Crank bearings - safe mileage

Hello,

 

I have rebuild my engine some time ago in R33 GTR and done already 60 000km putting new nominal crankshaft and ACl bearings. I was visiting lately one drift shop with lots of experience in Rb26 engines. They say its already time to change the bearings cuz they like to spun. True or not true and when to change them? I am using my car for daily driving and 2-3 times track days a year. Can i go up to 100 000km without any fears or should i change them now.?

That's right, a spun bearing will be the result of a bad build, lack of proper maintenance or oil starvation. Your bearings should be fine, just keep maintenance up and be sure you aren't losing oil pressure at the track due to oil surge.

ok, ok, thanks for advices. But i really didint get the answer to my question. What is the safe milage for the bearings since you can not use them for ever... 

There is no answer...they might last 300,000 or not. Just keep an eye on your oil pressure and learn what worn bottom end sounds like.

    • How much is it to re-uploster?  Well that's a "how longs a piece of string?" question !  And I answer thusly: "twice half its length! " . . . . . .  Seriously you'll have to chase multiple quotes for that one from different uphlostrerereres !  Ask around, in your area and on the forums, chase reviews and most of all see the finished product in person cause photoshop is a wonderful thing !
    • Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾 
    • Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.  
    • Oh and how is the rattle when foot is on the clutch ?
    • Did you get the sport or track ? From what the documentation says the uniclutch has a small amount of movement to disengage.  So your story of tricky pedal setup seems common.    Hopefully you got it bled up too, as the bite point moving around is usually either plates wearing in or air in the line.
