your compression tests totally different from one another? Why did you oil squirters snap off the first time? Did the same person rebuild this motor?

If this was an engine builder he would be out of business, end of story.

I think someone else here had a go at building there own motor personally, and the whole thing has ended up in a shit heap.

Best of luck building it the 3rd time lol.

First off cool story bro and if you can come up with a suggestion without pulling the head off speak now or forever shut up.

I didn't come to the conclusion a tuner/ builder and another highly recognized tuner (obvious reasons I'm not mentioning business names or tuners) came to the conclusion and with a problem that shows no obvious signs of what can be the problem, and every test to try and find the problem without taking the head off, my guess is your answer if this problem was presented to you is "it's fckd mate".

The reason for the tests is because if you have any idea (which you don't) is not to void warranty/ liability with the business that built the motor (and yes it was sent back to the original builder).

As for being out of business for a returned service/ product "end of story" every business in Australia...wait...the world would be out of business by your belief, and your "thinking" I'm shocked that you can put one foot in front of another each morning.

A number of reasons can pull different results, changing weather, cold/ hot, different gauges...etc.....far out I just realized why am I arguing with an idiot no one will know the difference >_<.

:thanks:

Firstly, Im not your "bro". Lets get that out of the way.

Secondly, your calling me an idiot? Do you want to know how many times I have rebuilt my motor?

Once.

That's right, I did it once the first time and I did it right, and it was a hybrid 30/26. I remember reading your other thread about oil squirters snapping off and thinking what the fck has happend there, so going back to my original question, did you take it back to the same builder? If so your dumb.

Different gauges is not an excuse as to why you had a compression test and recieved totally different results. I mean where not talking a few PSI difference here, you literally went from one extreme to another which is just not possible regardless of the type of gauge, hot day, you name it. I mean why would you be using different gauges anyway? You would use the same comp gauge each time to maintain consistancy.

If your an engine builder, and you do this for a living, you don't put rings in upside down. It's the most basic point of call and generally not something that is mucked up, even then it would not explain why you have massive inconsistencies in your comp results. I won't bother explaining why this is so because you most likely won't understand anyway.

In short, your an idiot.

Good day.

Another cool story bro, you keep doing this we will become bff :teehee:

The reason for not explaining is because you can't, come on oh great engine builder that doesn't get anything wrong. Here's something to comprehend nimrod thousands of people develop and test a multitude of various gadgets and gizmos to help people and I bet when there making these things they think the same thing this can't/ won't go wrong...then it happens, you do something a million times over odds suggest YOU WILL GET IT WRONG AT LEAST ONCE look it up BRO that my friend is basic and because you can't comprehend that makes you such idiot.

Basic trade law interpretated says any business that either provides service or product can ask to have said service re-done free of charge or product send back for refund or replacement within reason and if failed a second time can be charged (relating to service) the fee from someone else to have the work done again, which is provided that the work done second time around fails is because of them (the engine builder).

So in short remember breathe in then breathe out as you will die if this is not repeated through your life and putting one foot in front another will lead you to a long walk off a short cliff and provide many lulz (at your expense)

You've made your point buddy, but unfortunately when you rock up with all the expertise in the world and spout this cynical shit at the OP because you think you're oh so great, you're let down by the fact you've contributed 56 posts in a touch over 3 years to this lovely forum. Given your previous posts in this thread, I'd say there's a good chance you're saying what you are due to having heard someone else say it in the past.

I'm sorry but it's just so rich to go putting bold text for sarcastic emphasis into your post, yet boast such a low contribution...

Even if someone is an idiot or completely wrong (not saying anyone here is) there's no need to get in a huff and feel the need to bring their rep down, can go about these things in a more civil mature manner that way everyone learns something.

I am the OP and champ with the name Trozzle coming into my thread speaking of contribution of 56 posts in a touch over 3 years and all your posts (give or take being useless entries as that is what a troll does) thats a bit rich coming from you as all your valid posts would equal mine...maybe hahaha....Are you positively annoyed friend?

I (and everyone else involved with my engine) would love to be wrong on this then the engine wouldn't need to taken apart, and which is why I posted this in case anyone else has the same problem in the future.

As for the negative rep, you can't help that people read something on a forum and just have the need to neg something because they can even if it's non-related to them, I haven't neg'd any post in my thread.........yet

It's all in your attitude buddy :) wake up and realise you're nothing in the grand scheme of things, might help with getting off your high horse.

The view is good from up here, how is it in the ditch :whistling:

Either way still post up what was wrong, once you have found out.

U sure you don't have one of these: Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) engines

Just a small joke, go on have a little chuckle. And i completely agree with you about warranty and taking it back to original mechanic/builder.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
