This is quite funny. No offence, but you cannot sell an RB20E. The reason is that absolutely no one in their right mind wants one. You might be able to offer to give someone $50 to take it off your hands.

I realise that this will sound mean on top of my advice to you in your engine conversion thread....but that's the facts.

Yuh, they are the nastiest version of the R33, and they were pretty much only imported by mistake. Someone saw an R33 going cheap on a Jap auction site, went ballistic with the buy now button, and 3 months later had a massive let down when it was delivered.

I'm surprised it hasn't already been converted to turbo. The last one I saw in the wild was about 8 or 10 years ago and it was in the process of being (expensively) converted to turbo (having been accidentally bought withotu realising how crap it was!). It's just not worth doing the conversion any more.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. In your other thread I told you it would cost you a lot more, in both time and money, to do an engine, box, diff, brakes and hub upgrade than just to buy a turbo R33 outright. And that is without selling the car you have now. You would have 2 R33s for less money than converting the NA one you have now.

Just drive the RB20E shitter around for a while, save up some coins and buy a GTST when you can. Then either sell the RB20E one (exchange price being about the same as a carton of beer) or keep it in the shed for spare panels when you spin the turbo one into the weeds on a Friday night. Your choice.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
