I have an unlicensed r32 GTR Fully complied but not licenses due to 6th cylinder having little compression.

Where can i take it in Perth to get the bottom end rebuilt with forged pistons and rods, crank collar N1 oil and water pump and new bearings.

No one wants to touch it with out me handing over 25k.

All i want is a basic rebuild to get the car going and make it abit stronger. aiming for 350rwkw. more work will get done in time but just want bottom end done for now. I may as well chuck in oil restrictor and head service so all is good.

If i cant find anyone to do it I have found a replacement engine for 4400 + 990 fitting. It includes a gearbox clutch and ecu in that price.

Any ideas?

which workshops have you been to......

C-red

Xspeed

Hyperdrive

Intune

Im sure all of them do it for much less then 25k

ps. check the consolidated workshop thread

What's your budget?

For an engine build you are probably better off going in a talking to someone face to face. They deal with dreamers ringing up all the time. I know many of the workshops are flat out at the moment so expect the odd un-answered phone call or email.

Maybe an N1 crate motor from Just Jap is the go Click Me

we got a very similar rebuild for around 8k on one of our r32 gtrs , a little more with some extras like pumps and recon injectors , afms etc. Give me a call and I can talk to the engine builder , he is very busy so it won't be quick if he does take it on but his work was great and we are very happy with the engine so far

if you do go cut , kyp are great

I have 8k to play with.

The engine for $4400 is a 50k r32 engine. Couldnt find any later model engines for sale.

i wouldnt even bother rebuilding a rb26 unless you have at least 10k for parts alone...

either a 2nd hand motor or go get a loan and do it properly

budget 26 WILL end in tears

You are kidding aren't you? :O What parts do you need to be able to spend $10k on?

An Rb26 doesn't need to be built to produce 1000hp or rev to 10,000rpm. Set some reasonable expectations & with a reasonable budget you can get a good result by rebuilding your motor.

Certainly a better result than spending money on a tired 2nd hand motor anyway.

Mainly thinking of getting the second hand engine installed due to the time a rebuild will take.

I want the car licensed so I can drive the damn thing.

Looking for 500bhp max in the long term set a nice rev limit of 8500

How long will it take you to build?

You gave me a quote before but the misses wants me to get it done locally cuz she wants the car on the road ASAP.

How long would it take for the engine to get back to me?

What freight company do you use?

Agreed...

I might have to give Paul a bell, come this time next year for a 26, or 26/30 build come this time next year if local options are no good.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
