As you might know , my rb26 has spun a bearing.

i have replacement parts to fix it but my only problem is getting the engine out of the car and doing it myself.

seeing as im really low on cash i was wondering if anyone could lend a helping hand to help me rebuild the motor.

ill happily pay you for your services etc but my main priority is getting my car back on the road as i dont have a daily.

any help will be greatly appreciated !

Don't forget you will need to get the assembly balanced as well. I'd also just the bore a light hone.

FOOLBOOST & Myself are pulling the engine out and pulling it apart and getting everything that is going in the motor put in professionally :)

Depending on the severity of the mechanical dis-symphony - you'll have bearing material through your turbo bearings too. Make sure you fully clean out your oil coolers etc of any bearing material - it gets everywhere, trust me been there got the t-shirt.

Listen to Andrew, take his word as gospel. He knows his shit.

P.S. Cheers again Andrew for all your help :(

yes i know this

just my car is a pain in the arse and is a big regret to me :D

want it fixed so i can enjoy it again :)

Turbo's will be fine providing you didn't drive it too much once she started knocking.

You will have to replace the oil pump though.

Cheap RB30E bottom end, shove a washer from the rb26 oil pump in to the rb30's std pump to bump up the pressure a little, block the rear oil restricter, 2 low tensioners suitable cam belt, cheap headgasket and it will be fine while you spend some time getting the rb26 built back up. :)

+ you'll get to experience a little rb30 wrath. :(

FOOOOLBOOST has done rb30 stuff before so he will probably make the same recommendation. :cheers:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
