Sorry about no reply guys, had the last page left open and was just refreshing waiting for a reply. I thought I'd already been shunned.. :P

What do you guys think I should advertise for? Im open to reasonable offers..

wont get much for it. Did the work shop get it running? cant remember sorry.

Edit: Went back and read it again. I havent kept an eye on the current prices but look for one thats in similar condition see what they are selling it for then drop the price of a swop off.

Eg: say they are selling for $17k, a motor cost $6 advertise it for $12k but be people will bargin you down.

pfffftttt you dont need a skyline to hang, im proof of that.

keep putting on beers and BBQs and between SAU lads you could prob get it rebuilt :cheers:

1 engine + shed + bbq and beer = one gtr going.

Like all maths its simple when you know the formula.

However if you need to sell then you need to. good luck wish i had time spare to get one myself.

tthere is a nice sounding RB26 for sale atm in the for sale section, all new seal, rwd sump, so u can sell that for a pretty penny, use ur sump, 6G, a few cartons of piss, snags and loafs of bread, be done in a sunday, i put my motor in by my self and bolted it up in 1-2 hours on a sat morning before footy. would be worth having a look,

then ebay ur motor with "running perfect" and be done with it

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
