obviously there was more work then that done joel.

we charge a minimum of $1000 to remove and replace an engine at my work so you can see how quickly costs add up when you include the labour involved in pulling the engine down, machining head, fitting full VRS kit among other parts, including head service, sourcing and buying second hand head.

the previous owner was not ripped off, if you actually read the receipts which will come with motor.

wouldnt buy u parts and labour to build a forged motor buddy!!!! it might buy u a second hand forged motor, or just the parts.

i just rebuilt an ej25 with all standard parts. and the bill was $6000.

seems to be a lot of people on here with no idea!

Or instead of expressing your silly opinions just reply to the fs advert like a normal person. If there is something you are not sure about just ask the seller, there is no need to be dicks and leave stupid coments. Like the guy said : remove and strip engine, source new head, machine said new head, buy gasket, fit, head service, put engine together and back into vehicle. Now run your own business paying staff, over heads and not doing it on the cheap and nasty and come up with a better price. The reciepts are there AS receipts, if the guy who was paying thought he was being ripped do you think maybe he would have questioned them?? Sounds like a good deal to me.

Good luck with the sale Cameron.

$1000 dollars to remove an entire engine to replace a head? Why did the engine need to be pulled? $5000 to fit a reco head is ridiculous, especially for an rb20.

And then sell it for $500. Definately sounds like someone got ripped.

Thanks for the decent input brad. Cheers.

I work in a small mechanical establishment and i know that for the work done, the previous owner was not overhcagred, not that it has anything to do with the sale of my motor anyway!!

Im not sure on the km/s on motor but i believe it to be around 130k from odometer records.

I have not compression tested, with a gt3540 turbo the motor was making 240kw, i have dynos sheets for that. so it must be reasonably healthy to pull good numbers.

I can send pictures via text, so if you give me your number i will send you some

and sounds to me as someone is making a fool of themselves as they dont know what theyre on about!!!!!!!

im selling motor for $500 as thats a good price to get rid of the motor, i have sold rb20's before at this price, it cost me nothing to get as it came to me as part of a deal.

so please gtfo out of my thread as ur useless comments arent wanted by anyone here with any idea

Wow it had a 35/40 on it? Sounds like someone else really had no idea...

Im just saying that saying it had $5000 worth of receipts and then not stating what work had been done to the motor is pretty useless, you just gave a vauge description and said it had a metal headgasket.

dead set, you just cant help dumb!

get the f**k out of the thread cos your comments have nothing to do with the sale of the motor, if you wanna whinge about someones turbo choices f**k off to the members rides section!

so what? dont buy it then!

you will find out the details of the receipts if you take a "serious" interest in buying the motor not making smart arse comments in the thread.

now piss off!

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
