Recommended Posts

can someone please help me out. i have a 1992 r32 GTS (non-turbo). the timing belt has slipped and it seems my

engine is stuffed. so i am looking for someone who knows their stuff that could recondition/repair it. if anyone

knows of any place in melbourne that does this sort of stuff with skyline engines can they please reply, as i want

to get a few quotes from people who know what they're doing before going through with it. so far i have been

offered a fairly high price, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

i'm with just cars... i pay $600 /yr

and can't afford any more than that

(and that's only 3rd party too)

...how much would it cost me all up to put that engine in?

i do want to get some quotes on repairing/reconditioning my engine too though and then compare and decide...

i'd rather get my engine rebuilt new than get a used one (as it may have been thrashed...etc)

not sure... i would say that it would probably cost more as u would have to pay for a new engine (unless doxxeh feels nice and wants to sell it for a couple of bucks :D) etc

worth a look tho man

u could try ICE in dissik st cheltenham for a quote... generally deal in Hi Performance cars like lines etc.

im sure there are others

i couldn't find ICE in the yellowpages uner "engine reconditioning"...can you pls give me a phone number? thanks

do a search in this forum for ICE and u will find em...

cant remember the number and stuff... someoen made a post last week looking for their contact details so it should pop up in the search.

1 more thing... there was a limited number of R32s released with the RB25DE if im not mistaken which also proves they should swap over quite easily in the way of room.

try www.meggala.com one of the locals webpages... should be lots of info on lines and stuff.

it says at http://www.meggala.com/meggalacomnew/frames1.htm

that the RB20DE is a free reving engine. so does this mean that if the cam belt slips, the engine should not be damaged? could the ppl i took it to to have it looked at be shifty and just saying that?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
