The thread title is a bit misleading.

Move along. No news here. Do a half-assed tune of the car and expect to break it. (in this case, modifying timing/boost other variables while not ensuring the fuel system is taken care of with what it needs). It's not really Nissan's fault.

but it looks as if the AP Stage 2 tune was written for higher octane fuel than what is available in Lebanon, leading to detonation or pre-ignition that then caused the crank to break, sending rotating parts out through the aluminum block. The photos show a hole in the block and what appears to be a piston rod end protruding as well.
