mine is costing over $7,000. the bottom end should be capable of 700-800hp i would guess specially with the inturnals they have put in it. with the proper bold on mods etc. but thats just a guess at the moment. running around 18psi i have been told that i possibly make 300-320rwkw

hey tangles, im getting the motor in the 260 rebuilt at the moment, to make a short story its costing me about $5500. Oh and cos i dont get it back for about a month i got bored and bought a 97 RS4 from nsw, should get it friday!

You're a madman Ben - I like your style.

Rebuild due to "issues" or purely precautionary?

hey fella

i didnt get a chance to have a look as i was running late..

out of curiosity what does $7+ k buy you these days?

and where are BDT getting the machining done?

whats included in the total build up from BDT?

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

hmmmmm....focken air con has died in my bedroom...grrrr

stupid airwell shieeet

chops the engine rebuild was due to the car dropping the bottom.

danderman4 not too sure where they got the engine machining work done but ill find out, i have asked 1 guy(1 of the apprentices) and he wasnt exactly sure.

the build from bottom up is that i can remember:

sump baffle kit

new oil and water pumps

gates timing belt

acl race series bearings, pistons(20 thou over), rings and gasket kit

eagle h beam rods

aero speed cam gears

new complete engine hose kit

new head bolts

work which was done on the head and block(not sure what was done off the top of my head what they did)

thats about it that i can remember for now. i know there is still 2 engine mounts getting done and the abs unit is getting replaced

Ha ha! Thanks chops!

Rebuild is due to issues, basic issue being i blew a turbo seal and it syphoned all the oil out of the motor and did in the bottom end! Not happy, but what can ya do, atleast it will be built stronger and i will know what condition the motor is in!

Got my RS4 on the weekend, not in bad nick, needs a few things cleaned up but isnt bad for the price i got it for. Now i realise the difference between an RS4 and a 260RS though...lol, funny how they dont go aswell with only one turbo! lmao!

Ha ha, no drifty's yet, its still cleanish so i stick to the bitumen, once its ready for a wash ill go for a spin on the dirt!

Not going to bad otherwise, considering its an auto 25 that is! lmao! Will feel funny when i get the 260 back!

yes, got the abs unit from the good guys down at nisswreck, thanks guys!! get that up 2 blackwood asap and hopefully i got me car next week!! woohoo can wait!!!! cant wait to come on another cruse with you guys!!

    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
