Hey guys,

I just wanted some opinions on how much a stock R34 GT-R motor is worth as I have ordered a crate engine to replace her.

Here's some details.

- motor still in car and runs perfectly with no problems at all.

- about 74,000kms genuine

- complete long block engine but does not include turbos, manifolds, loom, fuel system, pulleys or plenum.

- recently dynoed at 200awkw with just a cat-back system

cheers

Euge

guys - no turbos etc etc.

$2000 at the absolute best.

heads are $1100-$1500, bottom ends are worth nothing

A complete running RB26 is not worth 6-7k that's for sure

Ouch! 2k? your serious; i know no turbos or plenum/fuel system but 2k?

well if mx is gonna sell it, id probably buy it for that price and build it up slowly to slot in my gtr when its done...serious on that if your interested.

A purchased a near complete head (no manifolds/turbos) for $1000, ~100,000km/s or so on it. Its in good nick. This is a common everyday price.

Bottom ends, literally are no more than $500 in value really.

So yes, no ancillaries, loom and so on, no more than $2000.

Just check the For Sale section, you'll soon see GTR heads sell for $1500 with plenum/manifolds attached, less without depending on what is missing.

Back 5 years ago i paid less than $4000 for a FULL motor, it had dead turbos... but everything from plenum to dumps to the loom.

It was a bit tired, so perhaps 4.5k full running motor with a loom for something in a little better condition.

You can get them imported now for 4k even, in decent condition.

If anyone can get more, good luck to them, the buyer didn't do their research.

For what it's worth, 2JZ's sell for under $3500 :D

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
