Messed about with, driven hard and not looked after.
Strangely the others don't seem too bad. Seems as if only the front one has ended up squashed.
Ah ok not by my son then
He has only done 57 miles since he got it. He could not drive it hard as the turbo let go while in his garage as he let the revs drop.
After fitting 2 new turbos it smoked as it came onto boost.
Update. After a few weeks saving money and the engine is now rebuilt with Forged Rods and bored to 87. New cams and God knows what else.
It was totally knackered but he half expected it. So just cracked on with it.
However we are now stuck for a 61 pence O ring. Can't find one in the UK and no friendly sellers in the states state's who would sell it measure it and not bother shipping it....due to time delay. We just need the size really.
I don't suppose any of you engine builders know the size or any skyline fans have a spare oil tree they can measure the O ring.

That's the one we need... Or the sizes. I know it's 20mm I'd but that's it....

@ukracer have you tried nissan dealers? i have tried to get parts for my Toyota's before and found the main dealer could get imports parts and they knew what parts from UK cars fitted using a different code, and i have a bag of O rings just picked up from a garage clearance from an ex Caterpillar plant fitter so there maybe something in the bag.
Cheers chaps. Yes I have tried Nissan. Totally useless. All technical and parts go through their franchised dealers.
I have found the US and other suppliers who don't even ship for two days and as you say are very expensive on shipping but also quote long shipping,
As for the boxes of o rings. Thanks for the suggestion but I don't really want to gamble with a 5k engine. I know it fly's in the face of poo pooing the 15 quid shipping from the states but if they were quick it would not be so bad.
I have got one coming in 3 to 4 weeks but trying to get one sooner.
I just can't believe any of the GTR forums don't know the size of the damn o ring that's used...lol
Finally the franchise's are quoting 10 to 21 days. But get this minimum order quantity of 5. Amazing.

I'd have measured up and gone with a quality viton O-ring, you can get them to almost any measurement. As long as you allow enough section diameter for some crush (but not too much) it would have held oil pressure ad finitum.
Shame to hear about nissan, though. I bought a load of stuff from them for my SR20 rebuild and managed to get plenty things from them including valve lifters, shims, bearings, new oil pump, seals etc. Like you, I wanted OEM quality where it mattered.
I sometimes wonder what happened to my engine. I know a couple of years and owners later, someone removed the engine and made some very stupid decisions along the way, ending up with the garage owner scrapping the s14 chassis because the owner hadn't paid rent for 12 months. I wonder if the engine is still going somewhere, or it it was broke for parts... was built meticulously and made bombproof for drifting... was pretty upset to hear what happened to the chassis

I got sent this. Rule of thumb is that an o ring should be 25% thicker than the groove it sits in so as to give a good seal, so groove depth x1.25 is about right. Usually width minus depth is a good indicator.
SadlyOne thing I don't have is a set of snap gauges or telescopic bore gauges.,.yet. anyone recommend a reasonably priced set?

You should be able to measure anything you need for O-ring tolerances with a vernier caliper...
I hate "snap" telescopic gauges. They range from incredibly poor, to just ok. If you want to run tight mains and big end tolerances, tighter than 1 thou per 1"diameter, then you want something accurate to a tenth, and telescopic ones simply aren't good enough.

If you ordered an oil filter, would this come with it?
EDIT: Just seen the size, so the answer to my suggestion is....no.

Just purchased a set.....it's something I always need but don't have ...lol
I am not good enough to work to those tolerances anyway....
I am redirecting this thread as it's getting expensive..lol
RB26 and its had a lot of work like replacement pistons, forged rods, new cams. Rebore lots and lots of other parts etc but...you just can't know how good the runners are doing the mapping until after they finish and give you the bill anyway.
The current problem is the maps are unstable and whilst remapping for the second time another 600 quid they noticed oil in the water.
BUT they are adamant its not head gasket. They have mentioned a head mod to drill and sleeve the head and an oil cooler mod . Both of which they think it could be....but both cost around 650 quid.
So I am trying to sift the bull...... From the reality.
Is it possible to pressurise the engine with a dyed oil without running it or similar.
Any advice appreciated.
Did you do any RB26 engines?
