Item: RB26 Engine

Age:Approx 100,000kms

Condition:Good

Price: $4000 or ono

To Fit:GTR or conversion (What car)

Location:Perth, WA

Contact:pm or email [email protected]

Comments:

This engine will be removed from my R32 GTR around the 10th Dec. So you can here it running, have a look at the oil pressure and the overall general condition before that date. I will be carrying out a compression test before it's removed.

Since importing the car in April 2005 I have done around 10,000kms on the engine. Unsure on the exact amount of km's but general condition the engine and paint starting to flake off the plenum would suggest around 100,000.

The GT-SS turbo kit was installed in July last year and has approximately 5,000kms on it. An Exedy 9 Puk extra heavy duty clutch was fitted around May 2005.

The engine comes complete minus the following parts:-

Injectors + Rail + Regulator

Dumps

Wiring Harness

The alternator, power steering pump and aircon compressor are not included.

The cam belt was replaced prior to the vehicle leaving Japan (the speedo read 3,500kms, now reads 19,100 ish).

With a fairly safe tune the car made 404 rwhp on 19psi using a D-Jetro computer (not included in sale but can supply the map).

Please no low ball offers (they will be ignored) and I am not interested in swaps or breaking it up at this stage.

Freight can be arranged country wide. My suggestion is Air Road Direct. I paid roughly $300 to get an RB26 freighted from Brisbane to Perth.

In Johns defence - not strange at all to want to Just swap engines, even if there is nothing apperntly wrong with the one you are taking out (especially if you are going the next step up in power). It means you can minimise the time your car is off the road. Having an eninge ready to go in can mean having your car off the road for just days, rather than weeks (or months) if you are to take everything out - have it all stripped, measured and machined and then chase the parts you need to build your "tough" RB26.... (or RB28 for that matter)

sorry... just my 2c :nyaanyaa: (going through a similar transition myself...)

So the reason for the new RB26DETT?

Strange to just "Swap engines"

Have you had the compression check done yet?

New engine is an HKS 2.8 with everything done and then some. I didn't want the car off the road for an extended period so I bought a 26 that had spun a bearing and got that one rebuilt.

Compression test will be for peace of mind of the buyer and I didn't want to sell someone a dud. Haven't got the guage yet but will post up results when I do.

Thanks

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.

      Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
