Not wow as in big, wow as in that has to be one of the neatest getting around.

thanks mate, just bought it about a month ago, slowly slowly, hopefully it'll see some track time early next year

Oh...

That's not the 33R that blew it motor at Sandown is it? Sold by Bel a month or so ago?

Correct, as I've been pulling the motor apart, I found a decent sized crack in the block behind the alternator. I think it threw a rod in cylinder 1 =/

So yeah it did get track time and hopefully it will get some more track time when I manage to source a motor

you got me =P

In all seriousness, if anybody has a contact or is selling an R33 RB26, with engine number (RB26-059xxx) onwards, please let me know. I'm keen as mustard to get this thing running!

Yeah, I was tracking that same day with him.

What are your plans? Buy a second hand rb26 and put it straight in? or a rebuild?

If your doing a rebuild, feel free to PM me and I can get you a quote

Also have a mate who has a n1 block in his garage that I'm trying to twist his arm to sell it

Edit: just read your above post

Damn...Well yeah, at least the rest of the car is clean and straight as!

Well I'm not gonna rebuild it with this block. Depends what I can get really from now till end of year. If I can find a good 2nd hand one, I'll just do a mild refresh (Cosworth 1.1mm HG, ARP2000 rod bolts, ARP headstuds, oil restrictor, enlarge oil returns, baffled sump, new water pump, N1 oil pump, blah blah blah)

If not, then I'll look for a bare block perhaps N1 like you said, new head, new crank, CP+Eagle combo, Tomei Type B and all the rest of the above plus all the other usual stuff

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
