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.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
