Hey all, not sure if this is the right section but anyway.

I need a replacement s/h RB26 block + girdle as the RB26 i picked up has a damaged block from when it was in an accident.

So i would like to know the fair $$ value for one.

I have seen some rediculous prices for RB26 parts....

Or on the other hand, i'm thinking about buying a brand new N1 block and possibly crankshaft.

Where would i look to find the best prices for these?

well, don know where your area is, but brand new blocks, at just jap range from 2500-12k 2500 for the normal block, 3k for the N1 block and also 12k or so for the gt500rrr block

i have a second hand one for sale if your interested.

but im in sydney, and shipping for a block is pretty limited most of the time.

I'm in SA.

Yeah i know Just Jap do them, but i'm sure there is somewhere cheaper.

I saw you forsale thread and i'm sorry your block is way too rediculousy priced... Add another $300 to the price your asking for your block and crank, and thats what i paid for my complete RB26.

Thanks, anyway.

He never actually gave you a price. He just said what others sell them for - brand new.

Just look in the FS section, RB26 blocks sell for 2/10ths of fk all really 2nd hand.

Forget spending coin on a N1 block, not essential and plenty of cars running 400rwkw on a normal block

He didn't give me a price in the thread no, but i saw what he was asking in his forsale thread.

I have been looking in the for sale thread, but prices range from $200 to $1500 for a block! I'm asking what one would actually be worth, because the guy that sold me the engine is going to refund me the cost of a replacement block. Hench my question to ask how much one is 'fairly' worth.

Second hand block may well be the go, but there is never a way of telling how many cracks are in it until its tested.

And although i'm not chasing heaps of power, i want revs and repsonse and i want it to last.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
