Otay, question...

I have 1 X R33 GTS-T S1, off the rd for past 18 mths, had a blow by and hence ruined #1 piston. Only gear on the machine was FMIC, Zorst, BOV, and Air Filter...I now have a set of Wiseco forged pistons std size as I have been informed that there was NO bore damage. I want to know, who in Sydney is going to do an AFFORDABLE but decent job of putting the pistons in, cleaning it up and getting the damn thing going again? I have only the std turbo and computer, dont want anything different yet. Suggestions on who, guesses on how much I'm looking at to get it done???

Okay but are they expensive?? I'm not being a tight arse but really just want the car fixed so can I sell it.

Ask Brendan (B-Man) about his experience with the rebuild at UAS, then give UAS a call to find out what they charge.

I got recommended a place that does 1000hp engines for those high speed bridge to bridge water ski race boats. From what i've been told they are very good and have a lot of experience building engines. I think you have to remove the engine from the car yourself and drop if off there.

If you want more info I can ask.

sure, talk to Steve over at Just Jap, mine was less turbo and flywheel (since it came from an auto), no puter. you of course do not end up with a freshly rebuilt engine, but that may not be much of a problem when you are selling it.

not sure at this stage, our race team has a deal with them. However, others on here (eg Fatz, Blitz) have used them for other mechanical work and found them very competitive, I'd suggest giving them a call on monday

Why are you putting forged pistons in an engine that is just going to be put back in to be sold ??

Sell the forgies, Buy a second hand engine and replace - you will get better value that way.

Have you got a quote from UAS for the work ?? Why do you think they are expensive ??

Yeah Just Jap & Give Nath a call - he's a good bloke.

Sorry to be off topic but I didnt wanna start a whole new thread, and Z32 has the same blow by problem. Well here goes:

My car had a really bad case of Blow By where it was smoking (bluish) out the exhaust at anything past 4000RPM and a fair bit too, cause I would look in my rear view and the cars behind are engulphed in it, and there was oil seeping out of the boost controller.

I ran it for around 1000kms really easily (nothing over 3000rpm) and it seems to run really really smooth now, no smoke any more even to 6000rpm, I was contemplating doing something about it, but should I bother now?

Dezert you lucky prick, mine was the same and I could still drive it however I didnt think it was going to last too bloody long, I had EXACTLY the same happen, bluish smoke at anything over 4K etc, but WHEN mine blew initially, I stopped and opened bonnet the disptick had blown out of the tube, there was oil fu(king everywhere, there appeared to be a crack in a manifold somewhere as there was an enormous "shhhhhhhhhhhhh" noise that increased in volume with rev's, there was a rubber pipe split form a sensor, don't know which sensor though, driver side and basically small black boc couple of inches all round on the firewall...drove for two days afterwards, from Penrith into the city and back then Penrith to Kurrajong and it BARELY made it, so pulled it apart and ready to do something about it now :-)

Well not exactly Dez, getting a bottom end and throwing the head, turby, computer etc on to it and then down the track going to slowly rebuild the bottom end of my old motor and slowly just buy all the bits and pieces, build it right up, then rip out the crappy engine and throw the beastly one in anyways that's the plan :-)

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
