GDay,

Just rang Hornsby Nissan for a price on an RB26 engine overhaul gasket kit. $570! I was just wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives such as non genuine aftermarket kits etc. Im trying to save some money.

Thanks,

Shaun.

I'm assuming it's for a BNR32? If so, buy a BCNR33 gasket kit and an oil stariner o ring for a BNR32. Will be about $300 all up.

Yeah, i was quoted for an R32 Rb26. You're a ledgend Mik!!

I've actually bought an R33 GTR kit before and i couldnt remember paying anywhere near $570. I wonder why the R32 kit is so much more expensive??

Anyway, thanks. Ill price the ACL kit too; but where is ACL?

Shaun.

The Nissan i think is $320... cant remember if that was trade or not though.

Always helps to know someone

ACL - http://www.acl.com.au/

HAve a check around there, not sure if there are prices though

Thanks mate.

i got my VRS kit from Lincorp in parramatta (which offer SAU members discounts) for $160 trade without the valve stem seals. its $244 with them.

Holy sh1t, its getting cheaper and cheaper. Im glad i asked the question now!

Ill ring em on Monday,

Thanks,

Shaun.

only catch is you've got to be a financial member of SAU if you dont have a trade card.

How do i become a financial member???

Also, forgive my stupidity, but what does VRS stand for? Been racking my brains all day!!

Thanks,

Shaun.

PS. Was this for an RB26 (32 or 33). Dont you have an RB25?

And it will get you cheaper entry to the club events and track days as well as the sponsor discounts.

And VRS stands for "Very Rare and Spensive"

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
