Recently parked the old girl in the shed with intentions of bringing her back to life(1989 gtst r32).

The car has been sitting in the yard at my brothers with no bonnet so the bores have gathered abit of surface rust.

I have since pulled the motor from the car and am wondering where to start and also if the block will be ok to use.I know ill need a new oil pump as i cracked it trying to remove the crank gear.

Just want to know what a standard rebuild includes

Like bearings

Rings

If the block will need to be honed/acid dipped

ETC ETC

Any help will be result in a feeling of inner happyness :/:P .......(results may vary)

for the price of a standard rebuild you could almost get a RB25 in there

what a useless answer seriously..

pretty much what you said mate,its ya gaskets and oil pump that are the killer for these engines $$$$

drop ya head of and block and a machine shop get hear recoed and bores cleaned up they then can tell you wether need oversize rings and what not.

also water pump, timing belt, thermostat and housing best to do everything whilst its out.

good luck with it mate, love the 20's

Not really - he asked if it was all OK to use, clearly nothing really is.

By the time you piss all the money into a RB20 like that to get it running you could have a RB25 in, and running.

How is that not the better solution and wiser spending of the money - i will never know.

Unless he goes the $500 wrecker motor option (which is the only other thing i would suggest), rebuilding the RB20 is the very much silly avenue.

Perhaps the OP does not realise the costs involved, work, cost of RB25s and so on

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
