Hey Guys,

Would you be able to recommend any workshops that specialise in the R32 GTR / RB26 in the USA? For engine building, maintenance and dyno tuning

Location does not matter.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

I can't really say there's a shop known to "specialize" in RBs here in the US. They're pretty rare over here since Skylines weren't legal until recently. RB swaps are more common but still few and far between.

I know of a few shops with RB experience on the West Coast and a couple on the East. It would be easier to answer your question if you specified a region of the States since as I said there really isn't a particular shop renowned for RB tuning. R35 GT-Rs I can rattle off good shops till you die of boredom, R32s not so much.

You guys don't have good sr tuners around? I'm sure someone that has dabbled in imports or the 240sx that you have over there would be able to find their way around a 32.

Imagine if someone went over and made a dedicated skyline workshop. Probably make a killing with the influx of rb's coming in.

The SR20 was never offered here from the factory either so any cars with them are swaps. The 240SX here came with the KA24 which is basically a truck engine lol. There are lots of shops that can suss out both the SR and RB but very few that can really be said to specialize in them. There's plenty of SR and RB swapped cars here but compared to the huge number of cars with factory powerplants - VG, VQ, VR, etc - they're a very small fraction so most shops specialize in the more common ones and do the oddball imports on the side.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
