Hi guys,

I have a forged Rb26 bottom i need to sell. I had some big intentions with this engine but as in the car scene some people loose interest others have priorities; i have both. I began slowly sourcing parts to build me a strong engine but the costing of the completed build has made me realize im pissing against the wind. I have managed to source another complete engine and i just want my car back on the road. As in the topic its brand new and it comes with;

Rb26 block; honed, decked, new welsch plugs and professionally cleaned

Crank; balanced and has standard size ACL race bearings

Pistons; Cp forged with standard bore size

ROds; Eagle with standard size ACL race bearings

Studs; ARP conrod bolts and main stud kit

My price is $2500 for the whole setup and im happy for anyone to bring along their measuring tools to conduct their own measuring tests. I can ship Australia wide but at buyers expense. Im best contacted on 0408578627

If anyone else is interested in one, I also have a Built Rb26 bottom end, the car only has 23000Klms on it, but the internals have less,work completed and the car garaged 5 years ago BUT only 3000Klms on the car since the work .

RB 26 Block

New Nissan RB26 crank

JE/Nitto RB26 forged pistons

Nitto H beam connecting rods

ACL race bearings main/big end

Engine rebuild Hand filed rings with Dummy assemble and measure

Machine work on engine block

and whatever else left over from a RB30/26 Nitto 3.2 build

If you are interested you could also PM me, I will get more info from the builder as I do not know what else will be discarded with the build.

I would have to get the builder to give me a quality report on it or you could go and have a look, I am sure it would be OK.

I will ask the builder for a fair price for it and post it ASAP or an offer may be accepted

spoke to the mechanic at CRD and he said as it has only just been run in $4500 would be a fair price but fair and what you get are two different things,haha

Any of the other left over bits can go with it

You could have a look at it if you want?

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
