$300 right? LOL, I got a perfect (thats right PERFECT) block wrapped up in plastic in the shed....but mate you aint getting any where near it for that price....price up a new one, then get realistic with your price.

Good luck in getting an RB26 block for under $600 in any condition, they are generally between $750-1000.

Then again I have a '94 RB26 block that has both bottom bellhousing threads snapped off that I will probably have to throw out.

NAH thats BS mate. I just got a 33 virgin for 500 2 weeks ago. You people think theyre worth oh so much but theyre not. Truth is its just a block. But they are becoming hard to come by...

Still got my block Manoj, i will take almost anything for it.

I've been casually looking for an rb26 block for over a year and even on ebay they all seem to fetch over $700 with machining required or for a prep'd ready to use block they are $1500.

You can do far better if you shop around! And MYRB30, as for your pointless bit of advice in your previous post. Thank you. There's always a idiot on this forum.

In the past I have bought approx 4 blocks in perfect condition for $500 or under. I know that there is a shortage these days but I'm willing to wait and shop around.

Reason I want a really cheap block is I'm trailing the OS RB30 method and I'm trying to keep costs down for the first test version. My next few engines will be built with n1 blocks and top quality parts. I don't mind waiting for awhile till I stumble on something around that price range.

Mat, I'll contact you sometime this week. We need to catch up regardless. Much to discuss!

Shop around where? I look 6 days a week on ebay, sau, import shops and friends and they still aren't cheap.

I'll probably be picking up an RB30 block next week and going the 26/30 route.

You cant find a block for your pathectic offering....I got one stored in plastic....I think we know who the idiot is.

Yes and its evident that you are! Hanging around a post that you have no valuable input in. Who cares if you have a block? It's beyond me why you have come on and posted in my thread. To voice your useless opinion perhaps?

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
