Hey i'm gonna put a GTR engine in my car, give me sum advice please ppl. And how much u guys think my exist engine worth? it's done 80k, i regularly service, timin belt, no oil leak anywhere at all...ICE Performance reckon it worth ONLY about $1500.

What's the better option? do the exist rb25det up or throw it out and rb26dett in?

Thanks guys.

well dunno about engines, but it may be right as you can buy a whole front 1/2 cut for $2500-3000 although price vary and depends on demand and availability at times when you buy or sell them... also depends on condition n milage of your engine.

GTR engine still cost $6000 up I think... so you're left with $4500 changeover... with that sort of money think of what you can put in your car, upgrade your engine or turbo, fmic, etc... well its your choice...

and don't forget if you put RB26DETT in your car, you need a GTR ECU as well, either you get factory from wreckers or maybe included in the engine if it comes in a package, or you get PowerFC which will set you back a further $1300-2000 depend if you get it 2nd hand or new...

with all the money ur gonna spend on the engine and fitment and all the other minor headaches like wiring looms and what have u I'd strengthen the RB25DET, like cooler, ecu, turbo, bottom end forgies fuel pump injectors will have u a very quick car might cost u a couple grand over, but remember the RB26 is obviously gonna be standard which means ur gonna have to make it quicker, more money on top of that... plus ur line is rwd which aint gonna be that much quicker than the RB25DET....just my opinion in the end its ur car do what u like bud... :P

that car at calder last nite with the rb26dettran a 13.8 he had the r2 gtr motor in it .. i was talking to him.. he spent 5 grand on that motor and olnt managed to get a 13.8 out of it,, ( heheh and i managed at 14.1 with a stocky rb25det hahahah)

if i were u i would get the rb30 bottom end and bolt on ur heads

u would probly gain more power that way

If you buy the standard GTR motor and drop it into a GTS-T it won't drop the 1/4 mile time too much!, also its a whole package that brings down the times not just the motor. i.e driver skill, car weight, traction and engine and so on..

But the RB26DETT is a stronger base and it responds to mods very well!, with good tuning and resonable bolt on mods there is no reason that a good streetable 500hp can be achived without touching the bottom end, try getting 500hp with the standard RB25DET bottom end!

So for the long run I would (and I am) fit the GTR motor and mod it when you can afford it. (as there is only so far that you can take the RB25!)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
