Um........ my 31 has a forged engine with multilayered head gasket To4e, external gate, Nisstune ecu, 440cc injectors, adjust FPR and a whole bunch ov other crap and was all done a Collier engines in adelaide for 6,000 with records..... so thats y everyone seems to question your 5000 to reco an rb20.

A VRS kit cost about 200 bux from motor traders and even with timing tensioner kit proly 500 for both then a few hundred for metal HG and while u doing the Head gasket u can slap in the seals from the vrs kit would take no more than 10 hours of work if u did it slow as f**k and even if u charged $100 per hour lab job would cost no more than 1500 - 2000 for rb20 so please expalin what the other 3000 was spent on so we can ALL understand.

^^ exactly. paying 5 grand to put a metal head gasket and a recod head on an rb20 is f**kin ridiculous

mate no argument its priced well, but when you state things like its had 5000 bux worth of work done,

it rings alarm bells in most peoples heads and makes us wonder IF it really has had that work done why is it so cheap? and it makes no sense 5000 for a head job and new seals on an RB20??

i have a 6000 dollar engine in my car and there would be no way in hell i would get rid of it at 10% of its value,

so im in the same seat as everyone else what has really happened to this engine for it to hav 5000 spent on it and the only upgrade was a head gasket

oh my gosh some people must have never stopped pushing pencils for a second to see what labour costs.

for example. to replace all the exhaust manifold studs on an rb20 with the motor still in the car your looking at close to $1000.

$$$ really do add up quickly.

for exapmle, i ifitted extractors to a triton the other day, it was meant to be a $400 job, by the time the guy left my shop he was up over $1000, when i undid the manifold, every second stud would the thread out of the alloy. so i had to helicoil all the studs and fit new studs.

it may cost $700 in parts to do the work that was done to the rb20 but labour is the killer~!!!

AND THE REASON THE MOTOR IS BEING SOLD IS BECAUSE IM PUTTING A 1JZ IN MY SKYLINE SO I DONT NEED THE RB20. FAAAAARK

Thanks for telling us all about the size of your dick mungy.Would you like to know the specifics of my personal build as well? why doe we need to know about yours in this thread when im selling mine? you obviously have no interest in buying my motor so gtfo of the thread.

how bout ring me up if your genuinely interested,?!?!?!!?

dont have scanner, can read receipts to you over phone and give them to you when you buy it.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
