WELL HERE WE GO....

Bought GTR

After 3 months Motor went Bang, cracking pistons, shattering valves, it did a really good job.

Fully rebuilt engine, decided to leave standard turbos because yolo (just for the run in stage, kesh was low)

On the way home from Full rebuild running the engine in and not boosting it i spat exhaust wheel of one of my turbos out my exhaust.

Got new turbos

AFM died on the way home.

finished run in

TPS died on the dyno

Fixed TPS

Split a rad hose

Fixed hose

ran for a while

Lost half my oil

Fixed everything again all is running better than ever!!!

until.

Got shit fuel two weeks ago and was misfiring on 14psi...

Cracked the shits, Haltech, no AFM, and E85

what will go next?

Bought and installed brand new sard 540cc twin spray injectors, came in as a kit specifically for rb25, they are white

Engine ran rough, also sounded like Wrx throughout the entire rev range

Tried trouble shooting think one may be faulty, bought a spare injector and still the same

New owner put it into a 2jz aristo, punched the numbers in ecu, fired up, all silky smooth... They're a waste of time on skylines but fine on toyotas

Sard 550 reds were good in my old car

Hi Anthony

Made my eyes water :(

Seems I need to post a TLDR version here.

Will maybe write it out if I can remember it all

Had car for 7 years

is a daily (lol)

Done 27,000kms total in 7 years

This car is on

its 2nd chassis

its 5th engine (and third rebuild)

its 9th fuel pump

its 2nd diff (and set of axles!)

its 3rd set of suspension

its 4th? transmission

its 3rd ECU

its 3rd turbo

its 3rd (sort of) manifold

its 3rd fuel tank

its 4th set of tyres (in 27,000kms?)

its 3rd set of brakes (as in set of front calipers, discs)

its 3rd exhaust

as you can imagine, the non TLDR version of this is very long

..and still going

  • Like 4

Holy Shit !

Hope you like working 3 jobs. :3some: to pay for this lot?

I take it you also track the car or you would be in jail by now going through that lot on the road :woot: or do you run sly grog :pirate:

Is it still your DD, got some pics?

Wow Greg that is true dedication! Out curiosity, have you worked out total cost of ownership ($ per km)? I've got mine for this and the previous car and they ain't pretty...

All the kms done were cruising kms below the speed limit, off boost. Well not all, but relative to most people on SAU I really do drive like a grandpa.

I'd like to take it to the track one day, but the car has never been working.

It is currently sitting at an engine builder shop, with the engine entirely dis-assembled.

As for $ per KM, it's certainly somewhere around $2

$2 a KM , haha that would stop you going to the shop for an ice cream :woot:

If what you say is true (bullshit I think) I would change mechanics , maybe you are using a carpet layer to do this work for you or :pirate: ,LOL

  • 3 weeks later...

But you have more money than sense:)

How come you have not got it right by now, 5 motors???

If mine is not as I want it , I will be sooooo pissed off :(

But I am sure it will be and then some :)

  • 2 weeks later...

I'd like to put in my $0.02c and suggest.. the f**king silver dash. I mean seriously. Half the interior photos and sale threads et al have it, and it's infuriating. My car is also tarred with this.

Why yes, I did let my kindergartener suggest and paint my interior!

...

As for $ per KM, it's certainly somewhere around $2

I'm currently sitting at $10 per KM hahahahahaha]

When this build is done I will be around $27 PK , only because I have not done a shit load of Klms

Whoa!

Ok so the Skyline's sitting at around $1.25/km and the Monaro was $1.90/km, all inclusive.

It doesn't sound that bad until you consider that at $2/km:

  • Melbourne to airport return costs $100 (50km)
  • Melbourne to Geelong return costs $300 (150km)
  • Melbourne to Sydney one way is $1,760 (880km)

Oh well, cars. But ouch.

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
