Have a spare Rb26dett engine ($3k)

Complete, only things missing are air flow meters and computer

Good condition and good compression

No longer needed as I have a rebuilt engine ready to go into my race car if it blows up (this engine was a spare that I never used as the car is still going strong)

Engine was removed from a running car that was imported and stripped for spares

Come and inspect it, inappropriately touch it, and buy it

Located in Lower Blue Mountains Sydney

I also have a complete Gtr head with intake and exhaust with a wiring loom for sale $1500, perfect for an Rb30 conversion

i am quite keen on this, you say complete so i take it stock turbos are attached? Im still contemplating the reliability on these old 32 26's with out a rebuild. Your probly the right person to ask, How much would i bee looking at to get this "forged" to hold a reliable 300kw all day every day

The engine itself will hold 300kW with an awesome tune quite well. The rods are good for that and the pistons will last if the tune is right. Its more a question of how warn is the engine, are the rings fried, does the head need to be reconditioned etc.

The biggest issue is the oiling system in these. Thats the big one to be sorted, and how to sort it depends on what the car is to be used for.

Really, you could get away with forged pistons, new bearings, an acid bath and hone, basic head rebuild, metal head gasket, arp head studs, but spend your money on a crank collar, good harmonic balancer and either an N1 pump with billet gears or a high flow jap oil pump such a Tomei unit with a correctly sized restrictor in the block. If its for track use, fit a large sump, mines baffle plates etc.

That would have you a good setup. But you wont see much, if any change from $6k. I'm currently up to $5k and that doesn't include bearings, ANYTHING head related, just pistons, rods, harmonic balancer, an an oil pump, no labour for anything yet either. Thats with the best of the best gear though.

    • 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?
    • 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. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
