I am too busy studying this year and may be most of next year so someone might as well enjoy this. I will be building a larger RB engine when I have more time.

Engine was built in Japan and came with a R32 Vspec around 4 years ago. So the engine is pretty much an R33RB with unknown forged internals and capacity. The car has a lot of Mines bolt on stuff when it came over so it could have been built by them (but dont take my words for this). Whoever built this engine is GREAT. The cylinders compressions are all good and there is absolutely no blowby oil in the catch can regardless of drag or track activities. Engine does not use oil at all as well.

Car has only been used mainly for weekend activities. Best time at Willowbank is 11.4@126mph and QR Sprint is 57.1 with RE55 and aggressive cambers of 4- in the front and 3- in the rear. I've only been to QR and Willowbank about 3 times each with the car. I think I can go faster at the drag if I reduce the camber, unload some weight and use drag radials but I have not had much time this year.

All of the tuning and work was done by Willall Racing, Martin Donnon (when I was still in Adelaide), Tune and Matty Spry (since I moved to QLD). Engine has been conservatively tuned with pair of T518Z 10cm at 18-19psi for power graphs below. Castrol Edge synthetic oil is religiously changed before and sometimes after every track work too.

-HKS 264 intake and exhaust cams

-HKS cam gears

-1.5 ATS carbon LSD This was only installed late last year and only been at QR sprint twice. Costed me around $2000.

-Trust front diff back cover. Holds an extra 1 L of oil

-Nissan water pump and Trust belt was replaced late last year

-Engine may have after market baffle plate because I never have any oil surge problem.

-Oil pump is unknown but what ever it is used on this engine I am happy to used it again with my next engine. Oil pump and engine survived many redline (conservative 8.5krpm) launches at the drag.

Asking price is a bargain $9k.

The new nissan water pump, Trust timing belt, cams gears, cams and lsd will easily cost you close to half of this asking price.

Engine is still in car and currently located in Brisbane

Who ever buy this engine please open it up, refresh it and let me know what clearances and parts were used. It is amazing. I love to be able to do that now but got to invest into my study atm :P

I can include the trust t518z turbo, BDI fuel rail, injectors, nismo fuel regulator and the Djetro map for extra cost. I've spent a lot of money on the djetro map for full throttle, high way cruise and midrange power tuning. Engine refresh can be arranged too. Reluctant sale so serious buyer only ......please no joyriders.

I will post some dyno graph up soon

Edit: Turbo are T517Z with 10cm2 housing. Engine is out of the car and turbo can be supplied with the engine. Trust front diff cover has been replaced with the original cover. The engine is in SA atm. Sorry for any inconvenience.

That's the next thing I will be doing once I finish off my current R32 project. I am planning to take the engine apart and freshen it up too but that will depend on the left over fund from this project.

The turbo are on the car atm. I will part the turbo when I can find suitable replacement soonish....hopefully next few weeks Sorry for any confusion.

The engine came out of a R32 gtr that is used mostly for track day and paper weight in the shed/workshop most other days. The engine is currently in a workshop in Adelaide. I can organise anything ranging from a complete overhaul for this engine. I can replace the stock parts too if the buyer is not keen on these after market parts. I have offers for these parts but keen to sell them with the engine coz I am working in Brissy and don't have time to dissassemble them.

  • 2 weeks later...

The turbs will prob be around 2-2.5 large but will depend on how well the new turbs work on the new engine. It's not for sale atm.

I am selling the engine at this stage. Anyone want to make an offer on the engine?

If not I may recondition it and keep it as a spare

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
