Do you guys know how the RB26 block holds up after sleeving?? and what horse power would the block handle after sleeving :goddam:

Depends on the quality of the sleeves themselves and the machining quality. As for power I have seen a sleeved RB26 make 1300 ps.:cheers

Technically Keir Wilson + John Munro have got sleeved blocks, Keir's reported over 600kw at the wheels. Althought that's a bit off 1300ps.. Wonder how John's doing with his new methanol guzzling dry sumped motor?

DB, wins a chocolate frog for the right answer :rolleyes:

Yes, the OS 3 Litre engine has a sleeved block, but much more engineering involved in sleeving all six & running a spacer plate due to the longer stroke. These engines are a work of art. Would seem simpler to me (if just looking to fix an RB26) to just buy a new N1 block & be done with it(thats what I have done on my street GTR)

As far as my "methanol guzzling" 3 litre goes - it has only guzzled about 1 litre so far - just been started to bring up oil pressure. The car is waiting for a few finishing touches ( as the $$$ allows - bit limited lately), but will hopefully be fired in anger before the end of the year.

I read, heard, dreamt(??) that you balanced the brand new engine prior to running it?

Was this not already done by OSG?

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
