I am too busy studying this year and may be most of next year so someone might as well enjoy this. I will be building a larger RB engine when I have more time.

Engine was built in Japan and came with a R32 Vspec around 4 years ago. So the engine is pretty much an R33RB with unknown forged internals and capacity. The car has a lot of Mines bolt on stuff when it came over so it could have been built by them (but dont take my words for this). Whoever built this engine is GREAT. The cylinders compressions are all good and there is absolutely no blowby oil in the catch can regardless of drag or track activities. Engine does not use oil at all as well.

Car has only been used mainly for weekend activities. Best time at Willowbank is 11.4@126mph and QR Sprint is 57.1 with RE55 and aggressive cambers of 4- in the front and 3- in the rear. I've only been to QR and Willowbank about 3 times each with the car. I think I can go faster at the drag if I reduce the camber, unload some weight and use drag radials but I have not had much time this year.

All of the tuning and work was done by Willall Racing, Martin Donnon (when I was still in Adelaide), Tune and Matty Spry (since I moved to QLD). Engine has been conservatively tuned with pair of T518Z 10cm at 18-19psi for power graphs below. Castrol Edge synthetic oil is religiously changed before and sometimes after every track work too.

-HKS 264 intake and exhaust cams

-HKS cam gears

-1.5 ATS carbon LSD This was only installed late last year and only been at QR sprint twice. Costed me around $2000.

-Trust front diff back cover. Holds an extra 1 L of oil

-Nissan water pump and Trust belt was replaced late last year

-Engine may have after market baffle plate because I never have any oil surge problem.

-Oil pump is unknown but what ever it is used on this engine I am happy to used it again with my next engine. Oil pump and engine survived many redline (conservative 8.5krpm) launches at the drag.

Asking price is a bargain $9k.

The new nissan water pump, Trust timing belt, cams gears, cams and lsd will easily cost you close to half of this asking price.

Engine is still in car and currently located in Brisbane

Who ever buy this engine please open it up, refresh it and let me know what clearances and parts were used. It is amazing. I love to be able to do that now but got to invest into my study atm :P

I can include the trust t518z turbo, BDI fuel rail, injectors, nismo fuel regulator and the Djetro map for extra cost. I've spent a lot of money on the djetro map for full throttle, high way cruise and midrange power tuning. Engine refresh can be arranged too. Reluctant sale so serious buyer only ......please no joyriders.

I will post some dyno graph up soon

  • 7 months later...

Edit: Turbo are T517Z with 10cm2 housing. Engine is out of the car and turbo can be supplied with the engine. Trust front diff cover has been replaced with the original cover. The engine is in SA atm. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Edited by 9krpm

That's the next thing I will be doing once I finish off my current R32 project. I am planning to take the engine apart and freshen it up too but that will depend on the left over fund from this project.

The turbo are on the car atm. I will part the turbo when I can find suitable replacement soonish....hopefully next few weeks Sorry for any confusion.

The engine came out of a R32 gtr that is used mostly for track day and paper weight in the shed/workshop most other days. The engine is currently in a workshop in Adelaide. I can organise anything ranging from a complete overhaul for this engine. I can replace the stock parts too if the buyer is not keen on these after market parts. I have offers for these parts but keen to sell them with the engine coz I am working in Brissy and don't have time to dissassemble them.

  • 2 weeks later...

The turbs will prob be around 2-2.5 large but will depend on how well the new turbs work on the new engine. It's not for sale atm.

I am selling the engine at this stage. Anyone want to make an offer on the engine?

If not I may recondition it and keep it as a spare

    • So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR
    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
