I have just had my RB25 rebuilt at Boostworxs, ive nearly done 10,000ks with absolutely no problems, very happy with the work done

i know a few people recommend Nisspeed and Rhemac Motors too.

naw just swap cars with Keir

[mark99]

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).

[Turbz_13]

also guys can ya (if ya have had a rb26 done) give me a idea of what kinda price im looking at. im not really wanting a full on rebuild, just 1 to get me thro, new pistons, rings and rods, and bearing of course...not really after much more than that

[Turbz_13]

not only if ya have had an rb26 done....if ya know!! i miss-phrased it

[Race__24]

Rhemac Motors is the place to go. Plus they now have someone there who specialises in imports/turbos

[S3_Girl]

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

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]

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!

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

Basic rebuild with forged pistons, stock rods ~ $5000. That includes labour.

If you do some of the work shave off 1-2 grand!

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

[Turbz_13]

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.

[dan_32gtr]

hey mate.

just finished putting the 26 back together in mine

part including new (oversize nissan) pistons/rings, n1 bearings, n1 oil pump, tomei block restrictor (needed for the n1 pump), n1 gasket kit, gates timing belt.

total cost approx. $2900 (trade price - add 10% otherwise)

good luck
