I'm still considering options when it comes to buying mine.

I've asked around the forum and had mixed luck.

I have one option to buy one, but the guy has some parts for it to i feel i should take if i buy it, but i dont know if i want the same parts yet.

Someone suggested pick and pay less, but i never feel like i can trust them to give me an ok deal.

Someone said they can have a look around for me if needed (so a maybe)

and one person suggested buying a 31 (further up this thread) this is the option i'm favoring as i want to strip down the engine for a learning experience, but i'm pushed for space atm and dont know where i can stick while pulling the engine and dont know where to store it while i find a way of disposing of it.

So there are plenty of blocks out there.... it just depends what your willing to do to get it.

I'd go the R31 route, especially if the motor is still running. Then you have a spot to put your old engine, and any other parts you want to scrap can just throw them in the car. There are car collection services they will come around to your house and tow the car away for you for free.

      Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.

      Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
