Hey guys,

Just putting this expression of interest out there for a long block.

The engine was built by Advan Performance Centre in NSW and was a no expense spared build.

The engine is a 1996 S2 RB25 and was rebuilt with the following specifications:

BLOCK

- R34 GTR N1 crankshaft to bring engine capacity to 2.6L

- H beam Carillo connecting rods

- Mahle forged pistons

- N1 Oil pump

- N1 Water pump

- ACL Pro Series bearings

- New welsh plugs, gaskets etc. done during build

HEAD

- HKS metal headgasket

- HKS 264 degree intake and exhaust camshafts with VCT removed

- HKS Cam gears

- HKS Valve Springs

- HKS Timing Belt

- New seals, guides, valves etc. done during build

- Oil restrictors

- ARP Head Studs

- Machining, porting and polishing all carried out by Advan Performance Centre

This is a big HP engine built to withstand the 700HP and 8000RPM limiter is runs all day long. Engine has now done just under 20,000km and is healthy as ever. Only ever run on Motul Chrono 10W40.

* Currently the car is making between 360-390rwkw on BP98 on 1.5-1.6BAR of boost pressure through a GT3540R in a R33 GTST. The car is an absolute animal when it comes on and is a real handful to keep straight.

The engine is still in the vehicle so can be test driven if required. I'm hoping not to pull the motor out until I have a buyer interested but will see how I go.

Asking $8000 for the long block but I am open to reasonable offers if the price doesn't seem fair.

If some one wanted the complete engine setup with manifolds, turbo etc. I would be open to discuss that as well.

The car has run a low 11 second pass with this package in street trim on a shitty track. Put the engine into a VL or a S chassis and you have a 10 second car.

Any one that has done an engine build like this through a well known workshop knows how much money gets put into these builds and the brand new parts alone are worth more than what I'm asking for the engine so I think it is fair.

If there is any more info I can think of I will update the thread. Just quickly writing it up so I may have missed something!

Thanks guys.

Phil

Will give a free bump as well. Seen this package in its early days after build and it sounded like a f**king mental angry chainsaw on crack! Would be a perfect buy for someone looking to save a few dollars

Engine is two years old and has done approx 18,000km. Didn't keep any receipts unfortunately.

I'm planning on dropping the sump off and taking photos of the crank, rods and pistons though to show proof of the internals.

If some one just wanted the bottom end I will seperate if need be.

Won't seperate the head until I have a buyer for the bottom end though as the head/cams will be quite easy to sell.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
