I have an unlicensed r32 GTR Fully complied but not licenses due to 6th cylinder having little compression.

Where can i take it in Perth to get the bottom end rebuilt with forged pistons and rods, crank collar N1 oil and water pump and new bearings.

No one wants to touch it with out me handing over 25k.

All i want is a basic rebuild to get the car going and make it abit stronger. aiming for 350rwkw. more work will get done in time but just want bottom end done for now. I may as well chuck in oil restrictor and head service so all is good.

If i cant find anyone to do it I have found a replacement engine for 4400 + 990 fitting. It includes a gearbox clutch and ecu in that price.

Any ideas?

which workshops have you been to......

C-red

Xspeed

Hyperdrive

Intune

Im sure all of them do it for much less then 25k

ps. check the consolidated workshop thread

What's your budget?

For an engine build you are probably better off going in a talking to someone face to face. They deal with dreamers ringing up all the time. I know many of the workshops are flat out at the moment so expect the odd un-answered phone call or email.

Maybe an N1 crate motor from Just Jap is the go Click Me

we got a very similar rebuild for around 8k on one of our r32 gtrs , a little more with some extras like pumps and recon injectors , afms etc. Give me a call and I can talk to the engine builder , he is very busy so it won't be quick if he does take it on but his work was great and we are very happy with the engine so far

if you do go cut , kyp are great

I have 8k to play with.

The engine for $4400 is a 50k r32 engine. Couldnt find any later model engines for sale.

i wouldnt even bother rebuilding a rb26 unless you have at least 10k for parts alone...

either a 2nd hand motor or go get a loan and do it properly

budget 26 WILL end in tears

You are kidding aren't you? :O What parts do you need to be able to spend $10k on?

An Rb26 doesn't need to be built to produce 1000hp or rev to 10,000rpm. Set some reasonable expectations & with a reasonable budget you can get a good result by rebuilding your motor.

Certainly a better result than spending money on a tired 2nd hand motor anyway.

Mainly thinking of getting the second hand engine installed due to the time a rebuild will take.

I want the car licensed so I can drive the damn thing.

Looking for 500bhp max in the long term set a nice rev limit of 8500

How long will it take you to build?

You gave me a quote before but the misses wants me to get it done locally cuz she wants the car on the road ASAP.

How long would it take for the engine to get back to me?

What freight company do you use?

Agreed...

I might have to give Paul a bell, come this time next year for a 26, or 26/30 build come this time next year if local options are no good.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
