Engine sitting awaiting its head to be sent off for porting and block/internal inspection.

I was told by the previous owner that the car had an ATI balancer turns out this was a lie not happy.

Ati balancers are very visible so it's fairly easy to check if they are there...

Regardless, you can buy one from the states for around $600 delivered

Well to be honest i was a GT-R noob who only knew the basics.. i have much more knowledge now. I have already purchased an 1000hp ATI balancer which is on its way.

true, but to be told something from the previous owner that is just a straight up lie isn't much fun.

True that. Especially after he says im the "X SAU President of SA, i dont take short cuts..". Oh well shit happens at the end of the day i still got my self a very good car for the price i paid for it.

so your going the 2.7 stroker, that is still the only one they make for the 26 isn't it?

Epic power will result, i really think you are being a little modest looking to make 500kw with an SPL, when that is achievable with the KAI. Great looking 32 you have

Looks like a crazy build, good luck, cant wait to see it finished, will be keeping an eye on this thing

Cheers mate, i cant wait for it. I miss driving thig so much i cant put it into words lol.

Well ive been offered to be a test car for Nitto's new 2.8 stroker kit so im weighing up my options. Im trying to not over hype myself with a huge power figure goal lol. But yeah 500+ ON ALL FOUR not rwkw is the goal. And thanks for the compliment.

  • 4 months later...

Good news: I got myself a Nitto 2.8 stroker kit + N1 Block.


Bad news: Shane aka RBWARE is a lier.



Im very disapointed and angry right now Shane aka RBWARE.


When you sold me this car you advertised it with the following modifications.


ENGINE

Forged pistons and HKS Cams

Complete re-built head w/copper head gasket

Motor balanced, blueprinted and crank tested

Baffled sump


Upom inspecting the block before the sale we see that the following are stock standard.


Standard Rods

Standard Rod Nuts and Studs

Standard Main Studs

Standard Head Studs

Standard Cams


The block has not been balanced the heads have not been rebuilt.


I purchased the car under the impression that it was fully built. I wanted to resolve this privately but RBWARE has blocked me for some reason unknown to me. So mate send me a PM. Cause you have to answer to me.

Oooohhhhh that is so f@rked up!!!!

So disappointing hearings things like that.

I like your build 500kw at all fours is insane!

Despite all the bullsh!t you went / going through, I hope you keep going with what you want.

Cheers mate. Yea it is quiet dissapointing seeing that the previous owber was the former SAU presidebt for SA. Also boasting about how ge doesbt take shortcuts..

Anyway my build is still on. The target is minimum 500awkw we are aiming for 1000hp at the engine. So im not sure if should go full 5 or 4 inch exhaust. I will post pics as soon as the kit and bloxk arrives.

You can't blame your self, it wasn't exactly a random seller. Being a president clearly gave him some credibility, all he did was put a big dent in everyone's trust. It was/is a nice car there was no need to false advertise, engine is healthy and would be perfectly fine for 90% of people's use. However this obviously could have ended REALLY bad!!! cant wait to see this thing on the road!!! Keep the progresss flowing mate

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
