As a couple of you may know i need a full engine rebuild for my 33 gtr.

I have had a few quotes and all come in roughly at the $10,000 mark.

But i have a friend and her dad owns Advanced Engine Recon and he can do it quite a bit cheaper...

But ive never heard of them and i dont want to skimp out and get it done badly.

And dont want to be rude and ask him if hes any good lol...

So has anyone used them before? Or even heard of them etc?

Any advice would be good

cheers

Never heard of them myself buddy, doesn't mean that they are bad however. If I were in your position though, I'd rather put my faith and hard earned into a trusted workshop who know these engines. Nothing like spending 10k on a motor only to find out in a few months it's gone again ;)

hey mate i built my RB25 myself but had the machining done at Advanced engine reconditioners. Good work and realisticly speaking, machining is machining, you're either good at it or you're not, doesnt matter if its a RB26 or a tractor engine. But like i said, they did good work for me.

How far you going with the rebuild? standard? forgies?

If you really want top quality work speak to Andrew at Autosolutions & Restorations, has built many stomper GTR engines and was a great help to me when i was putting my motor together. Really knows his stuff when it comes to RB's in general

    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.    
    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.
