Ok guys, It's time for me to sell all the gear out of my 32 GTR. I have bought an N1 Nur crate motor and had it rebuilt in japan so I need to sell off all my current gear before the new stuff arrives. The current engine was rebuilt in japan in 2003 according to the previous owner. It was an engine rebuild/refresh done in Saitama, Japan. The engine is in excellent condition and makes great power. I do less than 5,000kms a year in it so it's still very fresh. I do track days and the like with it and to ensure longevity I only run Motul Chrono 300V 10W40 (full ester) and I run a Defi oil pressure gauge to monitor oil pressure. It does not suffer oil surge at all (I do 2 laps whilst recording oil pressure, then play it back). Oil pressure is 8bar+ at cold start. once at operating temp it sits on about 6bar and higher whilst at a steady cruise (above 3,000rpm). Even at hot idle it sits on 2 bar. Also to ensure engine health I run a very conservative rev limit of 7,200 RPM at the circuit as RB26 on circuit + high revs do not mix.

The engine is currently making 260rwkw at just 1.05bar boost.

What you get:

my complete RB26 (rocker covers, plugs, head, everything in the head, the whole bottome end including sump, diff etc)

Trust Cam gears (currently fitted and dialed in nicely)

Trust Timing belt

Full Trust Hard pipe kit (I just recently spent about $250 buying new genuine Trust silicone joiners for it)

GTR FMIC

exhaust manifolds

Turbos (i'm not sure what they are, bit of a lucky dip on them, they do have HKS wastegate actuators which may hint at something, we will know when everything is pulled out. the previous owner in japan just said "turbocharger added")

Dump pipes and front pipes

Throttle bodies

Plenum

Fuel Injectors (440cc)

Fuel rail

standard radiator

Oil pump and water pump

engine mounts

I can probably throw in my Apexi Power intake kit too and all the turbo intake piping

I can also give you a copy of the Power FC tune which you can just upload to your Power FC. It's a good tune. Lots of time spent on it both on dyno and road tuning.

What you don't get, but will need: Coil packs, fuel reg (costs about $20 second hand), Power steering, altenator etc (just re-use what you have), inlet bridge (goes between throttles and engine).

Now the reason I'm selling all this gear for $4200 instead of $5,000 is there is a problem with it atm. The balancer bolt was not done up tight enough and it has snapped the keyway off the crank. It's not a hard fix as the standard keyway is not part of the crank, there is a half moon shaped recess in the crank and the keyway is pressed in, so it's not a big deal to weld a new one in there, then linish the snout and bobs your uncle. any competent workshop can weld up a new keyway and it will be fine. The only job the keyway does it locate the balancer whilst you are putting it on, once on it doesn't do anything, it doesn't drive the balancer, the bolt holding the balancer on the crank is what drives it. There are two options for repair:

1. Once the engine is out take it to workshop and get it repaired (I've spoken to Envy Imports, and Autosport and both have said they could easily repair it. I would guess repair costs of a couple hundred $)

2. Once the engine is out whip off the sump take out the crank and replace the crank, and the bearings with a new crank. Will cost about $1000 but then you basically have a brand new RB26.

I have considered repairing it before sale, but i would rather just take $4200 for the lot and let someone else do it, but I would be happy to help organise it. Anyone who has been in my car, or driven it I'm sure will attest to how fresh and crisp the engine felt in it.

A recent pic. Sorry for all the dust but I'd just had a little off track excursion and the dust went everywhere, so I took a pic before I cleaned it up.

This has been a great set-up for me putting out a meaty 270rwkw and pretty low boost and very conservative tune. It has almost no blow by, excellent compression and great power. All the parts you need for the same enjoyment are here.

BTW, if anyone out there for some reason is wondering about the price. Consider this. Replacing this stuff is costing me about $25,000... :devil:

yeah it's cheap, I need the dough! Forgot to add airflow meters are included too. and if you need an ECU I have a Kakimoto tuned standard computer which has a nice tune in it that I could probably throw in there.

It's pretty much a GTR front cut minus a few small pieces.

If there are no bites before I fit the new engine I will just get a new keyway put in and price will go well up. or I might just break up all the pieces. lots of money in it that way.

