Hey guys,

I'm looking at buyer an R34 GTR at the moment.

The owner has blowned the engine before by putting more than 25psi boost on the standard engine and turbo, resulting in snapping the crankshaft (does that sound right?) . What usually happens when you snap the crankshaft? what other parts does it damage?

Anyways, the engine has been rebuilt using : 'bottom end are: standard nissan crank shaft, scat h beam conrods and je forged pistons with rings'

now i am planning to mod it to about 300-350kw. Will the standard crank shaft be strong enough? and i tried googling scat H-beams and i cant find infomation about it...so has anyone had any experience or heard anything about these rods?

the engine was also rebuilt was done in a small town by a local mechanic. so i am skeptical about the build. The mechanic has basically told me he has rebuilt the engine and the car is just running factory power, becuase the owner doesnt know much about cars.

the price is really good, so im tempted to buy it

let me know what you guys think

thanks guys :thumbsup:

im quite sure that there must have been other propblems, ive seen people run 700+ horses on the standard crank. (nothing modded or changed either)

just make sure that the block is in good condition and same goes for the head. which is a bit of a hard thing to check. but i doubt they would rebuild it with a crap block/head anyways

Yeh im hoping the block and head were fine after the engine went bang. Im not sure how to check that but i will bring it to a mechanic and get the whole car checked out before i buy it.

Has anyone heard of Scat H-beam conrods? i want to know if they are any good. are they cheap?

cheers

check them out, and i really doubt that any aftermarket forged items would be crap... just saying :)

main thing to check i guess would be smoke from any oil problems, valve seals, scrapes inside of block etc.

highly doubt they wouldnt get it re honed or bored/fixed while they rebuilt it.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By eli995 · Posted

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?

      From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.

      OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
