Hey, i was wondering if it is at all possible or if anyone has already done this?

I have been doing some research and thought that using the RB26 block would have its advantages like the added strength as well as not fouling on the bonnet.

any ideas would be great

cheers

You would need a spacer between block and head or you will punch the pistons right through the head.

I believe that's the way they do it in Japan ala OSGiken 3L with custom crank/rods/pistons.

Note the deck spacer and sleeves :)

Yeah i also noticed the $31,000 US pricetag :)

just looking at different options at the moment, the vg30 has a shorter stroke and also custom pistons could be made to suit, i read somewhere that someone de-stroked the crank to 2.9 ltrs and put it together like that

Custom crank $5-6000

Custom pistons $1500

Custom rods (good ones) $1900

Waiting months and months when you couldve done a 3.0L, priceless.

If the racespec ones are in stock that would be a different story. One thing though, i dont like how they use 87.5mm bore.

Gold! :blink:

When Spools 3.4L kits become available (and if I have fundage) I'll start to build a 3.4L on the side to go into the skyline and the stag can have the current 30.

that would be sweet, hmmm have decided to just stick with the 30/26 been done before and dont want to fck something up trying to make my own hybrid engine

hmm now i have a complete rb26 bottom end to sell as well as a brand new R34 Nur Spec front diff and sump, any takers?

What's the deal with the sump? if it's fancy enough I could probably talk Mikey into it ;)

it wont fit in a 32 :) will only fit in a 33gtr or 34gtr, the 32 is too narrow for it to fit in, i got it with my engine as the person who sold it to me couldnt use it on his 32

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
