Tax Time! Need Engine...

[trel]

Just did my tax return. My 33 is sick

Harmonic balancer came loose... need a motor.

Anyone got a good running engine for me? Wouldn't mind it coming with a decent standard turbo also... Or does anyone know anywhere good to get my engine reconditioned at least?

Cheers.

red r racing have got some mental builds going at the moment.

contact them to see if they have something done that you could do a changeover with. Im getting my old r33 engine built there at the moment and was looking to sell when finished, pm me if your interested.

defiantely get ur own engine rebuilt man.

take it to sabadins in clayton.

if u go buy another engine u have no idea what the f**k ur buying dude at least with ur engine u know whats wrong with it and can get it fixed.

rough price on a rebuild?

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

a standard rebuild is around 4000+ then if u add a lil flavour to it, maybe a turbo kit (just a lil one) then around 10k (this is with all brand new parts and nothing chinese etc)

ur best bet is to speak to ur mechanic and see what he says.

if u dont have a mechanic there i already mentioned one further up the page who i will only ever use but there are many around melbourne who are very good

Just get a 2nd hand motor, stuff paying for a standard rebuild - to expensive IMO.

can pickup a wrecker engine fitted for less than $4k

and you can have the comp tested etc to make sure its a healthy engine

ring vicroads to tell them change of engine and you will have it sorted straight away

plus rebuilding takes time, unless your going forged not worth it

thanks for responses! hmm i was erring more the side of a wrecker motor too. the thing im not sure about though is if you can accurately comp test a motor if its out of the car?

[KURAUN]

generally they should give you warrenty

but if the engine still is in a halfcut (just buy the enigne, and return the rest) they are able to start it up with a battery and some fuel

which would be the best way to do it
