Rb20Det Motor, Metal Headgasket, Complete


Recommended Posts

Um........ my 31 has a forged engine with multilayered head gasket To4e, external gate, Nisstune ecu, 440cc injectors, adjust FPR and a whole bunch ov other crap and was all done a Collier engines in adelaide for 6,000 with records..... so thats y everyone seems to question your 5000 to reco an rb20.

A VRS kit cost about 200 bux from motor traders and even with timing tensioner kit proly 500 for both then a few hundred for metal HG and while u doing the Head gasket u can slap in the seals from the vrs kit would take no more than 10 hours of work if u did it slow as f**k and even if u charged $100 per hour lab job would cost no more than 1500 - 2000 for rb20 so please expalin what the other 3000 was spent on so we can ALL understand.

mate no argument its priced well, but when you state things like its had 5000 bux worth of work done,

it rings alarm bells in most peoples heads and makes us wonder IF it really has had that work done why is it so cheap? and it makes no sense 5000 for a head job and new seals on an RB20??

i have a 6000 dollar engine in my car and there would be no way in hell i would get rid of it at 10% of its value,

so im in the same seat as everyone else what has really happened to this engine for it to hav 5000 spent on it and the only upgrade was a head gasket

oh my gosh some people must have never stopped pushing pencils for a second to see what labour costs.

for example. to replace all the exhaust manifold studs on an rb20 with the motor still in the car your looking at close to $1000.

$$$ really do add up quickly.

for exapmle, i ifitted extractors to a triton the other day, it was meant to be a $400 job, by the time the guy left my shop he was up over $1000, when i undid the manifold, every second stud would the thread out of the alloy. so i had to helicoil all the studs and fit new studs.

it may cost $700 in parts to do the work that was done to the rb20 but labour is the killer~!!!

AND THE REASON THE MOTOR IS BEING SOLD IS BECAUSE IM PUTTING A 1JZ IN MY SKYLINE SO I DONT NEED THE RB20. FAAAAARK

    • Its also very clearly made to take business away from https://theskylineshed.com/ which is legitimate and even has a physical address.
    • The 'About Us' got me ..  I added something to the cart and clicked 'check out' and none of the payment options in the footer (ie those with buyer protection) were available. Stay the hell away from this one.
    • No. Not true for any non-GTR R32. I think even the GTS4 has the GTSt knuckles with eye type lower shock mounts (as opposed to GTR fork lower shock mounts). The only R chassis in which something like the quote claim is true is the R34, on which the turbos have the fork type and the NAs have the eye type. **Edit: Actually I reserve the right to be wrong about the above statement. It might also be true on R33s. My memory on those shitboxen has faded too much.
    • It's a scam. It has all the telltale signs: - The "business" doesn't have a physical address or really any kind of information listed - It's using a generic online store website template - The prices are ridiculously reduced. To good to be true cheap - Everything is in stock and can be ordered in any possible combination   I've seen a few of these for other products as well. Things like sunglasses for example. I'd say stay away from it! And maybe reach out to the real theskylineshed and let them know this exists. I doubt there is much they can do about it, but still.   I don't know if they would actually take your money if you ordered something. Or whether it is just for collecting credit card details to scam otherwise. I'm not game or stupid enough to try it.
    • Hi guys has anyone ever bought from this website theskylineshed.shop?? Not theskylineshed.com as I’m aware there is 2 similar but different sites.     has anyone had any issues with theskylineshed.shop???
