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.

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
