Hey my mate recently blew up his R33 engine. Noting the basics its a Rb25 block, GTR crank, GTR rods and 92mm pistons. Anyhow when he took the pistons out there was a cutout up the side of the piston and when u look down the cylinder bore from the top where the head would normally sit there is a squirter nozzle there which appears to squirt oil onto the underside of the piston. My question being, is this a standard item on RB engines? We havent seen inside one b4 so wouldnt have a clue. The cutout in the piston is on the same side as the oil squirter like its been cut out to clear the nozzle? Anyone got ideas?

yes as said b4 they are std in most nissan engines due too japan having the knowledge that you cant get enuff lubrication .....

the oil squirters are for bore lubrication on the thrust side due too the high friction point of the bore just too add an increase of less friction ...if you know what i mean ...

i was glad that my engine had them due too my after market rods having no oil squirter through the centre of the rod so the oil squirters will do the work ....

hope i was of help ...

The oil squirters are for piston crown cooling. The rod squirters are for bore lubrication. It is interesting that many aftermarket forged rods dont bother with the bore lubrication holes, not even cut outs on the thrust face of the big end, as some other manufacturers do. Argo are one such company I've enquired about this. They said they have never had any failures attributable to no bore lubrication. Obviously the cloud of oil mist in the sump normally must provide adequate lubrication for this, although it then raises the issue as to why OEM manufacturers bother with it.

hehe i do get you mate, but the angle of my oil squirters do not meet the angle too the piston ..... im saying that oil squirters may also be there for a dual perpose too also lubricate the bore as well my squirters are not on a 90 degree angle but about 35 degree there for when the piston is at top dead center it would lubric8 the bore then when piston comes down near bottom dead center they would cool the piston crown...... get me ....

im not in for a debate im just telling you that not all squirters are the same,

im not just a young enthusiest mate im an engineer as well .

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.

      I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
