Have a spare Rb26dett engine ($3k)

Complete, only things missing are air flow meters and computer

Good condition and good compression

No longer needed as I have a rebuilt engine ready to go into my race car if it blows up (this engine was a spare that I never used as the car is still going strong)

Engine was removed from a running car that was imported and stripped for spares

Come and inspect it, inappropriately touch it, and buy it

Located in Lower Blue Mountains Sydney

I also have a complete Gtr head with intake and exhaust with a wiring loom for sale $1500, perfect for an Rb30 conversion

i am quite keen on this, you say complete so i take it stock turbos are attached? Im still contemplating the reliability on these old 32 26's with out a rebuild. Your probly the right person to ask, How much would i bee looking at to get this "forged" to hold a reliable 300kw all day every day

The engine itself will hold 300kW with an awesome tune quite well. The rods are good for that and the pistons will last if the tune is right. Its more a question of how warn is the engine, are the rings fried, does the head need to be reconditioned etc.

The biggest issue is the oiling system in these. Thats the big one to be sorted, and how to sort it depends on what the car is to be used for.

Really, you could get away with forged pistons, new bearings, an acid bath and hone, basic head rebuild, metal head gasket, arp head studs, but spend your money on a crank collar, good harmonic balancer and either an N1 pump with billet gears or a high flow jap oil pump such a Tomei unit with a correctly sized restrictor in the block. If its for track use, fit a large sump, mines baffle plates etc.

That would have you a good setup. But you wont see much, if any change from $6k. I'm currently up to $5k and that doesn't include bearings, ANYTHING head related, just pistons, rods, harmonic balancer, an an oil pump, no labour for anything yet either. Thats with the best of the best gear though.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
