Hey all, not sure if this is the right section but anyway.

I need a replacement s/h RB26 block + girdle as the RB26 i picked up has a damaged block from when it was in an accident.

So i would like to know the fair $$ value for one.

I have seen some rediculous prices for RB26 parts....

Or on the other hand, i'm thinking about buying a brand new N1 block and possibly crankshaft.

Where would i look to find the best prices for these?

well, don know where your area is, but brand new blocks, at just jap range from 2500-12k 2500 for the normal block, 3k for the N1 block and also 12k or so for the gt500rrr block

i have a second hand one for sale if your interested.

but im in sydney, and shipping for a block is pretty limited most of the time.

I'm in SA.

Yeah i know Just Jap do them, but i'm sure there is somewhere cheaper.

I saw you forsale thread and i'm sorry your block is way too rediculousy priced... Add another $300 to the price your asking for your block and crank, and thats what i paid for my complete RB26.

Thanks, anyway.

He never actually gave you a price. He just said what others sell them for - brand new.

Just look in the FS section, RB26 blocks sell for 2/10ths of fk all really 2nd hand.

Forget spending coin on a N1 block, not essential and plenty of cars running 400rwkw on a normal block

He didn't give me a price in the thread no, but i saw what he was asking in his forsale thread.

I have been looking in the for sale thread, but prices range from $200 to $1500 for a block! I'm asking what one would actually be worth, because the guy that sold me the engine is going to refund me the cost of a replacement block. Hench my question to ask how much one is 'fairly' worth.

Second hand block may well be the go, but there is never a way of telling how many cracks are in it until its tested.

And although i'm not chasing heaps of power, i want revs and repsonse and i want it to last.

      Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.
