I was actually thinking about that too. A sard rail (like the one you have) doesnt seem terribly expensive, and probably a good idea ?

yer they are about $400 i think for the sard one, and then u will need a fuel reg as well, around another $300ish i think (rough prices). dont wanna starve a 25k crate motor anytime soon :cool:

sump is also stock, worth an upgrade for sure.

Well, from what I can make out the Genesis doesn't come with any fuel rail at all; those ancilliaries are up to the end user to choose (the pictured engine a few posts ago is the Derive). Also the sump, whilst the OEM item, runs the Tomei baffle plates. See here*

* Note that its for the 2.6l variety of engines

Nah it wont be coming over anymore. TommyK has gone all old and boring, he has bought a house and is right at this second (im on the phone to him) is at the auctions looking to buy a falcon on gas.. auto.

Probably just reiterating what every one else said but just had a 2.8 stroker built using an new N1 block ( fully prepped) using all the same parts as a tomei derive 2.8 with 270/10.8 pro cams and ati pulley

Trust T517z 8.0cm dumps .Have only just run it in so will be interesting to see how it goes at 1.5bar.

What I am saying is you would be better off getting it built here - Quality is second to none. Better off for comeback also!

Bit hard if you had a problem but Tomei engines are also high end stuff - also if you add some optional extras like mine it would cost a lot more for the same thing from Japan .

Lots of good engine builders in Australia - its not rocket science.

Thats my 2c

Cheers

Hi

any more pictures for the engine and car?

where did you get all the job done?

GTAuto Garage in Brisbane did all the modifications to a very high professional standard.

Highly recommend them to anyone thats requires top notch work.

Would now not ever go anywhere else.

Alex,Dave,Dave and Tim are great guys to do business with.

Bringing back a very dead topic here, but as Tomei have the series 2 Genesis engine out now has anyone bought one or had any experiences with one? Basically they are more revised now and include virtually everything for a bolt in application, sump and all! RRP is $37,000 but RHD Japan have them for $19,500 delivered. I added up the cost of buying the individual parts included and came up with over $20,000 not including ANY labour for assembly.

Have you worked out the difference between the Series 1 and 2? There was a thread in GTROC and one of the photo's had a Tomei 2.8 photo. From what I can gather the difference is the crank.... I dont know what the differencees are. I have a Series 1 Tomei motor in mine and no problems.

Differences are:

conrods

crank

camshafts,

L19 rod bolts

Tomei head bolts/washers

Tomei main cap bolts

Tomei oil gallery orifice

Tomei timing belt

Tomei oversized oil pan with baffle

Tomei oversized oil pump

comes with spark plugs and Nismo thermostat.

So there are quite a few differences between the two, virtually every fastener is an upgraded item.

Yep Australian dollars. I think there might be a Tax or Tariff on it too, but i have bought goods to the value of $4000 from Japan and never got any extra taxed amount on it like your "supposed " to on any item/s over $1000.

^ aren't you lucky. Does not mean you'll be lucky again.

Especially considering it's not exactly small :(

It does not say specically that it is free to Australia - it says to check first.

Have you checked?

Also something else to think about, i remember a thread here or on another forum about a OS 3ltr that was purchased.

It was pulled down over here and found to be rather "average" in its assembly. So it was basically stripped and reassembled/rebuilt once it got over here.

Something else to think about.

I have a customer with a short on the way to his engine builder, should be real interesting. He went a bit crazy, Greddy T88GK, APEXI V-max spl (10000rpm kit) head kit (290degree 11.5 lift) full cnc porting etc... i cant wait to tune it ;)

Im not trying to say i will get away with no tax, i havn't had much experience with buying from overseas, so i was more enquiring to anyone who has.

It wouldn't surprise me that the OS kit was second rate, it looks it just to look at! But to assume a Tomei engine could be the same is silly. They have a reputation much like Cosworth with their engines, so if one were to fail prematurely it wouldn't go down well.

I do believe that even for $25,000 the Tomei engine is a good deal. I havn't seen any other "turnkey" engine that looks as good (to me) for similar price. If you had an engine built with same quality parts i'd bet it will cost over 25g. I stopped building a WRX engine when it was getting towards the $20,000 mark...

OS is a "lesser" company and/or quality than Tomei?

Rightyo :down:

Either way, i'd be budgeting to have it pulled down and checked regardless.

I agree with ash here. For the money you have spent, whats a little more to get everything checked.

I wish I had done it when my supposed BIG engine arrived here (albeit already in the car)

I think Dirt had a new Tomei 2.8ltr crank that he had to re-balance recently as it was all wrong.

May want to shoot him a PM to confirm

So if i buy a motor from Lewis engines or Godzilla motorsports i should get it pulled down and checked if it was done correctly.. Im sorry i have never heard anything so ridiculous! Most engine failures are caused by bad tunes not bad engineering.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
