mark99 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Rhemac Motors, can do the engine remove and refit and the strip down, machine work and rebuild all in house. Most other shops will remove the engine then send it to another shop for machining (probabley Rhemac).

Race__24 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Rhemac Motors is the place to go. Plus they now have someone there who specialises in imports/turbos Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100770-rb26-rebuild/#findComment-1842641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozila Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 why not get a full on rebuild? sure money may be the obvious issue but since its out of the car why not ensure that it wont go bang again. its best to get it right the first time.

Turbz_13 Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) im lookin at jobs on mines hahah, so if i can get 1 then i will go the whole hog with the rebuild...if i cant get it i will just have to have the basics done!

9krpm Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 naw just swap cars with Keir <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Keir's Willall racing workshop has just been built. I am sure Peter will have time and space to rebuild the engine soon. From what I gathered the stock parts are pretty good. However if you will have the resource to go full out, Keir also got a spare OS 3L engine atm. I am sure if you offer a good price he won't say no Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100770-rb26-rebuild/#findComment-1850481 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd-runr Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 does anyone have an idea of the kinda cost it will be?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Basic rebuild with forged pistons, stock rods ~ $5000. That includes labour. If you do some of the work shave off 1-2 grand!

trick Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 does anyone have an idea of the kinda cost it will be?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A mate of mine just had his RB26 rebuilt at reamac they did an excellant job and my mate and i did most of the work (engine out stripped,back in,etc) and he spent $4500 just on block so it really depends on your budget and how much power your want to have at the end it can cost min $3000 to whatever you want Nisspeed is also excellant Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/100770-rb26-rebuild/#findComment-1876824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
