Have got 3 RB26DETT heads sitting around the shed. all 3 are damaged but repairable, would suit machinist or someone in the trade who could repair them and make some money off them.

Head 1) Was brand new old stock that had been stting around since new. I bought it and then threw rod out side of block which damaged the combustion chamber a bit and broke the valves off. Most bits there for it.

Head 2) Head which is slightly warped. Needs straightening

Head 3) Head which has had different cams put in, the clearences for the cams wasnt set properly so it damaged the cam journels and the bering caps etc. Complete but needs line boring

Offers for all 3? or 1? I dont mind. If i get enough interest for parts i will part them out but i dont want to sell a couple little things as it will make it hard for the person who buys the lot.

Pair of Nismo engine mounts, used but still in good nick $150 pair

Tomei Sump baffle, used but was only in engine for a couple months, $150

Also, have got other r32gtr bits and pieces, std exhaust manifolds, heat guards, heaps of other little bits just ask.

Would prefer text or call as i am not on computer very often.

Do you have any pictures you can post up?

Head 1) Complete head, cams there. Cam bearing lobes are scratched a bit due to the clearences not being set properly or something like that. Needs line boring as the cam bearing caps must be too tight on the cams.

Head was meant to be reconditioned when i got the engine, looks very clean etc but needs reshimming after its line bored.

Head 2) Slightly warped but repairable. maybe 2 bent valves after problem with cam belt. missing 1 spring retainer etc but the valve is still in there. Pair of cams that came with that head but after the head is straightened it will need reshimming.

Head 3) Havent got photos of this one atm, It is bare head as i used all of the bits to put into another head i had but i have got nearly all of the bits there to go in it, has got cams to match it. Needs combustion chamber welding up and then will need assembling and re-shimming

Have got some shims there with the heads but generally i did an exchange with my head reconditioner as shims arent cheap when you buy 24 at a time.

Could use all 3 to make 2 good heads, sell one to cover your costs and still have spares left over to sell or keep should anything happen to yours.

I was going to rebuild them but i dont have the time as i have got too many other projects on the go and i want to clear some room for my new project.

As i am on satalite internet it takes forever to upload photos so i have posted a sample of what i have got

Still got all 3 heads, sell all 3 for $600, need them gone as i need the room in the workshop.

Thats right, 3 heads for $600, build 1 or 2 out of the 3 and still have spares left over

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
