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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
