No I'm not trolling whatever the hell that is, was just weighing up the pro's and cons of buying an RB26 powered skyline,( I thought they were on par with the 1jzgte) as for the 1 and 2jz engines headgasket popping is pretty much non existent, whoever told you this is incorrect, definitely for the 7mgte powered vehicles not 1 or 2jz's. The main gripe it seems is blocked oil pumps, bearing problems, air flow meter faults, turbo's all causing serious grief valves hitting pistons etc. Also there are more 1jz or 2jz powered vehicles in australia than RB26 cars. And to answer your statement the timing belt, tensioner, was all changed before the engine self destructed ( it doesn't matter now as it has been completely rebuilt) R34 turbo's, new R33 crankshaft, N1 oil and waterpump etc. I am not having a go at anybody's vehicle or their proud ownership in particular, as I love the cars albeit having never owned one and want to be sure to know all the pitfalls of ownership beforehand, to make a long story short it sounds like the best advice is to buy and R32 GTR and put a R34 GTR engine in the car that way you have no oil pump issues, steel wheel turbo's and less mechanical damage internally. I was just under the misapprehension that these engines were fairly bulletproof like the toyotas.

God have never seen so many rebuilt RB26's, was considering buying an R32GTR, but now I think I'll change my mind, coming from mainly toyota 3SGTE, 1JZ, 2JZ powered engines who's only failures is ceramic turbine wheels falling off, no big end or oil pump problems and can handle 500whp all day every day. By the way my brothers immaculate stock as a rock R32GTR put a valve into number 1 piston taking off from the lights ( sedately) he only had the car for 3 months, turns out he had to rebuild the whole engine crank, pistons, head shavings went through the whole motor etc. The car was a direct import from japan and he only uses the best oils and is meticulous in every thing mechanical, but you never know what these jap fellows did with their oil changes. They are amazing engines RB26's just not as reliable as 1jz or 2jz's.
