r32 engine recondition/repair


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.

looking forward to ur help.

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?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
