I wonder whats the highest a GTST has run without needing an engine rebuild. One that has been looked after. Hopefully there is one with 300,000 kms =p

But there probably is, because most of them are wound back in Japan hence, we might be sitting on 200,000 instead.

Just clicked over 153,000. Had 67,000 when we bought it.

Daily driver = yes.

*edit - I intend to put another 6km on it at the drags next Sunday as per last time. We did 24 runs last time without a hitch. Do oil and filter every 5000 etc though*

Sambo - that was unfortunate , from when you go the car was it like that?  Did it blow a bit of smoke.  Mine doesn't use anything in 6000kms so I guess mine is ok ...

the problem came with the car, it just gradually got worse in the last 5000ks, i really should have been more thorough when inspecting the mechanical areas.

yep it blew loads of smoke at high rpm, also under serious loads i could fill an 800ml catch-can up in about 60 seconds. oh well... now i can do some track/drag days without worrying about my engine spitting it ;)

    • No need to replace the cover if it is still intact (not worn through). It would be worth checking the balancer for matching marks on the rear, but I'd assume the balancer was loose at some stage. The cam timing marks look fine, once you put the new belt on you can only be right or a full tooth out
    • Disconnecting rods! must have been an unpleasant surprise...
    • So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR
    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
