Russco Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 so nobody knows if gavin does the engine work himself? Gavin's place is a normal mechanic-type workshop, he may assemble engines there but all machining, honing etc would be outsourced to specialist machining workshops like JHH, John White Race Engines etc. I have no idea who he uses.

Bobjones Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I had my engine rebuilt at Peninsula Mechanical Repairs. They have normal mechanical, but also an inhouse engine rebuilder and diff and gearbox specialist. They also do alot of 4wD work as well. They have built quite a few engines including RB30ET's etc etc They do send some work to a specialist machinist if required who comes highly recommended by alot of the guys in Redcliffe. Name escapes me at the moment. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82149-gavin-woods-for-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1494879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zymotic Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 http://english.auto.vl.ru/auctions/ they are actual sale prices too in USD, I've just converted to AUD and added an arbitrary $11k to get car on road in Aus. Think it would be reasonably close ie within 1k provided there are no nasty surprises or labour charges for removing non standard parts.

knore Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hmm hard decision; Save 40K, spend 15k on descent working 32gtr then pour 25k into it or series 3 r33 GTR im leaning more for the lata option, then again things can change in the next year or 2, Evo9 at $55k is fairly tempting plus im waiting for an official price on the next GTR :confused: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82149-gavin-woods-for-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1495669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put $30k in to shares or something, and in 5 years time buy a house, a car, a boat etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82149-gavin-woods-for-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-1495757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
