My newest racing machine. Now that the GTR is out of action for some time (aka engine rebuild) i needed to get a fix for speed somehow. so out i went and got myself a nice little Arrow go kart. now all i need is a daily driver that fits it and off to picton i go!!

That pink colour will make Queen st smash die with envy!! Looking great! who gives a f**k about the colour! good on them i say cant wait to see how this car goes in targa! are they expecting to see a podium finish?

Yeah well i think its pushing more towards a race car these days, and the very occasional street.... as i am considering doing the engine right this time and doing a dry sump setup. and stripping out alot of weight and shit i dont need. tho air con i want.. haha from that link above its either going to be je, cp , or the cheeper wisecos. thinking of doing the whole ferrera 1mm oversize valves and the rest of the business there.

Not to worry, car fell through no need for all that glass anymore

Engine/Car: Rb26dett r32 gtr Type of failure: Piston 6, 0 compresstion and leaky failure not yet 100% known but piston or ring failuer most likely Factors influencing the failure: lots of smoke, and dead sounding cylinder. possibly could have caused problems with vibrating loose crank main bolt and keyway on harmonic balancer a month or so before. and also car sitting without starting for over a month while on holidays.. State of tune of the engine: jap rich tune 11-10 and below Suspension and tyres: aragosta coil overs, 17x9 volks with advan neova Oil used and service interval: usually on formula r @ 5000 sometimes less! General comments: noticed sounds when starting up what i know know as a dead cylinder, i'm pretty sure the engine was built in japan with n1 pistons compression test a few months before showed up 130ish across all cylinders with only a 5psi drop between them Driven like a grandma for many weeks before, as i suspected it to be a little sick, then loads of smoke apon acceleration on m5 after toll booths.

I guess i could go with acl also. depending on price i've really got no idea about it at all. there is alot of product out there, last time i went with tomei, but 1600-2500 for just pistons is a bit of a joke. is there anything wrong with eagle rods? and wiseco pistons? i can get them delivered @ $1285 usd and will probalby miss out on getting caught in customs for duties i can go wiseco, cp, or je pistons. the later two bieng an extra 170 on top. also some arp head studs for 255usd. also concept on Ferrea valves 1mm oversize/guides/springs https://www.horsepowerparts.com/index.php?c...p;rows_shown=20 if anyone wants to look and advise? there is the link for all the rb26 stuff

i dont have a block and tackle, only an engine crane some jack stands and a large jack. i dont wanna drive my car to my friends shop incase it f**ks up. so running yank rods and jap pistons is ok? i gotta get my head around this soon! and start buying bits and pieces!

sorry officer i just squeezed the pedal ever so slightly i didnt mean that burnout i swear

i beleive i am just going to do the motor by itself now, i have pulled gearboxes off before and i know the bolts on it are probably about the worst part of the whole thing. so not really that much of a problem!! now as for the questions regarding internals. do i really need to pay the money for jap brand rods, and jap brand pistons (2500-3K) when you can get eagle and wiseco pistons for atleast half if not more than half the price ??(1300 at most)? planning on going going .040 oversize and eagle h beam rods with arp 2000's unless otherwise??? shaving the head a little and give some more compression a nice thin headgasket what ever the engine builder recomends. and then its time to finish off the dry sump!

Thanks champ!! p.s. can you put r34 on a series two?

Ok i figure this way looks the easiest in my space and tools i have to work with. or someone please guide me if i am going a hard way about this.. I plan on removing the whole lot in one go and lifting the car up and over the motor/gearbox or sliding the motor out.. whatever comes at that point. the gearbox doesnt really need to come out. so should i just take out the motor and leave the rest in? i have the trust front pipe kit so it may get in the way lifting the motor out? i'll do a search on removing the rb26 if i have to hopefully theres a guide thru it!! i've got an engine crane, jacks, stands, tools or someone will have what i need if i get stuck.. plan to do this on the weekend or monday.. see how it all goes. also what time frame are you looking at for pulling it out? i'm a moderate worker and my friend is pretty quick and handy. Cheers Andrew

Drivers side all glass, front glass rear glass rear tail light passenger side outside Drivers side - rear passenger window plastic surrounds All for stagea series 2

And my brother thanks you!! Cheers!! Andrew

If thats all you want to do is lower the revs while country driving a diff is surely going to be a cheeper option. as for those who say the 34 getrag is weak? i'd like to know where you saw that!

i take my wing off when its not in use as for the standard wing i wouldnt mind getting one to fill up the holes/carbon fiber tape that came on the car from japan

Yeah mate, i beleive they are!

your selling a what now? and a how much is it?

That sounds soooo f**king good! tho doesnt sound so automatic like the gtr. really sounds like a h pattern shifter

I've owned and driven a gtr for the good part of 3 years, and three times i have been pulled over for just random breath tests. But. your bank account is often close to 0

2.5, 3, 3.5inch Xforce brand $260+15 postage or pickup from Sydney Item is new.

If the front pipes fit the stock dumps i'd say you will be right! xforce ones are copys of hks dumps. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R32-...1QQcmdZViewItem this guy from nz is clearly the cheepest you'd find them! and i beleive he's nz's distributor for xforce!

Haha, Dont worry Richard, i've pulled the finger out and got cracking on getting this motor out. just have to save some money and budget around my trip to chile in august and my daily driver i am buying today!

Still for sale!!! willing to negotiate!!!! MAKE ME AN OFFER TODAY!

I'd just like to add that this box will support upwards of 500hp and beyond perhaps? they are very strong! and are exactly the same as supra 6 speed that everyone loves! they will fit in a 32 gtr and are a really good upgrade for a streetable car!! and 6 gears!!!

i run the trust ones. thats the dunmps and front pipe in one (three piece) very nice but anything is better than standard! tomei items look nice! Cooper if your in new zealand your xforce dealer out there (who sells stuff on ebay under performance guru) has very very cheep xforce gtr dumps!
