Nearly Cried,sydney Help,please.......rb20det


Recommended Posts

just 2 days driving,car stopped on the road,got mechnaic checked, orginally thought it's timing belt but when opened the cover,found one bolt was break apart as a result 4 valves were crashed inside. just 2 days!!!!! purely cash was handed over to purchase the car, how do you people feel if you were me? ......

mechnaic couldn't find a place to buy head gasket and valves, so i drop a hope here wish sydney's people could give me hand, it's a rb20det, im living in western sub, can anybody give me some suggestion to find cheap stuff around? would so appreciate,thanks very much!!

drop a advice or send me a email to [email protected]

thanks people. :)

Have you had a good look at it, sounds strange to only lose 4 valves there might be more damage, and possibly to the piston they hit as well.

On the bright side, entire rb20s are cheap if you need lots of bits. Justjap have r32 gtst front cut on their website for 2,200, engine would be cheaper again. Or ring the other wreckers like SSS.

that's not TOO bad.. rb20's aren't expensive ;o

mate bought a gtr to have the turbos die a day later, got them replaced within another 2-3days then got it on the dyno for a tune and spun a bearing.

rb26 builds = shiteload.

so yea, u're not alone so dont feel tooo bad about it. lots of lemon skylines going around. ;o

thanks very much,i will try to get everything out and see if more damage has done,if y,then gonna change the whole thing.thanks for the advice,people/ :D

any good wreckers around sydney area?? thanks.

f**k!

there isnt much more to state other than the obvious.. you snapped 2 valves and they stayed around to play. i wouldnt be suprised if your bores are scratched.. hopefully they'd only need a light hone.

the problem is mainlyl in the head. you'd want to replace all of those valves. you might get away with just replacing those 4 but you'll have no guarantees that the same thing wont happen again. get the head serviced too.

while you've got it all apart you might as well do bearings and rings.

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
