Sure, the loading goes up emensley (spelling

) with the extra rpm, double the rpm you have aprox 8 times the load so even an extra 500rpm is alot more load.

I'm not sure what maintainence schedule he may have in mind (his is a solid block, drag race only motor) but I havn't touched the 240z motor since it went together and its been abused for testing.

We have 8000-8500rpm 800hp road race engines doing 2-3 seasons on a set of bearings so its not as bad as some of you may think.

On a road going vehicle I would imagine at least around 50,000 miles, and thats giving it some on most occasions. I would be surprised if it didn't return that at the very least!! Bearing in mind that the regular maintenance isn't skipped. I'me looking at double that figure with religious oil and filter changes.

100,000 miles for a 700-800hp engine is a huge ask, I would expect 30-40,000 miles would be a good time for a refresh, no point in running the motor till its worn out, best to grab it while its still able to have a basic refresh.
Best thing to do is keep an eye on the oil filters (cut them open) at each change and see whats going on in there.

Sorry what i meant to ask you was how many of your engines have forged cranks

None, as a stock one is more than up to the task of coping with the engines we have done.

Are not standard RB cranks forged ?

Oh I was just updating my resume and what do you know, it says I can spell.......

Rob your car is not the fastest Jap road registered car in NZ @162mph ....

Mines been radar gunned at over 300kph ....

I dought that Glen, we arn't talking a 5 k run up here, maybe 260-270kph with a 1 k run up, Ive done the same test in an almost exact same powered GTR.

My turn for a dig

Great. Another very interesting build thread that's been turned into a willy-waggling contest.

Perhaps we should have a 'My knob is bigger than yours' forum, and then maybe we can keep on topic...

pupsi, if I were you, I'd ask a Mod with a broom to clean things up

Dynamix · 9th April 2008, 12:01 PM

It seem to always be the same people and always in a r.i.ps thread, funny that?

R.I.P.S NZ · 9th April 2008, 08:05 PM

Seems our poor Glen has nothing better to do than dig at things he can only dream of doing.

Besides, what your saying can't possibly be true, the 'lovely stickers' you have on your car have not only devalued it dramaticly, they would surely fall off at anything over 200kph.

No more Glen, time to leave threads alone and let people, who are trying to share info people are actually interested in, to get on with it in piece.

GT-R Glenn · 10th April 2008, 06:44 AM

C'mon Rob I dont dream about drag racing lol ....
Circuit racing is much more challenging.
I have lots of hobbies, cars is only one of them.
And like I have said before , Croydons car is still the fastest "street Jap car" in NZ.
You can plaster slogans all over your post's in pomland where no one knows anything about NZ racing but C'mon man ....Have you forgotten ?

Im quite interested in most of what you guys are saying though.

Mate those stickers are well stuck on , they didnt fall off over 200 ...
And they are pretty easy to take off with a heat gun , if and when I get around to needing / wanting to.
I never mentioned the run up for the flying 1/4 , but Thames Valley car club run it every year .......feel free to have a go.
Its a 1k run up ....
No doubt you can set a new world record ?
