Nisspeed do all of Boostworxs machining, they have everything

in house aswell. Had a couple of motors machined by him.

But also have a mate that is killer with Nissan motors and does his

performance stuff at home, and is a engine reconditition by trade during the

day, cluey as and very,very fussy, will be doing my Big RB30/25 build

for sure, I will give you his number if you want to go that way, p.m me

naw just swap cars with Keir :P

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 :P:blink:

does anyone have an idea of the kinda cost it will be??

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

at the mom i got around $5000...looking at saving as much as i can. i want to get 300kw at all four so i would like a decent rebuild. all forgies and n1 rings etc. not really wanting the engine to be bored, just honed. but see what happens, ill have to get what i can afford i guess.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
