You let the Nissan out

Realistically, 300kw. Use it. Enjoy it. Potentially even use it again 😛

I know, and all I did for years was say NEO headstuds dis dat 400kW... hypocrite I am 😂

New goal, reliable 500kW.

Given we see 1000hp+ turbo LS stuff doing over 400 passes and over 20 thousand road k's , I don't see why not. 

At that power I'd call it reliable. 

All about how it's built and how it's used.

lol 500KW & reliable......

Go spend 100k and then tell me if you achieve reliability. Pls m8.

No thanks.

Rather go buy another investment property.

All about how its presented on Insta. The breakages get left out when you're trying to sell reliability.

Paint looks magic mate, good job!  Selenite is a Benz colour from memory? Goddam old car ownership can be frustrating!  Glad you’re giving it some love, hopefully she’s back on the road in no time!

When GT3 racecar manufacturers (Mclaren, Porsche, Acura, Nissan, many other mfg's) all have 500 HP engines lasting 60 hours of use time, or, 12,000km of use (I mean, its track kms though obviously) you know that if they could have made that more reliable... they would have - given they have a massive interest in doing so by having a more reliable motor than their competitors.

And they are not cheap cars, nor cheap engines...

But um... nah mate I have 1000kw for 8 years no breakdowns bruh #bulletproof

Since anything Japanese car related is stupid money have you thought of putting the BMW 335 motor and box it? 

At least it won't blow oil pumps and smash boxes lolol..

Good news, I've found another block too. Hopefully back on the road soon.

I found my old neo crank if it's any use to you send me a message, otherwise will put it up for sale. What a reasonable price for a crank in perfect condition came from a running 100,000km engine? Also have full set of pistons (who wants standard pistons though) and rods (same as RB26 so may be worth something,)

Crank is still a short nose crank, same as any other RB25 so not hugely sought after. If its in great condition is doesn't need a grind then maybe ~$200. If its got some gouges or enough where to warrant anything more than a links then the nitriding will be removed and I'd say its pretty worthless, 50 bucks maybe but more likely a bin job.

 

Pistons for the bin. 

 

Rods, these days probably not so popular anymore, people probably more likely to go with a set of Chinese forgies if they are building a cheap motor. Maybe $150?

Yeh this is the thing - a track car actually uses 500hp. If you have a car that once made 500kw on the dyno, but all you do is drive it 20kms to work everyday at under 3000rpm - you don't have a reliable 500kw car, you have a reliable 120kw car haha. And even then, you will probably still find yourself pulling it down before it ever gets close to 50,000kms. 

 

Nobody is jumping into their 160,000km-since-rebuild 500kw Skyline, driving it to the track and thrashing it for 3 hours, then driving it home. Nobody.

Has the replacement block been crack tested?

Will be soon, usual checks. If this one is also cracked I will have a sads.

See how I go, hopefully my old crank isn't cactus, if it is I'll message you 😊

 

And don't worry, I'll send the next motor too. Test and learn, worked out I need more crank vents and even smaller restrictors with an even larger sump. Next motor will last, I'm confident it will.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
