....and once I get the problem Ill post in here :)

yes please, in particular oil pump and big end bearing condition. My guess is still on clearance problems causing pressure loss under load.

Put it on the dyno and see if it still drops pressure, will narrow down if its the Gs or some other issue.

Did you ever try this? It will very quickly sort out if it is an assembly problem, or a sump design issue.

I personally filled the sump with 6l as its the standard sump it still did it, so I am guessing it is oil pump issue but yeah wait and see I guess.

I suggested putting it on the dyno lol, not overfilling it.

Yes however you also said sump design which is standard hahaa. No we did not put it on the Dyno. I am just playing the waiting game hahaa lol.

Yep the standard sump might not be sufficient for the Gs you are pulling is what I was getting at, hence put it on the dyno and it will very quickly tell you if it is an issue with the sump, or an issue with the build.

So you never tried it on a dyno to determine if it was the oil pump or the Gs and stock sump?

: /

No we didn't, however some what glad we didn't. Found half a washer(looked like a washer) in the sump just floating about. If I would of upped it more and more I could have done more damage.

The crank so far looks good so there is no need to replace that yet.

I have gone by what Dan has said and he are still trying to diagnose the issue.

Pretty much what my number 6 looked like when it let go....

it had standard pistons running 285rwkw.

what generally causes the piston to break away like that... is it just cause they're weak? or is there other contributing factors?

    • Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂  
    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
