Yer oil dipstick popped out too much pressure in crankcase.
Not sure to why i had so much pressure to do that. But to fix the problem and do happy track dayz i think i need a catch can, larger sump, baffle kit for sump n cam cover, oil restrictor Maybe even a oil accumulator on top.
Then it might hit the track again but for now ill keep it straight drag pass.

Did loose about 4ltrs of oil from 6 hardly touching the dipstick that how known something went wrong as i was going up the shecane at 6k to 8k rpm i look down n noticed oil pressure at 2kgcm2..... at that point my car seat had me by the balls.
No knocking but at idle in gear lift the clutch put load on engine makes a small squeaking sound n crank pully has very slight movement . So thrust bearing has worn too much. :(

Sure it hasnt cracked a piston and uv had excessive blow by?

I bloody hope not but i think i might put a borescope on my to do list.

As for me day dreaming of a rebuild stroker kit money can buy a 2.8 or get a rb30 and same money buys a 3.2 or 3.4 [emoji57]
Now my biggest problem is finding time to wipe my own ass.
Got another baby 11mths apart
Happy dayz happy dayz [emoji6]

Mine cracked 4 ring lands and was not visible from above and spark plugs looked normal. The one piston that cracked from rings touching would barely be visible from above but the spark plug always looked oily

30 is not same money. So much small shit has to be changed for the extra height you never think about. As someone who has done it, the torque is awesome, the initial install is far more involved than just bolting it in and Then you have the rego issues.

The 2.8 is less of a headache, it's still a 26 as far as rego care and everything that unbolted just bolts back up. If you have the time/money and want the 3.2/3.4 then yes, it's awesome but don't expect it to be as quick to do or the same cost.

Man, I was smashed after yesterday. It was loooooong!

I am hearing that!

After you left yesterday, we got stuck into the cake, and before we knew it, finished the glaze just before 11pm

The dog still hadn't moved as of 6.30am this morning.

Yeah i was only thinking of the stroker kit only.
Isn't the height change the only problem was thinking that hypertune now make a low profile rocker covers.

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
