so that list is everything thats in the new bottom end you want to buy?

how many k's or new? sounds alright i guess, how much power you aiming to hit it with? you might wanna make sure everythings there before you buy

It isnt getting brought, it is getting swapped from a company, it has recept's and photo's of everything that will be going into the engine, as i have said i am swapping for a blown up vl turbo,

how much do you guy's think this be worth?

if you were to build that bottom end, and you already owned the block,

you would get change out of $2000

if you pay any more then this you need to find a new workshop.

its a stock rebuild with forged pistons and thats it.

if your VLT motor has bits worth more then $1500 that are still usable, then dont do it

theres no mention of the crank being balanced to suit the new forged oversize pistons, so if that hasnt been done it will struggle to rev past 5k and will rattle itself to bits.

Why would you reco a oil pump when a brand new N1 is only $400

sounds dodgy..

reco oil pump? what!

cps yes,(they come with pins)

billet rods.

n1 pump with collar

9:1.

standard main and head bolts.

head clean up mild cams.

thats what i would concider a reasonable build without busting the bank

ok thank's for this, was going to swap tomorrow,

so really if im going to swap what should i ask for in this bottom end?

an in the head i just basically want it rebuilt with new cams springs an make sure all is good, befor even thinking about fuel and bigger turbo,

but this bottom end has me thinking he might be taking a lend of me and getting a cheap vlt.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
