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.

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:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
