2nd handy u recon, what do they cost? i got quoted about 2gs to fix the cylinder

Find a used motor with warranty, Japan autos sold me mine and Im very happy with the condition.

You will save a packet and have the car back on the road asap.

You need to think ahead, how much power are you going to be chasing, if you just want something with a bit more than standard the a second hand motor might be the go (just remember most of them only come with a 30 day warranty) if you want to wind boost in a get some good power out of it or you want to use it at a race track then you would be better off rebuilding it so you know everything is good.

Well the owner of OH ended up hitting a tree and is no longer on this earth - hence the shop has shut i believe.

However you can't really just fit one cyclinder. Nor will you get away with it all for $4,500 (taking into account turbo price/fitting).

So as Scott said, the only way to meet that budget is get a 2nd hand R33 motor, change turbos, bolt it in.

-5s in that case will also be the wrong choice as you will not be able to fully utilise them on a stock motor as reliability terms would suggest to be more conservative as you are obviously low on budget/funds.

Even @ 4.5k you'll wont even get there TBH.

2nd hand motor, installed, turbos (id say -9s) then ECU/tune/clutch/AFM/Injectors and everthing else that goes with it.

Will come to a lot more than 4.5k

If thats all the power you want, Garrett -7s mate.

The -5s will make 380rwkw or there abouts, so totally not what you want.

Just have a search and a read through the dyno results thread, you'll soon see what you need in terms of parts.

For 280rwkw you'll get away with stock injectors and AFM so a good saving of $$$ in that respect.

Motor wise - no idea mate. I've never purchased one but there is already one place mentioned so far :)

and as for selling yours, lots of people are after a complete rb26 to rebuild at a decent price to put into any thing and everything, if priced right (go through the for sale section and see what they have sold for) you shouldnt have any problems finding a buyer.

not much in it really, if the bottom end needs a rebuild the top end is only worth $1000 give/take.

Bottom end really isn't worth much at all in rebuild condition

Send engine to Paul(R racing or something) forged bottem end rebuild around 6k nisture your ecu for $220 + around $500 for tuning. Stock injectors and stock AFMs should be fine for your power level.

Find a set of r34 N1 turbos seen them go for 1k and if you can afford it nitto oil pump.

If you can remove and refit your own engine you will save a heap of $$$.

Be it myself I would change plan to -7s, get a good used motor, do a 100k service on it including a clutch, put it in and leave it at stock boost until I can afford to do more.

Admittedly that would require me accepting a final outcome of 300kw atw and no more, yet that would also overcome future overheads of the endless list of modifications needed to justify the use of -5s.

I would agree with -9s as Ash said however am of the opinion they warrant AFM's + Injectors when -7s can be utilised (almost) in full without. Thats a saving of ATLEAST $1500, based on experience.

Its the owners call, but a great deal more research is needed before any decisions are made.

You can also get -9s without upgrading AFM and injectors, just keep the boost level down.

In your case, get s/hand motor, get wreckers/seller to do compression motor if it is within 5-10psi of each cylinder go for it.

Last time I went to OH, it changed to panel beater now, was couple of weeks ago.

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
