Hi guys,

I'm selling my RB26 head. It was on my friends car in japan. It was removed as he fitted a brand new nissan crate motor so he got the head whipped off the old donk and sent it to me. It was inspected at prime garage before being sent and it is in fine condition. I'm asking $1000 for it. What you get for that:

RB26 head ready to bolt on to the block of your choice. it's complete with:

rocker covers

timing belt cover

cams

cam gears

valves

valve springs

retainers

lifters etc.

basically, head, covers, full valve train. no ancillaries, no coil packs etc. I will take some pics tomorrow, but it's nicely gift-wrapped in plastic and I don't want to open it up but I'll do my best. This would be perfect for someone building a 30DET. get 30 bottom end. slap on this head. bolt on a turbo kit, plenum etc and bob's your uncle.

Pics: I'm not willing to unwrap it for better pics as it's nicely wrapped right now. Customs cut a few holes to peak in but that's it.

yes it's cheap considering it's pretty much a bolt on jobbie for whatever block you have.

no throttle bodies mate. basically nothing attached to the head except for what's listed about. my advice would be either pick-up some GTR intake gear which is not too bad around $400 or so by the time you get it all. Lucky lots of big HP GTRs run aftermarket plenums and single throttles so it's not too hard to find.

no worries. I may be able to help organise some freight to melbourne, but either way it will have to be picked up from here.

it's sold seperately as the whole engine wouldn't fit into the boot of the car I was importing! and the bottom end had worn bearings, so it wouldn't have been much good. so I asked them to check head, remove the head and let them keep the bottom end as an early christmas present.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
