Hey guys

I own a 32 gtr and the engine has recently given up on me. I'm looking at rebuilding it but would like to know what preferred parts manufacturer are good. Obliviously HKS, JUN, TOMEI etc are top quality but I would like to know what other brands people have used and recommend.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

It depends on what you want the motor for, how much you can afford and how long you are prepared to take.

These people do good work:

Or more realistically:

But more realistically there are places who do exchange motors, places who will promise to build them for you and just about any other service you can imagine. There is also an almost limitless range of gear and opinions to go with it.

So maybe start by sharing what you want to do with the car.

Still would like to keep it for the street no intentions of racing with it. Money isn't too much of a problem but I don't want to spend big. Would like the bottom rebuilt and then while the head is off I'm considering upgrading the cams, valves, springs etc

Thanks for the reply I will look at the website. Cheers

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
