As a couple of you may know i need a full engine rebuild for my 33 gtr.

I have had a few quotes and all come in roughly at the $10,000 mark.

But i have a friend and her dad owns Advanced Engine Recon and he can do it quite a bit cheaper...

But ive never heard of them and i dont want to skimp out and get it done badly.

And dont want to be rude and ask him if hes any good lol...

So has anyone used them before? Or even heard of them etc?

Any advice would be good

cheers

Never heard of them myself buddy, doesn't mean that they are bad however. If I were in your position though, I'd rather put my faith and hard earned into a trusted workshop who know these engines. Nothing like spending 10k on a motor only to find out in a few months it's gone again ;)

hey mate i built my RB25 myself but had the machining done at Advanced engine reconditioners. Good work and realisticly speaking, machining is machining, you're either good at it or you're not, doesnt matter if its a RB26 or a tractor engine. But like i said, they did good work for me.

How far you going with the rebuild? standard? forgies?

If you really want top quality work speak to Andrew at Autosolutions & Restorations, has built many stomper GTR engines and was a great help to me when i was putting my motor together. Really knows his stuff when it comes to RB's in general

      I have replaced the larger coolant temp sensor, i do see a smaller one next to it (looks to be just 1 pin) but i assume that is just for the dash? or should i replace that aswell?

      Check coolant temp sensor ~ symptoms fit the hard hot start/cold start OK scenario --- if sensor goes open circuit, ECU thinks engine is cold and enriches mixture ....works when engine cold, but floods them with rich mixture when hot (Hyundi MAP engines are a bit infamous for this)...

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, starter changed for a spare without much trouble. Neil had kindly left space to get to the top starter motor bolt from above with a long spanner which makes the whole deal much easier, and everything else was neat and easy to get at from underneath. Once the starter was changed everything was good, unplugged the CAS and turned the motor on the starter to make sure everything was free and happy. Onto properly priming the oil and first start. I'd picked up one of these oil prime kit from Boost doc a while back and this was my first time using it.  https://boostdoc.com.au/products/engine-oil-prime-kit?_pos=1&_sid=28c628a65&_ss=r While I'd organised all the fittings to hook it up to my GTR (sump plug to -6 feed and -4 T to tap it in and retain the oil pressure gauge, neither suited on this car as the oil pressure needs to T into 1/8 NPT not -4 and the Aeropro sump has some massive drainplug not that factory whatever it is. So, waiting for a couple of fittings, then I'll prime it and do first start, hopefully next weekend. Other than that going well, there is very little stopping a final alignment, tune then shakedown day

      Also to mention, i just tested the CAS, seems to be working fine, can hear the pulses inbetween 0 and 180 degrees, another mention aswell, when i let the car sit for about a hour today, i went to start it and it almost fired on first crank, then just completely struggled. Could it possibly be blocked injectors?, maybe allowing a little bit of fuel to seep past allowing it it almost start first crank?
