no ones killed an engine? i shouldn't really be surprised haha, toyota make 'em strong...
Hey guys, ive killed a few motors and so have most my mates, its always good to hear a good yarn like "i was givin her 10,000rpm and she let go"
post ur pics of ur dead motor and a story of its death...
i reckon there will be more nissans and everything other than toyota motors to fill the motor obituary
ive got a list but no pics at the moment coz im at my mates house but here's my list... (ill post pics soon)
R.I.P.-3K ke30- bush basher died in battle. too much valve bouncing and old oil
put a leg out of bed, push started her and drove it home still...
R.I.P.-rb30 r31- 350,000k's(odometer stopped working then) Turbo'd n/a with ice coffee oil(head gasket?) 16psi(1st turbo deceased) then 10psi(2nd turbo also deceased) went out with dead turbo and layed tread for a while, then she was knocking on heavens door so i (no) boosted home at 6000rpm followed by a large cloud of white smoke... eventualy spat a conrod 300mtrs away from my house, pushed it the rest of the way... went back and collected a couple of kilos of scrap (for the autopsy)
hope this inspires some good stories...

Haha i did exactly what you did except a CA20. Bought the car the same week i blew it up. Just spent the whole week thinking that it could handle the same thrashing I gave my 4k, high rev clutch dumps etc. Then it started rattling on the M1. Turned around home and about 1/2 home threw the rod and a nice chunk of the block. Hahaha piece of shit engine it was.
i have killed two 4ages so far one small port and one big port, to be fair the bigport was on its way out when i got the car FOB from japland...
ae101 4agze - big end bearing SLAP SLAP SLAP
believe it or not it was still driving perfectly with no power loss/strange behaviour.
took it apart and noticed the bearing on no.3 was almost paper thin.
also pretty much fuxored a bigport 4age - ae82 twincam, first car, redline at least 5 times per day, need i say more. cars still kicking about somewhere though.
i actually killed a 4ac. turns out you shouldnt drive them like smallport 4ages. after i pulled it out of ae86, me and my mate decided to pull it apart. as we pulled the sump off, chunks of metal just fell out...
Blown up a 4ac doing 100km down the highway, no. 2 and 3 big ends decided to escape.
Blown up a 190rwkw 4agte we the boost line came off, and bore on no.2 exploded at Oran park
Stuffed the latest motor with melted pistons

thats kind of what happened to my gze but i dont know the full damage as the guy who is fixing it has been shut all christmas
cooked a fabulous 4ac from overheating the bastard after driving for 30 plus kms without coolant. It cooked the rings and and lost all compression, im surprised it lasted so long after it cooked the smell was horrible smelt like a mixture of burning diff oil and ass at the same time.
