yep im one of whom bought the PS3 and it sure was a smooth transaction with no problem at all. Package all sealed up and also attached was a receipt. great deal!

I agree with BeerBaron. Everyone does stupid mistakes in their teens and early 20's. How can you even compare this incident to murderers, serial killers, serial rapists, terrorists. These people actually destroy other ppl's lives intentionally. And all these 2 kids have done is threaten but have the car owner been stabbed for it? Nope, so IMO they didn't deserve to die at all! Its just sad, they couldn't learn throughout their mature ages and change like everybody else does.

which RB engine? and wat price? im very keen!!! PM if u like

yep i called up proengines, they seem to be very promising and really knows their stuff. but the price is still around the 6k mark just to freshen up the engine back to normal leaving it as stock internals. im guessing its the parts which bring the price up like this.

hhmm okay guys i really appreciate your help, though all i want is to freshen up my engine again with stock internals. Thus, i would only want to replace pistons and rings (with stock ones), replace gaskets, replace bearings and what else would there be to do to freshen up the engine like stock new again? my budget is $5000 so i need to fit it in under 5k. So could you guys please suggest what other things that normally wears out can i replace? i only ask cuz i don't know too much about engines and all not so i can mod internals. thank you and plz along with the parts u reckon i should replace can i get a rough estimate of how much i could find it for please? BTW how much would new standard pistons and rings cost? and also gaskets and bearings?

yep but they also send the heads away for machining and such. i guess there are just no workshops who acutally do the head work themselves.

I must admit r34's cannot hold as much boost as the r33's do. and i speak from having both cars. i have both dynoed, and r33 seems to hold boost much stably unlike r34's which always decreases nearby redline even with a electronic boost controller. nonetheless, it still gives out alot of power.

So if the compression rate is too high, what happens then?

Okay well i only asked so i could do something useful as im going to have my engine head apart anyway like forge the pistons BUT as im never going to aim for such big power i guess it'll just be a waste of money to go forgies and cams. I guess il just replace the rings, or maybe the whole pistons, change oil, gaskets, filters etc and just save the remaining money to do the usual stuff like ECU as i already have full exhaust, boost controller and etc. I was just ASKING cuz i thought i'd never pull the engine apart so its better off and more cost efficient to do some useful upgrades whilst pulling the head apart. but i guess what you guys are saying is that its NEEDLESS to do if i ain't going to aim at such a big power gain such as 250kwrw YES? I mean im shit with cars ok? if theres stuff i could replace even tho its replacing it with stock parts and not aftermarket, i wouldn't mind as long as its going to help my engine be healthly after all.

anywayz, so forging the pistons is a useless mod is it now? then what do you actually suggest then skylinekid? i mean i dun even know yet how much this could cost, cuz the actual definite cost will be given when the heads apart but im assuming around $3000 to pull out the head and to replace the piston rings, etc. Now just to do that its a waste of money IMO, so what other things should i do to make sure the engine is back to its original strength as if it were a new engine.

BTW nobody recommends shops such as belgarage, CRD and etc? are the just good in performance mods and not rebuilding an engine? who are the reputable engine builders? i'd appreciate it very much.

thanks alot with the help! yeah im thinking doing exactly wat u said "pezhead" but yer i need a workshop who knows wat they're doing like wat other things to look for potential damage. How much do you think it'll cost to do all what you said?

is it finished yet? cuz i would love to know how it went and how much it'd cost to take the engine out and etc. and how much did it cost u to get al those parts?

If i was to get a split front dump pipe, i'd get it in a single split front and dump pipe cuz apparently the flanges that connects the front and dump increases the weight anywayz. But in the end i do believe split front/dump are better but its hard to get a hold of to find one that are a single piece.

Grunta: Thanks, I really appreciate your help. well first of all im assuming it'll be 3 gran just to take the head apart and to replace the cylinder rings. then i'd only have around $2000 left so i was thinking of upgrading it to forged pistons however i dun think i can afford the port and polish. which one should i go for forged pistons or port and polish? and please bear in mind im running a stock turbo so would it even be effective to do these upgrades as i can't increase the boost pressure anyway cuz of stock turbo? Or should i just put in a turbo and replace the rings?

what power is it putting out? wats the reason for sale? is it nego down to 24g?

where are the pics??? and is it manual?

hi i need to know the best place in Sydney to take my car in for engine rebuild as i may need to change piston rings. i need mechanics who won't overcharge me and do the job like they have done before efficiently and perfectly.

will i be better off just forging the pistons?

PLEASE HELP! i need estimates of the repair cost and also what other cost effective mods i could do while im at it

well a long while back the compression test i had showed that all cylinders were at 150 spot on except the 3rd one which was on 100, however with a bit of oil squirt it'd rise up to 170 so im assuming its the rings or the cylinder so i just wanted to repair that. and now im on the verge of repairing this now, and my cars real stock running stock turbo, stock ecu, and stock intercooler. i know its not a good idea upgrading anything on the engine without any base mods but ill be willing to put the ecu and fmic on at the same time as i take the head apart. actually i ain't even sure how much the repair will cost, im assuming max $3000. any suggestions please?

Hello. im on the verge of doing a engine rebuild for my gtt r34 just to do some repairs here and there. just need some advice of what other performance mods i could do just so i don't waste money on pulling the head apart just for repairs but make use of this procedure by doing other mods as well. might have a budget of $2000 left after repairs on the engine

I doubt its the ecu but if it is i guess ur getting a power fc im thinking maybe the auto electricians should look at it

Hi, just wondering if this is normal, when i turn my key to engine check light, i get this weird cam sound or something from the engine bay everytime i turn it onto engine check light. wat is this? is it normal?

lol omfg get the guy to pay for the damages...but i doubt its the ecu btw why did the guy try jump starting it anyway? if it started fine before?
