My Nur motor finally arrived and is sitting on a crate in my garage.

Heavy bastard.

I'm thinking of leaving the bottom end and getting some headwork done.

I haven't really investigated it, so thought i might air my thoughts here. I gather some port work would be good, a few oil control mods, and throw a HKS catalogue at it should do it?

What have most you guys done?

I'm not looking for a big turbo/high rev monster. Just a fat midrange, and tough-as-teeth donk for some track work would be very nice.

did you have to sell a testicle and a kidney for this?

No, I've been getting a few pm's about this, so i'll debunk the myth that these engines are expensive.

I searched yahoo for months for a Nur from a private buyer. Found one, asked a few questions through Zac at Slidewise and got a Jap mate to ask a few more. Everything came up apples, so bought it for $3200. Zac shipped it. Add a bit for Zacs work and freight.

That's it

Nice one padey!!!

So your GTR is still on the road at the moment mate?

Yead I'd certainly be looking at the oil control - as they say (sometimes!) prevention over cure

Yeah mate, still on the road and running well. Some lowlife tried to break into it recently. The worst thing is it's got to be someone local, or someone local told someone... et al.

Oil control FTW. The head is coming off for oil control, and it aint coming off again for a long, long time. So i thought i might get the head worked at the same time.

Wooa!!

You know theres a hills meetup soon :P

Cool, i'll keep an eye out for it.

I would get the bottom end pulled apart and checked for clearances and tolerances. check the rods and maybe get them cleaned up.

add restrictor to the block

some light porting to the head (and releive it if you want to run high lift cam shafts one day)

external oil return from the head to the sump

put extended sump on it.

put cam gears on it

then off you go!

Wow, thats cheap!

Whats shipping worth for something like that if you dont mind me asking?

Nice to see it has shown up Andrew, you think of going GT-SS, 2530s or 2860 -5s. I see alot of the VIC GTRs are going back to stock cams with cam gears.

Hi Brad,

I'll stick with my 2860-7's for now. They aren't big, but do the job for now.

re the cams, i'm thinking more and more that i'll keep the head stock, do some oil control mods and leave it there. I've wasted enough money on cars for three lifetimes, and there is no need to waste more.

Ahh nice work Andrew! Yahoo!! mines still in japan :D cant wait to have it sitting on my garage floor.

did you get it from flatwell racing or whatever they are called? tho i think i asked yout his before? 3200 is alot cheeper than what they advertise

I've got some big plans for mine and i am still silly enough to spend money on cars :)

Andrew.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
