Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Hey guy this is my story....
i bought my sx last year september for 32 000, had the car for a month spent abit on the motor to keep her running
Next thing i was messing aroung and my big ends went screwd up the conrod and crank
I took the crank to a specialist he said it fine cut her and gave it back.
During this time i bought a new head forr R2500 new arias pistons, rods and turbo from mr tubo

2000km all bearings went....
took the motor to Power motors they said i need a new crank..
They sleved the motor rebuilt it used arp studs on the mians and head studs

finaly got the car running 2months ago

Nice Work dude

Keep it up , getting ready for Japfest ?

Just got my EBC rotors today

darryl im ready for it but the car wont be finished

im having trouble with an oil leak on the return oil feed from the turbo. It seem as though it wont seal properly i am using the original return pipe. Iv tried gaskets gasket makers but it keeps on leaking from there, any advice?

here are sum picks of what i found the first time i opend my motor

Nico bearings- you really pulled a number on those hey! But looking good. Keep building.

Thats very specific....

lol, yeah i guess..

the reason im asking is that it always seems to be number 4 big-end that goes first..specially when driven hard.

lots of people around the world have in times past speculated that the ca18det has some sort of lubrication flaw causing this, i myself have twice on my original engine run number 4 big-end..
