John Hill of JHH Engineering

Another one for JHH.

Just you need to listen to what he says. Dont go in half cocked that you want this and this. Say what you want to get out of the car, answer his questions, and you should have a VERY nice engine.

  • 2 years later...

thought id bring up an old topic. can someone suggest a engine builder/balancer that will do exactly what u ask. unlike the moron i used that did half the job his way and then refused to finish it (and charged double the verbal quote).

the same 2 recommendations as were previously on here

Chilton Engineering or JHH if your after engineering (boring/honing/balancing).

If you need a builder/mechanical god, check out Dan @ Elite Racing Developments (http://www.erd.com.au)

there is one that has been recommended that i would not use, will not mention but has been lissted a few times.

i had my machining done there, and i had to get another shop to do a quick job on my crank and they found the crank had 8thou

run out, the crank was full of metal and had not been cleaned, my block had marks in the bores from the hone being dragged out

and 2 welsh plugs missing from the oil gallerys. the big ends on my rods were not true. all up i had to sepnd another $1200 to fix everything

I do highly recommend John Wilson Engineering at southport. hell my rb20 revs to 9k and makes just over 400rwhp. cant complain

$4K for pull down, machining, full head service including guides, blueprinting and assembly. Any cheaper and id be questioning the quality.

is this for a standard rebuild, or using stronger internals?

i realise "how much for a rebuild" is like asking how long is a piece of string, but just curious roughly what parts are used

no parts...parts are extra on top of this

the above price includes the assembly to be fully balanced.

ANOTHER ONE FOR JOHN HILL AT JHH. He built my 25/30 and did all the headwork on my 26/30.

Now if only I could find the number lol.....

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
