I finally got all my parts needed to do the rebuild. All parts are supplied by me.

Wiseco 40thou pistons + rings

Eagle H beam rods + rod bolts

ACL big end + main bearings

1.2mm HKS headgasket

Tomei Poncams

Heavy duty valves

Headstuds

N1 oil + water pumps

HkS timing belt

What workshop do you guys reccommend to do the job properly? Everyone seems to think that the only workshop in perth is Xspeed..Interested in feedback and experinces from other places. Any ideal or ball park is to how much much it will cost? I want maximium reliablilty and it all crack and pressure tested, x-rayed and complete bottom end balanced.

well basicly because they build high horsepower engines that last... whats the point on spending $20000 to see it last 4 months, mines been goin strong for 18 months and not missed one tick.... they let their engines do the talking for them.... give john a call, mad not to..

you might as well just look at the consolidated workshop thread once again

seriously this thread will go no where we have all got our favourites and thats that

im sure the big names in perth will all do a pretty good rebuild , its not rocket science

u seem to know what you need to get a good RB going(judging from list), someone recommended all these parts to you or you knou your stuff. maybe you should ask the same person to recommend a workshop to you or you already know the answer to your own question.

I really didnt think this thread could last 10 and a half hours ha ha

Check the consolidated workshop thread, ring around, find someone you are comfortable and trust, then give them your parts. Cost should not play a huge part in a build like this.

mayb wen u spend $20k on ur engine.....looking for a workshop to do a good job/price would be of use to you....But in ur case....installing a pod filter then i surpose any old person would do

sarcasim is not one of your strong points obviously

or mine perhaps......

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
