Not wow as in big, wow as in that has to be one of the neatest getting around.

thanks mate, just bought it about a month ago, slowly slowly, hopefully it'll see some track time early next year

Oh...

That's not the 33R that blew it motor at Sandown is it? Sold by Bel a month or so ago?

Correct, as I've been pulling the motor apart, I found a decent sized crack in the block behind the alternator. I think it threw a rod in cylinder 1 =/

So yeah it did get track time and hopefully it will get some more track time when I manage to source a motor

you got me =P

In all seriousness, if anybody has a contact or is selling an R33 RB26, with engine number (RB26-059xxx) onwards, please let me know. I'm keen as mustard to get this thing running!

Yeah, I was tracking that same day with him.

What are your plans? Buy a second hand rb26 and put it straight in? or a rebuild?

If your doing a rebuild, feel free to PM me and I can get you a quote

Also have a mate who has a n1 block in his garage that I'm trying to twist his arm to sell it

Edit: just read your above post

Damn...Well yeah, at least the rest of the car is clean and straight as!

Well I'm not gonna rebuild it with this block. Depends what I can get really from now till end of year. If I can find a good 2nd hand one, I'll just do a mild refresh (Cosworth 1.1mm HG, ARP2000 rod bolts, ARP headstuds, oil restrictor, enlarge oil returns, baffled sump, new water pump, N1 oil pump, blah blah blah)

If not, then I'll look for a bare block perhaps N1 like you said, new head, new crank, CP+Eagle combo, Tomei Type B and all the rest of the above plus all the other usual stuff

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
