as it states guys where is your go to supplier for hardware these days this thread would be great for anyone on here doing the same as me (building a tough rb26) or planning to build who wants to know where they can get good products at a good price.

I got most of my parts a few years ago imported from states for less than half what we pay here

thanks for that info man can we get some names of mobs please !!

What do you want? Bottom end? Top end? Bolt ons?

Really you are better off doing your own research and getting what you want

You might want to buy aussie made (spool or nitto) or you might want to go for Japanese parts

I bought all my gear from Real Street Performance in the US.

Prices were yeah, half or less.

Can even get JB Precisions for like 1k delivered. My cams were like $400, rods $400... Everything was dirt cheap and I was able to build a much better quality engine as a result.

ARP stuff (ie head/main studs, rod bolts) is heaps cheaper from the states then from here

engine hardware for a build is what im chasing at the moment i have been re searching just asking around thats all !!!! no harm im sure other people would like to know aswel

Just went through Jesse streeter in Japan for my tomei oil pump. 1300 delivered. Your best bet is to shop around ,some prices here in Australia can be pretty good.

thanks again

I like to try and support Aussie business where I can but when the price difference is that big what can you do.

I buy my stuff from the net, mainly the US and Japan. There isn't one company I would say I'm partial too, each company tends to have the best prices on different things. Can find a lot of good stuff on ebay too haha. Sometimes you'll get hit with GST with items over $1000aud. Some places sort of fudge the value hahha

Heya guys,

I used http://www.rawbrokerage.com/ for my last RB26 rebuild. Cheapest OE gasket kit by far (nearly half price incl delivery) and cheap Tomei Poncams (~$500 at the time)

Ebay is good for piston/rod/bearings.

Mark :)

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
