Have got 3 RB26DETT heads sitting around the shed. all 3 are damaged but repairable, would suit machinist or someone in the trade who could repair them and make some money off them.

Head 1) Was brand new old stock that had been stting around since new. I bought it and then threw rod out side of block which damaged the combustion chamber a bit and broke the valves off. Most bits there for it.

Head 2) Head which is slightly warped. Needs straightening

Head 3) Head which has had different cams put in, the clearences for the cams wasnt set properly so it damaged the cam journels and the bering caps etc. Complete but needs line boring

Offers for all 3? or 1? I dont mind. If i get enough interest for parts i will part them out but i dont want to sell a couple little things as it will make it hard for the person who buys the lot.

Pair of Nismo engine mounts, used but still in good nick $150 pair

Tomei Sump baffle, used but was only in engine for a couple months, $150

Also, have got other r32gtr bits and pieces, std exhaust manifolds, heat guards, heaps of other little bits just ask.

Would prefer text or call as i am not on computer very often.

Do you have any pictures you can post up?

Head 1) Complete head, cams there. Cam bearing lobes are scratched a bit due to the clearences not being set properly or something like that. Needs line boring as the cam bearing caps must be too tight on the cams.

Head was meant to be reconditioned when i got the engine, looks very clean etc but needs reshimming after its line bored.

Head 2) Slightly warped but repairable. maybe 2 bent valves after problem with cam belt. missing 1 spring retainer etc but the valve is still in there. Pair of cams that came with that head but after the head is straightened it will need reshimming.

Head 3) Havent got photos of this one atm, It is bare head as i used all of the bits to put into another head i had but i have got nearly all of the bits there to go in it, has got cams to match it. Needs combustion chamber welding up and then will need assembling and re-shimming

Have got some shims there with the heads but generally i did an exchange with my head reconditioner as shims arent cheap when you buy 24 at a time.

Could use all 3 to make 2 good heads, sell one to cover your costs and still have spares left over to sell or keep should anything happen to yours.

I was going to rebuild them but i dont have the time as i have got too many other projects on the go and i want to clear some room for my new project.

As i am on satalite internet it takes forever to upload photos so i have posted a sample of what i have got

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
