33NIZ,

When u say u threw a rod did u actually punch it out the side od the block? U said u've had ya car for less than a month so i assume it was pretty standard, for a standar RB too pick up a bearing and punch a rod out is almost unheard of! What were u rev'ing it too? Did u remember to put oil in it?!?! (jk )

[Nismo_Boy]

Mick.. It throw it out. Left a nice nugget sitting on the track.

[MicK51]

wow thats pretty crazy, got any pics?

is there much damage to the head?

throwing a rod is almost the absolute worst thing that could happen!!! any idea's what caused it?

the bottom end was standard running 1.3bar, pushing in excess of 400hp. It threw the rod out the block reving at a max of 7500...dunno what happend. Just to much for a stock bottom end, I guess.

Yeah. The bottom end was stock but thats about it.

It was making 380hp@wheels on 1 bar @6800rpm so at 1.3bar and 7500rpm it had to be pushing easily in low-mid 400s.

Anything over 400 at the wheels is meant to be a matter of time with the stock bottom ends. Just unlucky you didn't get to do some times before it let go :whatsthat

[MicK51]

Oh i see, so what sort of mods have u done?

big turbo, fuel system, computer, front mount, exhaust?

i guess if u were pushing that much boost and power u were expecting it to give way reasonably quickly.

I suggest a nice phat 3L bottom end, loads of torque and would probably work out cheaper!

Hey

i went okay in my 1st run, got a 12.37 which wasnt bad for a 1st timer. stuffed up my 2nd run.hopefully if the weather holds out i'll be there again sat to have few more goes.

major mods are as follows: HKS 3037 turbo, HKS manifold and 55mm ex gate, Greddy plenum, Tomei Cams, Nismo (750cc assuming) injectors, GTR fuel pump, Fconv computer, 110mm drag trust cooler...thats basicly the major engine mods, it was running a stock bottom end and hence why it's let go, just really sucks about the timing. From what I've heard 3L is the way to go, can anyone suggest somwhere to do the build? I know its a good/bad rep for any shop but its interesting to hear what ppl have to say none the less (in regard to building rb's and especially rb30 motors).

Cheers Matt

last owner must have driven it a bit like a granny then..

sounds like some fun though once it is all finished.

«Cyph3r» was the last owner... When it did come out (read not often) it was driven soft...

saw your car there too, looked very nice. It's the one with the leather recaros? I didnt get a chance to see you run, as after I threw a rod, by the time I got back to the stands most of the runs had stopped. Not a bad effort for you first time at the track and is by far a better effort than the one that I put forth. GL on saturday and let us know what you run.

Yep.... everyone calls me nanna :Paranoid:

I just ran 1bar all the time and didn't see limiter regularly....

i'm guessing it was just the extra power that killed it :warning:

I feel pretty bad about it happening so soon after you bought it. :Oops:

At least its an excuse to do a 3L or forged bottom end 25 :aroused:
