Rb 26 Rebuild

[gtr_23qu]

hey guys i need some help i have recently found out some either really good or really bad new this week still not too sure yet but basically we pulled the head off and looked down the bores and 2 of the cylinders have marks that you cal feel with your finger nails...looked and the head and the same valves for those cyclinders had a white colouration to them im guessing it ment they were leaning out?

anyway im looking at a full rebuild plus machining and all that for the bottom end i was wondering on your opinions i was thinking forged bottom end but i am new to this so if i can get some help it would be fantastic....i was thinking westend performance in campbelltown for the machining and im from wollongong there is a couple of good engine shops down here but if i can get some ideas on shops or combos that would help alot thanks guys will post photos and stuff of the stock gear and the build along the way

These days for what it's costs to build a 26, doing a 30 with the right parts gets a much better result and cost around the same.

[XKLABA]

really depends on your budget and the direction you want to take your car, like i said before, the cheapest and easiest way is probley to just buy a complete engine and drop it in, you can get them for around $3500 and $4000 or....

there is a 2.7 jun stroker kit for sale in the for sale section just needs a set of pistons which would work good for you since you are going to have to boreout your block to get rid of scoing so you can just buy what ever size pistons you need after you find out how far you have to bore it or....

i remember seeing a built 3ltr i there some where aswell ready for a 26 head.

^^^Provided the crank is damage free and straight don't forget

For an item like that I'd want it independently verified as good condition

[BLITZ-26]

just rebuilt my RB26 i have a lot of parts but all up was $6000 so i would factor in about that kind of money without buying parts like pump rods etc

[DVS JEZ]

8k rebuild plus turbo's and injectors.

Or 2nd hand motor 3500 + turbos = same result

[Deano 1]

all comes down to what power you plan to make, 300kw just put a stocker back in it, 400+kw than build it, budget 8-10k and be ready to buy another gearbox becasue they dont last long at 400kw : D

[T04GTR]

just buy my one

hey boys look like i have sourced a r34 n1 nur engine will let you no how i go but its too good to pass up

[DVS JEZ]

Definately get Aarons one. Like i said on the phone it would be an awesome buy and with turbo's etc will work out the same cost as a rebuild without the headaches

I can tell you about that engine. I bought and installed that into the car. I can assure you it's 100% genuine R34 N1 Nur engine. I purcahsed it brand new from nissan in japan. had it fitted to the R32. and then imported it. I sold the car to aaron a couple of years ago and he's been a very fastidious owner ever since. I don't know what he's asking for it but I know what it cost. if it's anything around $5K it's a steal. it's very low km and will handle plenty of power.

[gtr_23qu]

ok sweet how long did you own this motor and how many kms did it travel with you?yea i have read they can handle like 600hp but if i can get anywhere over 300kw atw ill be happy and obviously wind it down for normal daily driving to around 220kw i think that should help the motor last a lil longer but yea giving the mechanic a call today about it and hopefully pick it up next weekend providing its all good....

i did however find this for a bottom end rebuild would you guys care to comment please?

I would have to check when exactly I purchased the motor (possibly 2009?). I bought it brand new from nissan kokura (japan) and it was checked and installed by Prime Garage (built cars like Yoshioka's D1 car, Super GT cars etc). I had the car for not long, maybe 1 year and I would say travelled less than 2,000kms on it. It was treated very well when I had it and I'm sure treated just as well when Aaron had it. He was a fastidious buyer (had the car and engine thoroughly checked before he bought it off me) and a very careful owner. Aaron probably has some pics etc from when I had it installed. i'm pretty sure I passed them on to him.

[Beer Baron]

just checked, it was about June 2009 it was built. I also bought brand new R34 n1 turbos for it too. it also has tomei 1.2mm head gasket, and the head was expertly ported by Tetsuya at prime garage. From memory it had the inlet manifold etc port matched too. also fitted brand new injectors, brand new R34 crank angle sensor, 6 brand new genuine coil-packs, and ignition transistor unit (over $1200 just for those 2 bits). also had brand new N1 crank damper fitted, all new hoses etc too. Also has tomei timing belt and other gaskets. Just checked my bills, total was about $20K for the engine work, the engine, and fitting.

The car itself was immaculate too. I still have the old engine I removed from it to make way for the nur engine. That engine was still in perfect health too. If aaron doesn't have the receipts for it I still have copies I can give him.

Good price for a rebuild it with the dearest parts in it. Will handle more power then you intend to throw at it.
