Hey guys just wondering if any1 knows the rough cost of removing an engine and replacing it with another one? My engines dead in my 33. Deano, Leewah, im looking in your direction!!

Also its an RB25DET thats getting taken out of the GTS-t, but is there more costs involved to fit an RB26? ( i smells a project car coming on!!......And its all you SAU guys that are bad influences fault :P )

ey bro..

u want the whole car gone?? or just the motor...

either way .. i can do both..

PM me.. my cousin in newport can set u up good!

Sorry Haboob! Wulla, Well-eh.. that is so funny! and then to read you sign/avatar =lebvile "altona/newport"?? NO WAY! I DONT BELIEVE IT! You Cuz in Newport.. His name isn't Nik Nik Adma Fik :rant:

I don't think he wants to do an Insurance job, habib! I think he wants to remove/replace his motor :)

on the mark MeshMesh, even if i was just chucking in another RB25 it shouldnt be $1000 should it?? Seems a bit expensive, i thought maybe around th $500 mark.

R32Big_Boy, i would love to do that, but i have REALLY bad luck :P (actually i think its only with THIS car, the f*kn jynx!)

PS: I know there will be other costs, like new dump pipes need to be made and cooler piping and computer, im just after a rough cost on just dumping and fitting.

Thanks on the responses fellas! :):D:)

Organise a weekend meet at my place......bring labour and skyline lovers and I reckon I have the gear (hoist, welders, bench grinders and drills etc) to get it on the road. Haven't pulled an engine in weeks....getting withdrawals. Only cost to you is your parts.......I'm free.

Make sure Ash comes so we can plagarise off his fit...hell he can organise a cruise to my place that is like a used car yard most of the time anyway. In South morang, just past Mill Park.

You could easy change an engine in less then a day your self. Pulled out my engine about a hour and a halfs work, chopped up the sump on the gtr engine and had it sitting in the engine bay in around a full day. Its a piece of piss! Making the new piping for the gtr engine was a bit of a hasle thou. Take up geoff's offer!

geoff... i have an R32, an RB25, PowerFC and a TD06 kit and soon an intercooler kit and oil cooler kit... and workshop manuals for both R33 and R32 in japanese (I can translate). I'm willing to take you up on the offer. I'm 3 blocks away from South Morang (hehe edge of Mill Park). How does July/August sound to you? I wanna learn during the process as well, so I'm willing to do most of the work, just need some space to disassemble and the equipment.

sorry for the Hijack

me? plagarise what?

The japs did my conversion in Japan. I know nothing.

But yer, i can do a cruise :) w000000000000000000000t

But yeah, $1000 to pull, put back a motor... of the SAME type.

if your gonig RB26 it'll cost you a lot more.

sounds like a good plan. I'll keep the garage clear. I have no car work to do cos the missus won't let me get a PFC until the tax cheque is in. :whip: So I refuse to race until then and the car is choking on too much fuel with the GTR pump.

Ash

just want to plagarise of your fittings instead of reinventing the whole thing.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • 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.
