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 :P)

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

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!

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

Hey NIZ33 sorry bout last nite aye, u car looked nice as !!! i'd love to see it down the 1/4 !! i hope ur repairs not gona be tooo expensive.

nick

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.

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

sounds like some fun though once it is all finished.

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:

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
