RB26 Short Motor $2800!! Perfect rebuild kit for an engine suffering the dreaded spun bearing saga or just somebody wanting forged internals for a steal!

Price includes Engine Block, Long Nose Crank (>1000kms old), Precision Motorsport H Beam conrods (http://www.precision...otorsports.html)and Arias 86.5mm forged pistons only (no ancillaries / sump etc).

The engine block has suffered a very small split inbetween No 3 and 4 cylinder which has been repaired using Irontite. Initial indications were a few drips of coolant under the car after shutdown, then the repair was carried out and it hasn’t leaked since. I am selling simply because in the race application I use the car for, it will not last the season and hence I need to replace it. Engine is still in car and running, interested parties are welcome to hear it running if need be.

Cheers,

Andrew

willing to separate and send crank only to sydney

Hi mate,

not at this stage, the engine is still useable in its current build state. I would if I have buyers for rods and pistons.

Is it possible to get photos of the repair? Leaking only water? Thanks

Ben,

Here is an image of when it first leaked. This was when hot and cooling system pressurised.

Hi -

Engine is still in car and running - will not be removed until bottom end is sold. Would still prefer a buyer for the bottom end complete, however if I were to split it crank $950 rods $700 pistons $700. Will not be splitting or dismantling till all is sold.

Cheers

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
