3k for 2.8 kit is impossible. The crank alone will cost more than that.... Then you have pistons, rods and the build. So unless someone is willing to take up the cost for the rest I think its just a dream.

No chance he's getting a stroker kit.

By the sounds of it, his genius mechanic wants to bore out a standard block to try and reach an 'effective' capacity of 2.8L

Abort.

Your crackin it arnt you mate, I cant stand people like you.

Any normal half brained guy would choose a 2.8 over a stock R33 engine. ESPECIALLY if your only going to nanna the car, if your not going to DRIVE it SELL IT! GTRs are ment to be driven hard, grow a pair and Dont bullshit on forums mate, seriously....Annoying

Great post, people should listen to you

Yes this is the case. He never mentioned a crank. He just said pistons and rods but for a 2.8 litre. Unfortuneately for everyone on here supporting the forged option (i think its actually everyone that has posted thus far) I have gone for the Autotech Engine (apparently identical to the R33 GTR). I get to keep my nismo injectors, N1 turbos, external oil cooler and my power FC.

My reasons to support this decision is because I am not a person who cares for monster power and I would prefer my car to be as stock as possible for daily commuting **dodges rotten tomatoes thrown at me**.

:P

This is great. You simply can not get 2.8 reliably out of an RB block with the stock sized rods and crank stroke.

Please post up who it is so someone can at least advise him that RB's have water jackets :)

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