Trust hard pipe kit would have to be worth $400 (considering it has all new joiners costing me about $250, and new Sard dual bead hose clamps which cost be about $200)

GTR IC $150

GTR radiator $80

GTR throttles and plenum $800

GTR injectors $350 (these were recently cleaned and flowed and I have the results, all flowing 440cc)

GTR Afms $200

GTR complete intake piping $180

ECU $300

Trust cam gears $200

Trust timing belt (only about 8,000kms use) $800

GTR motor (basically covers, head, bottom end, sump and diff) $3100

Fuel rail $20

Dump pipe and front pipes $100

manifolds $100

HKS actuators $150 (pair)

Turbos (if standard $300, but they could be N1s, or similar in which case we are looking at at least $1000)

engine and gearbox mounts $70 for the set

That brings us to $7300 assuming the turbos are standard, or $8000 if they are not. I'm not interested in breaking stuff up and selling at this stage so please don't ask, I just put those rough prices up to give an idea of what you are getting. :devil:

I'm sure plenty of people on here can vouch for how I treat my car and how I monitor the engine and use only the best oils and coolant and service it what amounts to about 2,000kms between services. I use 4 defi gauges to monitor the engine (oil pressure, oil temp, fuel pressure and boost and even have another big oil pressure warning light and buzzer).

Bear in mind if you bought this for a GTST you could probably have the new keyway done, and the engine installed into your car for a total of maybe $6000 or so, then sell all your old GTST gear for maybe $1500-$2500 depending on what exactly you have. Then you have a nice, powerful, healthy RB26 conversion done for about $4000 or so. Very cheap power :blink:

NOTE: engine is still in car and I'm happy for any serious buyer to get compression test and leakdown tests done, but if you are the trusting type I can save you the dough as I have the results here from a test done for me at Grey Imports.

Reason for sale: I have bought an R34 N1 Nur crate motor in japan, and had it built to my spec (serious head etc) so I want to fit that

yeah I would say they are possibly some N1, or high flow. You can see the boost curve in the second dyno sheet. boost comes on very early, and holds very steady at 1.05 bar (15psi). Plus 267kw atw with such low boost is pretty uncommon, and who would bother fitting HKS actuators to stock turbos? still assume the worst and hope for the best I say. :D

would you consider freighting it?

is the crank a 32 0r 33 later type?

damn your new motor sounds like it'll rock

pics of the head in you other thread look damn nice

jealous

Hi mate,

as far as I know crank is R32 type with the narrow pump drive. hasn't been a problem for me in the 3 years I've run it, but it would be a perfect time to upgrade whilst the engine is out. just install a collar, or even easier replace crank with a 33 crank. Sure I would consider freight, basically I can put the engine into a pallet and box (the one the new engine comes out of). All of the extra stuff would be tricky though as there are lots of bits to go with it. So ideally I'm after someone local I guess, but if no body steps forward to take it I'll keep in touch. :)

Dyno IT 56 !

Hmmn, shield those pods

Oh wow same problem i had before Richard,

Anyone wanting to know about thre crank problem i recently done, got it repaired for less than $400

yep, that's how I knew what yours was as I had just diagnosed mine at home. :blush:

did you get greg to fix yours?

did you get greg to fix yours?

Yeah, good as new! no more vibrations!

but now suspect turbo oil seal blown. need to do leak down test soon.

i swear i am never going to make it out to a southern event in my car.

hey mate would u take 4000 for the whole lot.... does it come with wiring harness

you need to pull your finger out andrew. we want to see the car on the track. greg

lol, I don't think andrew is allowed to call it a track car anymore. 1 meet in 3 years does not a track car make. my mums camry sees more tack time. hehe if that doesn't get him cracking nothing will. :blink:

lol, I don't think andrew is allowed to call it a track car anymore. 1 meet in 3 years does not a track car make. my mums camry sees more tack time. hehe if that doesn't get him cracking nothing will. :huh:

Haha, Dont worry Richard, i've pulled the finger out and got cracking on getting this motor out.

just have to save some money and budget around my trip to chile in august and my daily driver i am buying today!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
