i bought this engine a few months ago for 2k. i was planning to throw it into my 300zx but realised i dont have the time right now to do the project, so i sold the car and bought another one. i need the money to help with the saving for a house.

These motors are unreal. they used these engines in the indy cars but for the street they have a de-tuned bottom end. these engines are popular in the US (check out nico.com). they are capable of getting huge power from stock internals and are a high revving v8 engine. Standard internals can handle over 600hp and produce some great torque figures. these engines are also used in speed boats, usually with a twin turbo set up pushing out around 900+hp

These fit suprisingly well in R33 engine bays. They have a front sump so no mucking around there (unlike on the Z's). There is also a group buy on adaptor plates to mate up the Z32 5 speed manual gearbox being run on www.aus300zx.com

BUMP.....anyone?.....

would be a great project......there are some superchagers out there that suit this engine very well...or you could always go for a tt set up like this s13 silvia owner

He's got front mount turbo's and a custom inlet manifold so the bonnet will shut.

Here is a short video of the engine above started on the stand, sounds good and shoots flames 8)

thats amazing!

These are rock solid engines.

cheers mate, these are very strong engines...its a miracle you dont see them more often in jap cars....even just in a v8 form

bump...guys i need this gone....anyone interested???

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
