In Search Of An Engine Builder In Nsw

[Marko R1]

hi guys,

ive been searching for an engine builder as i now have all the bits needed to get started on my rb26/30 - i 'almost' made the wrong decision so i think its better that i gain other peoples feedback before i commit, i had a look on the forum & its been a few years since anyone has asked this question.

i dont want to pay through my nose for this as well

regards

marko

Well there is always the option of crating it to NZ and getting RIPZ to do it. At $400 for a crate and shipping and NZ$1.20 it could be an option. For something like an engine i think you have to really go wherever you are comfortable, if that means interstate then so be it.

I suppose the problem is plenty of places will build you a tough RB30 for a rwd car, but the problems start when you go GTR

[Marko R1]

rob at rips is building my diff plate and sump kit so that may be a good option

james @ nisspeed also sounds good

i think i need an rb30 specialist as other small mods are required i.e. relocating timing tensioner, head studs tapped

Thats basic fundamental machine and fitting work Marko.

so why the sudden change of heart?

Id do it for you but your indecision and procrastination would kill me.

there are plenty of reputable places in syd that machine and build.

I use dominator race engines in guildford for all my machine work. there very good at what they do and are very resonable in their pricing.

Hope this helps

The only way it would happen is id have Marko fill out a build sheet that could not be altered and his username be suspended until it was complete...lol

no im not doing it.

Marko ring Dom.

[Marko R1]

Tax deduction?...lol...you must be kidding?

let me explain - my previous gtr i spent over 15k in mods & i got back 1/2 of that from the tax office, how, well...i drove that car for business purposes

[BoostdR]

James at Nisspeed also does Sump Adaptors...Collars, etc. Even has his own OS style 3ltr kit. Sleeves, spacer plate, pistons.

[Marko R1]

paul - u know i think your work is fantastic & i'd recommend u to anyone (your knowledge is better than most workshops) BUT at the end of the day i do need a legally binging receipt, in my last farkk up with 2 repairers i went to the fair trading commission (with MVRIA) had my receipts and evidence hence won and had no problem with getting my money returned.

I do not want to go through the same bulllshiiiiit hence why this time I will go to a 'highly recommended' workshop even if it means spending a little more that can offer a legally binding receipt, insurance and warranty.

If you had an ABN and business you would be my first choice. Simple. Unfortunately i dont feel comfortable spending thousands without a legally binding guarantee...not trying to be offensive at please dont take it that way - you know your shiit your awesome with your skill and knowledge however i dont feel comfortable.

dominator is very good i highly recomend him for price as well

my old car sems to still be alive

as for engine building any f**k could do it...

its the machinist that is worth his weight in gold... mechanics just put together the machinist good work and balancing

+ 5 for dominator! and he give a discount if you take speedway with him for a hour and if you pay cash he does it all in under a day!

same...i pick and choose my work...i wouldn't want to do it...easy.

my time is limited so i dont intend on running a business and taking a full on commitment. Its a hobby that i enjoy...helping a few guys out with stuff is about all im prepared to do. Any hassles with turning it into a serious venture would really suck and any more time away from my family than i spend now is not an option.

for the 3rd time...contact Dom Rigoli he comes well recommended by me.

[Marko R1]

i think i need to forward plan my r35 purchase, at least i wont feel the temptation to modify for at least a few yrs

fair enough paul
