Hey mate,

My VTIR is the last of the Prelude i.e. Gen 5.. which are worth approx 17k (there abouts there's a few in canberra for sale around that figure)

I've seen R32's (non turb) for around the 10 figure..

I'd be willing to sell my Prelude for $16,500. The figure is neg a bit. but depends if the buyers is serious..

Dont have an R32 non turbo but I'd consider buying your car if it were at a reasonable price.

A R32 na = maybe 5-10g

+ 6g?

Too much 4 me i'm thinking.

The only ACTSAU na owner that I know is Dayne (R33 - RB20) but I'm pretty sure he wants to hang on to that...

NSW isnt that far away?

Neither is VIC?

Come to think of it. Freight trains pass through most of the major citys??? Try going national dude.

OR

Just sell it and buy an R32 with the cash.

I know its easier said to sell mine and then buy, but quite difficult to do!

But i'd also be interested in a NA R33 again same thing, minor cash adj.

there are some cheap gts-t R32's out there, but they are quite far away!

so a turbo is prob out of the question.

Most people probably wont like this but I have to say it.... Good luck mate, I dont think you'll find anyone keen on that deal as even nonturbo Skylines have much more tuner potential than a Honda prelude, Skylines are cheaper and easier to modify and alot prettier then Preludes and even if your not into modding it they are still a better all round car, Preludes were designed as a semi luxury semi sports car and theyre not even on par with Skylines...

Just my opinion, but good luck anyway! :)

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
