Just got a couple of quotes back for a standard rb26 bottom end swap.. 7-9k ouch.. :ninja:

Looking at a couple of built long motors in japan the moment.. One's a tomei 2.8, 270 tomei cams, tomei oil pump, N1 water pump etc. in a N1 block. Motor has just under 4000k's on it.. May aswell get it checked out by a shop over there and do it right the first time i spose..

Can't justify spending that kind of money on a standard bottom end..

sucks. :laugh:

rb30? :ninja:

I've considered this.. But weezy gets mad and reckons it's molesting it.. Might throw in a rb30et with a A6 bottom end just to make him rage.. haha

Fitspatrick had a rb26 awd adapter for $450 (don't know if they still do) then there's around $600 in machine work to relocate the oil pick up then drill and re tap the rb30 for bigger head studs and a tensioner..

Thats about as much as i've looked into it so far.

Dayum thats quite cheap...

Bargain if you can get it, tho I hate to think what the shipping fees are for something so heavy

-D

Yeah it's cheap at the moment and shipping is around the $1500 mark from what i saw. I'm keen if it goes for under 9k..

That would be around 11k all up including shipping and taxes.

If it goes for any more it might be a better option to get a nitto 2.7 built here..

Weezy has a point (as a purist lol) as Rb30 bottom ends are awesome for the power gain, but the car loses value when you take the original rb26 out of it, which is the only reason I'm going to stick with the 26 bottom end

No pos RB30 bottom ends should be in a GT-R imo

:ninja:

Dont get me wrong, I'm all for twin cam RB30's in VLT's, GTSTs, etc but not a GT-R... C'mon lol

Think I should of called before I went for a drive, went all the way to MC Doyles Crash Repairs and they were closed... as in like they didnt pay their bills and got shut down. Guess I'll have to take my business elsewhere...

11k shipped for engine worth 5800?

Who's making a couple of grand?

My r34 rb26 motor was under 3k del

Yeah bit too much for shipping. I paid 60,000yen for a pallet (~A$700). If I had more money I would have loaded it up.

And Vu plz don't go to mc doyle unless u don't care about how your car comes out.

They're that bad are they? I've heard good and bad about them, was thinking I'd try them out myself but seeing they're close, ah wells.

What i was meaning to say was i'm prepared to pay 9k maximum for it and that would be around the 11k mark delivered after shipping and taxes.. If it goes for any more than that price i'd be looking into getting a motor built here.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
