thought about spool and bc kits, but I dont know i think i read something way about bc getting their shit from china. spool, doesnt seem like many use them. Certain engine builders said hell no to spool, I willnt add names... although the price is tempting. Then again price isnt always indicative of quality as i have learned.

Nitto isnt exactly aussie made....its the same as BC, spool and the rest. Someone misinformed you there lol.

Eitherway it will be better then the standard crank. Rods and pistons are much of a muchness.

If the crank was linished after the first time then this has to be put down to to material in the engine (oil) still. Did you remove the oil gallery plugs in the engine and flush it out when you were cleaning it? You need to direct the pressure washer flow straight into those main galleries and block off each main bearing hole so it pressurises the other holes and blows any contaminants out. Chunks of metal/bearing material could have been left in the gallery and as soon as you had oil pressure again it pushed it straight back into the bearing shells where it came from.

That would be the most likely cause of the cam shitting itself too.

I'm sorry to say it but I think you just didn't clean it out well enough after last time.

Yea, hot tanked then everything removed and flushed with 3 gallons of mineral spirits through a pressure pump with each main bearing being plugged. 1000000000% sure it was cleaner than any factory job. I swear its like the more I take time to do shit right the worse shit f**ks up. All I can do at this point is laugh. maybe i just just roll the block around in some dirt and put the bearings it upside down (mains) and it will probably run just fine.

lol... I know how that feels, just don't think of the money involved, a little bit of denial is good sometimes.

Time to chuck an unopened JZ motor in, and boost it till she pops.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
