I brought a R33 GTR about two months ago. I noticed the A/C belt shredding so I got a leaver and pried the crank pulley back and foward and noticed alot of crank end float.

I had the motor stripped to notice crank thrust bearings have been half worn on one side only as well as a couple of spun main bearings.

Car made 450kw on 28 psi on e85 but the oil catch can used to fill up with oil and water every 1500kms

Motor was built about 10000 kms ago

Oil pump: Tomei

Sump: standard

Clutch: twin plate exedy

Oil return line from head to sump.

Need help what could have caused the problem and what mods to do this time to ensure this does not happen again.

Thanks guys

Tomei + standard sump is insanity. The oil pump gears on the Tomei pump are massive, I wouldn't be suprised if the increased flow from the pump drained the sump completely. http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/inf/pdf/22_ae_Letter.pdf

How often in terms of time?

I've argued this point before regarding after marker pumps and emptying a sump...

The reason why I reckon it's a load of rubbish in most cases is because generally there is a restrictor in the head that will match the flow of the pump.. Therefore the pump is going to hit it's pressure releif sooner due to more resriction and excess oil will drain back to the sump

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
