Sounds like we may be in a similar boat, only i have done 155,000kms.

Some ACl bearings will only set you back approx $200, its the labour getting to them and then perhaps a regrind of the crank etc if required that will cost the $$$.

Considering the prices of 2nd hand RB26s id go a rebuild. Excluding labour to remove and fit engine, a general rebuild of the bottom end, inc ARP rod bolts etc shouldnt cost you over $1800.

Talk to some engine machine shops and/or mechanics to get a better feel of cost though.

What makes you think you have spun a bearing?

no, I don't have a spun bearing but I saw a GT-R for sale, and it's going for a good price ($24,500, has some mods so I think it's a bargain) but the only catch is that there's a spun bearing. Apparently the pistons are ok, just one of the bearings needs a repair.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
