Dug up some old data prior to the motor blowing up. Managed to crack the 200km/h barrier down the main straight of Wakefield Park - this back up the car was making some decent power till it spat ring lands (we all knew it was going to happen).

Machinist should be back soon from his last minute holiday and I'll get the crank back then it's party time (maybe). 

I have a track day I'm running with Yez Racing guys so would be nice to have the car running. Let's see!

3x months later I've gotten my crank back, what an adventure with that shop. Not to mention they decided to charge me more as well, what arseholes.

Anyhow that aside, I've gotten my cam covers powder coated black because stealth is best.

Size?

Are they much lighter?

Went yalla habibi spec, 18x9.5 +22. Has some homosex 245 wide tyres, once the car is running again OR when I decide to put a motor and gearbox into it I will get the guards cut/reshaped to allow 265 semis to fit under the guards and look stock. No gay stretch no gay camber.

And funny enough, the Rays 57S aka Gram Lights are indeed lighter than the OEM GT-R wheels.

Pull your finger out and get cracking son. FYI, i have 18 x 9 +22 all round with 265/35. Fit good. Rear guards are rolled a bit, running -2 camber and front has unrolled +20mm fenders. With 265 on 9 inch there is about 5-7mm clearance to the upright.

Decided the block should be painted black, so it got painted black.

Also the stock pistons were given a clean, looking good.

So I decided to get new rings, new ACL race bearings, new ARP rod bolts, new ARP 2000 mains, Spool crank collar, Spool Billet N1 oil pump gears installed and lastly the OEM water/oil heat exchanger was deleted. 

Motor is still stock lol.

Special thanks goes to Matt at Redsun Motorsport & Mechanical for dealing with my bullshit and also pointing out some cock ups with a previous shop that did my crank collar install.

Spent part of Sunday going through my collection of nuts and bolts from last year. Not fun, also turns out the service manual doesn't tell you of bolt lengths to use lol.

Modified RWD pickup installed, one day this motor could go into a GTR lol.. 0.1L smaller but higher compression, has VCT, billet oil pump gears so it won't go bang!

Installed water pump, ancillary bracket as well as the alternator. Whilst installing the water pump with gasket maker I then rummaged through the box and found a gasket for it lol.. too bad so sad.

Another hiccup was that the Stagea engine mount brackets/arms are no good in the R33 so will need to source RWD ones. Then as I was installing the knock sensors followed by the OEM oil pressure sensor - I realised the NEO uses a different one so derp.. need a R33 one.

Worth redoing the water pump or you confident in the gasket maker? 

 

Nissan manual advises to use gasket maker, so should be on point. 

I really hate putting it together.

I have never used anything but gasket maker. The gasket looks like a piece of a4 paper cut roughly into the shape of a dick anyway, would much prefer liquid gasket

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
