I had this built at MRC Dyno services in Castle Hill planning to put it into my R31. Unfortunately funds dried up and my wife and I are expecting our first child in September and I'm looking to start a new business so my plans of building an epic R31 will have to remain a dream for now.

I've looked high and low but I'm still missing the first and last invoices for $1500 and more than $2000 respectively, I will keep looking for these over the next few days.

I bought the RB26 head for $1200 and it came with adjustable HKS cam gears and cams. I cannot confirm the model numbers or the specs of the cams but they did have HKS on them, I asked the engine builder to measure them but he forgot.

The block is an A8 (VL turbo) block, static compression is set to 8.8:1 (fairly high compaired to a lot of 26/30's) and the conrods have been linished and shot peened. The motor is 'zeroed' and ready for completion.

Parts included:

inlet plenum

multiple throttle bodies

HKS inlet gaskets (throttle chamber gaskets)

HKS exhaust gaskets

Not included:

a few nuts and bolts (including 6 cam gear bolts)

flywheel

no computer or electrics

no looms

no exhaust manifold

most AAC stuff (hoses, aac valve, air chamber, etc) see image below:

In its current state, it would ideally suit someone with an RB26 looking to upgrade or swap out a blown RB26 or anyone willing to spend the time chasing up the bits (a lot of the missing bits people seem to bin when they strip their motors, you've just got to find someone before they throw them away - SAU would be a good hang out for this)

This motor and my plans for it were mentioned in my build thread if you want more back ground info:

I've spent close to $12,000 in total.

No offers below $9,500, my loss is your gain.

will you be in penrith next year? i saw this on drn a while ago

I'm currently looking for work on the outside as the business is taking too long to get up and running. I haven't been posted so if I don't find a job, I'll be there.

cheers,

Griffo

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
