Hi,

just after some advice on parts required to rebuild a strong rb26.

My brother is in his third year apprentice and has just started work in a reputable workshop.

So in order to help him learn more and also to benifit me so i dont have to pay for labour, i was thinking of getting him to rebuild my engine.

since i have no clue about engines, i was just wondering if anyone could list for me some aproppriate parts for a solid reliable engine

eg....forged pistons, oil pump, cams watever.

im not after max power, just a strong reliable and new engine that can produce decent power without a shit load of boost

currently i have 250 rwkw and would be happy with 300-350kw.

also if you could list the prices of items too...

cheers

If you do a search this wouldve been covered heaps of times, but here's a quick list;

Note, all these prices are off the top of my head and may be slightly off due to the exchange rate, all the brands are just the ones that spring to mind at 130am after a looooong day

Pistons: CP, Mahle, ACL, Tomei, HKS, JUN, Wiseco, ARIAS. Range from $1000 to $2000

Rods: Eagle, Autech, Spool, Tomei, Jun, HKS, Nismo. Range from $645 to $1600

Oil pump: N1, JUN, Tomei, HKS, dry sump, external moroso. Range from $500ish to $2200

Crank collar: Group buy for under $100 ea. You have to do this if the crank is out of an early model GTR. Or if your crank is stuffed (thrust worn out, cracked, bent etc) you have to get a....

New crank: R33 GTR or R34 GTR crank, genuine Nissan. Justjap had them for about $1100 before the exchange rate went crazy

Water pump: N1. Buy from forum sponsors and its cheap, currently i think Slide has the cheapest

Cams: Not needed for that power. If you really want to, there's HKS, Tomei, JUN - depending on brand you can easily blow $2000 here as some will need other parts to fit

Cam gears: Tomei, HKS, etc, check the group buy section for a thread by NYTSKY

Sump baffles: Tomei, JUN. About $500

Valve springs: JUN, Tomei, HKS. Between $500 and $1600

Injectors: Depends on size, usually the decent ones start at the $899 mark. PM me if you want some Denso/SARD's for $600 ive got a set for sale

Fuel reg: Nismo, tomei. Nismo is adjustable and $195 delivered - get that. I also have one of those for cheap for sale

Fuel pump: 044 intank, check forum sponsors, there's a DIY thread on how to install it, surely your brother can do it

Airbox: Nismo S-tune filter in stock airbox. No idea on price, its been ages since i bought that sorry

Clutch: So many options, multiplate is the popular choice here, easy to spend $1500+ on a clutch. I can very, very strongly recommend a nismo twin plate, there's one for sale right now in the for sale section that i know drives like a stocker with the guts to take 350kw atw

Headgasket: Cometic, Tomei etc - again, lots of choice. I use Tomei, costs a few hundred, comes in a kit with all the other gaskets needed for inlet etc

Head oil restrictor: Tomei. About $20 delivered

Return for oil from head: All custom parts/work, there's a DIY on this. Dont skip it, its important.

Head bolts/studs: ARP. Not sure on price with the exchange rate, FYI i paid $380 per set

Any other bolts etc: ARP have a kit for almost everything that matters

Not sure if i missed anything, but yeah add up the price for parts and thats a baseline to work from :wave:

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
