For sale or swap I have a complete R34 GTR engine. It is complete from intake plenum, turbo's and dumps, and block to sump. Engine mounts are included. I have a 2 genuine R34 front pipes here too if needed. No power steering pump or AC compressor.

The engine has around 95,000km on it, and was removed when I fitted my RB315DETT. I have bolted the engine into my engine test rig and will compression test and hot run it if anyone wants to see it run.

Location: Cairns, QLD

I can arrange freight to anywhere no problem and can mount the engine to a pallet for transport.

Asking price is $8000, not including freight.

The reason I am selling is that I am preparing to build a version 3 of my open deck engine, and it would be a shame to disassemble a perfectly good engine and then overbore a virgin 86mm bore R34 block, and then have to part out the parts I dont need.

So, for swaps here is what I am after:

At least 1 R34 GTR block and R34 sump with ALL the accessories. So that is the (original cradle, main bolts, water fittings, oil squirters, AC bracket, engine mount stalks, power steering bracket, turbo oil lines and all the coolant hard lines). I would prefer the sump already have a high octane or racepace extension welded onto it.

Next is the cylinder head. Specifically I am after a bad ass RB26 ported head with R34 spec cams running at least 10mm lift, step 1 springs and 260-272 duration (no larger). The heads must be complete, from plenum/throttle bodies thru to the exhaust manifolds. I need cam covers, idle control valves, cam sensor, all the hard lines, rubber breather hoses, the works.

I will also need a sets of cam gears (os giken, tomei or trust).

If you know any workshops that have what I need lying and would like to have a good spare motor in exchange, please pass on the word.

Call me on 0434 147 478 if your interested in making a deal, or prepare a detailed list of what you have and PM it to me.

I'll put up some pics tomorrow and have some compression test results by then as well.

Cheers,

Ian.

Hot ran and compression tested the engine today. Results were all 155-160psi.

Pictures and video attached.

The engine is running rough but the main thing is that its running on all cylinders. The rough tune is because I had to build a base map from scratch, and it is only tuned by ear. I havent got a wideband sensor on the test rig at the moment as it is in someone elses car.

Call or email me if your interested.

I can attest to the condition of this engine. it's my old car and was standard it's whole life in japan. I bought it with log books etc in japan from a mature owner. it was standard right down to standard boost, standard exhaust etc. 100% no mods at all and always serviced properly and on time. certainly has plenty of life in it yet. :)

+1 saw this is the flesh when I dropped off the RB26 bottom end to Ian so he could start his RB31 stroker. The whole thing is immaculate.

Will be a very good pick up

would you take 6 grand cash? and are they steel wheel turbos?

No thats too cheap. Turbo's are standard ceramics.

With the exception of the power steering and AC pumps it is a 100% complete engine. From intake plenum to front pipe, cam covers to diff.

Hi Ian, you rolled all the way from Cairns to SAU Nats in Shep and back again.

You could have at least bought this RB26 down and put a for sale sticker on it ;)

Alas there was no room in the car for a second engine. I would have liked to take back a few engine blocks for the next project too, but the boot was full.

Thanks. Funny thing is I nearly missed the track day, having slept in by mistake. I was a little tired after the drive down !

On to Business. Bump! The engine is still up for grabs.

BUT! I am now accepting offers for the internals. I will consider removing the head and sump, and selling just the block and internals if someone needs a quick repair for their blown up R34 engine.

Alternatively I am prepared to strip it and sell the internals off seperately. I don't want to start breaking it up until someone takes the crankshaft though.

Up for grabs are:

R34 Crankshaft $1200

Standard Harmonic balancer $200

Rods + Pistons $500

Standard oil pump $200

Standard turbo's $500

R34 GTR Dumps $200

R34 GTR Standard front pipe. $100

Regarding pricing for these parts, I am negotable and especially interested in part swaps as part of the deal. Just PM me (don't post your offer in the thread).

I am keeping everything else with the intention of building the next version of my open deck engine. But If someone needs a virgin 05U R34 block and has an un-cracked block with light bore damage (or 3) I'll consider a swap. Im pretty keen on keeping the genuine block though, so the original serial numbers will match what was in the car from factory.

That is all.

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
