  1. I got my set off ebay (USA) for rb26dett for $360USD delivered using with Power-fc, not tuned for another week or so

  3. deadset keen on the front fenders (pair) and the front bumper bar. sms message and Pm sent please contact me asap, consider them sold. can pay cash and pickup as soon as you are available. brendan - 0427 803 556
  4. yeah my r32 sedan with rb26dett cost me under 7k. all up fully rebuilt 87mm bottom end, ported head with cams, half-cage, brake upgrade, fuel system upgrade, slicks, track ready cost is around 20k.
  5. I got all my parts myself over a 15 month period, would have loved to pull the engine and do all I could myself, however in my case on a disability pension just isnt possible, unfortunately. Body doesnt allow me to do the work involved in pulling out the engine. Changing the turbo on my rb25 was a big enough job for a mobility-impaired bloke like myself, and I suffered for a good quarter of a year afterwards with chronic pain (more than the usual chronic pain, anyways). If you are able to pull the engine yourself you'll save between 2 to 3grand on engine removal/replacement fee from your mechanic. Plus you'll learn heaps too. Otherwise start buying your parts list, give it all to your mechanic (after getting quotes) and go from there. OR, purchase a used rb26 engine for around $3k. With removal/replacement charges, tune setup etc its still a 6-7k job. I never really considered replacing the engine as its for track work in my instance, preferred a built engine that is fresh over the unknown used engine option. While my budget as a pensioner is very tight, still made it happen. Where there's a will there IS a way. good luck.
  6. amp on back of sub, sub box fits snugly between wheel well and wagon door, passenger side. havent listened to tunes for along time now, love listening to the GT30 instead. considering removing the amp/sub and cd-stacker (under passenger seat) & upgrade the head unit to a mp3 usb unit. I love bass (drum'n'bass, junlge etc) but loving the gt30 spool noise just as much
  7. thanks for the incar video link Dom-z, awesome
  8. running a rb26dett in a r32 gtst sedan, rwd. obviously not the same, but .............. track only car. weakest point in mine would be the gearbox. i know a lot of ppl have done it, personally though if I had an awd gtr I wouldnt change it to rwd. have an awd 250akw stagea and love the awd handling; never want a fwd/rwd road car again!
  9. budget of 8-10k including labour you can buy new garrett 2860-7's for $2200 or rebuild your stock turbos for half that prices below are taken from ebay, include delivery, all new, can find cheaper here and there but gives you an idea of prices arp bolts/studs (head, main) $500 acl race bearings (main, rod, thrust) $250 cometic street pro full gasket set, including head multi layer steel gasket $350 n1 water pump $250 nitto oil pump $1350 or nismo oil pump $1200 (n1 oil pump $400 if you are tight on $$) jun oil pump collar $200 crank collar $100 cp pistons & eagle rod kit $1250 ati harmonic balancer $600 rb26 idler tensioner set $200 rb26 bosch belt set $100 rb26 anodized pulley kit $200 (greddy for $350) rb26 anodized adjustable cam gear pulleys $150 (greddy for $350) thats a minimum of 5k in parts, add in machining, labour costs, and perhaps some head work if budget allows piston #5 in my rb26 was low in comp (ate ceramic turbo wheel, previous owner) on mine. going through all this right at the moment.
  10. very sad to read this: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/no-idea-car-stolen-from-adelaides-cbd-despite-two-000-calls/story-e6frea6u-1226027050712
  11. what colour? perhaps this was the one burnt out last night ? http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/post-office-thieves-torch-getaway-car/story-e6frea83-1226027095242
  12. retarded to -4 is generally the consensus for Rb26 exhaust cam gear setting not too sure on the intake, advanced to +1 or +2 ?
  13. replace 02 sensor, clean air flow meter, install new plugs (bcpre6 $20 for the 6), check cold-start on dyno, retune!
  14. got the pm thanks; most likely wont be there - have house inspection (selling) on sunday 27th. we'll see......
  15. yeah mine cracked in half around 4yrs ago. sounded like a tractor and had no ooomph. just one of those 'things' that happen
  16. looks like a good job, just the plastic devil pitch-fork looks cheesy sitting within a quality job like that
  17. thats been the ebay price for the past 12months sorry OP not exactly sure myself.
  18. easy-as bash out broken stud with hammer, torque new one back in with wheelnut/greese. undo wheelnut, reinstall wheel. all done
  19. just run a 4"-3" reducer, install the kit and be happy
  20. yup put me down I'll come along
  21. awesome photo!! good luck with it all. wonder how my rb26 rebuild is going?
  22. Please put me down as a "probably / maybe" option. dare say I'll be there as Im at Uni until 6pm in the city. cheers - just me no hangeronerer's
  23. looks awesome for a local turbo option. If I was in the market for a turbo Id be getting one of these..... would be interested in the comparable cost VS a GT3076R. Bolt on of course. ie complete cost to bolt on ready for tune. a custom gt3076r with ported stock nissan comp cover, avo .73ar 6-bolt rear housing, lines etc comes to around $2400 what would the ATR43SS cost, including all lines,bolts,nuts to bolt on ready to go? result looks fantastic to be honest
