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.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
