3k for 2.8 kit is impossible. The crank alone will cost more than that.... Then you have pistons, rods and the build. So unless someone is willing to take up the cost for the rest I think its just a dream.

No chance he's getting a stroker kit.

By the sounds of it, his genius mechanic wants to bore out a standard block to try and reach an 'effective' capacity of 2.8L

Abort.

Your crackin it arnt you mate, I cant stand people like you.

Any normal half brained guy would choose a 2.8 over a stock R33 engine. ESPECIALLY if your only going to nanna the car, if your not going to DRIVE it SELL IT! GTRs are ment to be driven hard, grow a pair and Dont bullshit on forums mate, seriously....Annoying

Great post, people should listen to you

Yes this is the case. He never mentioned a crank. He just said pistons and rods but for a 2.8 litre. Unfortuneately for everyone on here supporting the forged option (i think its actually everyone that has posted thus far) I have gone for the Autotech Engine (apparently identical to the R33 GTR). I get to keep my nismo injectors, N1 turbos, external oil cooler and my power FC.

My reasons to support this decision is because I am not a person who cares for monster power and I would prefer my car to be as stock as possible for daily commuting **dodges rotten tomatoes thrown at me**.

:P

This is great. You simply can not get 2.8 reliably out of an RB block with the stock sized rods and crank stroke.

Please post up who it is so someone can at least advise him that RB's have water jackets :)

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
