Hey guys,

I just wanted some opinions on how much a stock R34 GT-R motor is worth as I have ordered a crate engine to replace her.

Here's some details.

- motor still in car and runs perfectly with no problems at all.

- about 74,000kms genuine

- complete long block engine but does not include turbos, manifolds, loom, fuel system, pulleys or plenum.

- recently dynoed at 200awkw with just a cat-back system

cheers

Euge

guys - no turbos etc etc.

$2000 at the absolute best.

heads are $1100-$1500, bottom ends are worth nothing

A complete running RB26 is not worth 6-7k that's for sure

Ouch! 2k? your serious; i know no turbos or plenum/fuel system but 2k?

well if mx is gonna sell it, id probably buy it for that price and build it up slowly to slot in my gtr when its done...serious on that if your interested.

A purchased a near complete head (no manifolds/turbos) for $1000, ~100,000km/s or so on it. Its in good nick. This is a common everyday price.

Bottom ends, literally are no more than $500 in value really.

So yes, no ancillaries, loom and so on, no more than $2000.

Just check the For Sale section, you'll soon see GTR heads sell for $1500 with plenum/manifolds attached, less without depending on what is missing.

Back 5 years ago i paid less than $4000 for a FULL motor, it had dead turbos... but everything from plenum to dumps to the loom.

It was a bit tired, so perhaps 4.5k full running motor with a loom for something in a little better condition.

You can get them imported now for 4k even, in decent condition.

If anyone can get more, good luck to them, the buyer didn't do their research.

For what it's worth, 2JZ's sell for under $3500 :D

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
