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

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
