any1? they're goin 4 around 13.5,14g in the market!!!

i'll get exact dollar info in regards to costs shortly....

Quote includes all of the above. Basically, I give him my GTR with the hammered engine, i get back a car with a working engine and 12 months warranty He said that includes cost of parts, machining, labour (i.e assembly, removal etc.) and oils.

bump :-)

yeah it is cheap..... The second best quote i got was for $2800, some1 in cambellfield. I asked Nismo (they're actually called NISMA) in Sunshine, he wanted 4g. I suppose reputation costs as well. But its still better than buying an RB26 of a wrecker, and just swapping the engines over, as you don't know when it will go BANG, and the cheapest one i could find was for 4.5g with only 2 months warranty, where as with the rebuild im getting 12months. The main mechanic there has rebuilt his own R32 and 200sx s14, plus heaps of others. He's got the experience. I'm not sure whether he's built a RB26 though :S I assume he has.

THanks 4 the info guys! much appreciated. I'm not rebuilding it myself, Jap Car Repairs are doin it, in Clayton Sth for $2g. He just said go "normally" i.e no redlining, no boost, no excessive acceleration. ANyways Mineral oils it is. I think i'll go to the Grampians, nice up and down driving there, pretty far away too. Thanks again. Ali.

How much does it cost to get them bedded in on a dyno? Where can i get it done from in melb, and how long does it take?

.

Hmm.....that IS a long run in....but obviously acheived gr8 results. I'm a bit confused know though as whether to use mineral oils, or synthetic oils :-S

Recently I decided to import an RX7 from Japan.....but have decided to work on my gtr, rather than maintaining an RX7 as well. Sad as I would have loved to have kept this beaut. The price of $11,999 is jsut covering my costs, and includes compliance, RWC but no Rego. Which is very cheap for a...... Mazda RX7 13B Turbo. 1989 5sp Manual. White 95,000kms. Mods include: Full bodykit. Rear spoiler, front spoiler. Aftermarket Exhaust. Personal Sports Steering Wheel. Short Shift Gearbox Driverside Racing Bucket Seat. Airpod 16 inch rims. Tinted windows. For pics and more info either go to my carsales link, call, pm or email me. Carsales link: http://carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_co...rch_distance=25 Car is in excellent condition, both bodywise and mechanically. Is NOT a cheap AUssie delivered, non turbo, or automatic model. Cheapest 13B Turbo S5 around. Test drives welcome, MELBOURNE. Call: 0423736439 email: [email protected]

Will do......how "frequently" should i change oil at the mineral oil stage.

Look, a time machine! LoLz....how much would it cost to use the dyno? What i also meant to ask is....once the engine is rebuilt, properly, if i pik it up from the workshop and "thrash" it...will it go bang again? As you said some ppl say thrash it nice, i assume no?

Hey guys, I'm getting a rebuild done on my RB26 and just needed some info on the run-in period. (Yes i tried searching!) What are the do's and don'ts during this run in period, and generally how long/how many kms does should it last...my mechanic suggested "normal" driving for at least a month! I'm assuming I will have less power for a while....and the car will feel a lot rougher. Anyways any info would be gr8. Thanx Ali

Ah! Jappsport want $5500 for plates. Does anybody know where i can r32 compliance in Melb?

THanks heaps warren! Prasanna has a GTS4 engine......he wants $1350 for it with 2 months warranty on startup, plus I have to pay my mechanic 500 dollars labour to fit and remove, all up costs me $1850, and i can't be bothered running in the engine as I'm selling......so im very happy. Cheers.

Thanks for the info guys! Much appreciated.

Yeah i need to include another car. Same problem...won't let me edit.

LoLz.....looks like a Mobile phone or remote holder is fitted as well...as if it wasn't already congested.

Hey guys....i need some info about rebuilding engines. Issue 1: Recently I spoke to my mechanic about my broken RB20 engine in my R32 GTS4-T. As a GTS4 Rb20 is very hard 2 come by in melb at the moment (front diff, different sump and dont wanna change the sumps either) he suggested a rebuild. He said all up i'm looking at 2 grand. Firstly...how's that price wise? Secondly...he said something about not "thrashing it" for at least a month....and drive it "normally" (as in how my Dad drives @ low revs). Does that sound right? Issue 2: I also spoke to him about my R32 GTR.....same scenario. Engines gone, and he wants $2000 to rebuild it, and again, drive "normally" for at least a month. Any help would be appreciated Thanx. Ali.

Hey Funky...what are the details of UPI...im desperate for plates...i've had a 94 GTR sitting in japan for a while!

Hi, I need a RB20 engine for a R32 GTS4-T. It's dif. 2 a standard RB20 coz its got a Front Diff in the sump..i.e different sump. In mlebourne. Cheers.

But isn't the RB20 a 4 cylinder also? I just think the RB20 sounds better coz of the way its designed. 'Race Bred'

That would be crazy! But would a Rb26 fit in a 180?

LoL! Exactly. I don't think that one line was meant to be an attack on Skylines. Besides, the whole media against Skylines things is mainly based on the imports, with shiny rims, bodykits and massive frountmount intercoolers, NOT innocent R31s!!
