Heya there :)

I'm selling my RB26 as a long motor to make way for a built engine.

Motor has done ~84k kms with even compression across all cylinders.

When the car arrived in Oz it had an oil cooler fitted straight away. I've done some track work with it and have decided to step up to a built engine. I have a 9L baffled and extended sump on the engine at the moment so there's no oil starve issue.

It's been tuned by HITman (a personal friend of mine for nearly 15yrs) with a Haltech Platinum Pro and made 317kw at the wheels on 19psi with -7s (standard intercooler/cams/MAFs and airbox fitted)

With a screwdriver handle holding open the airbox we saw over 330kw, whoever says GTR airboxes aren't restrictive need to buy a screwdriver and do some testing...)

It does have the following:

N1 water pump

Yellow Jacket coils (not even 1000km old)

Adjustable cam gears with new Gates belt and idler replaced a few thousand km ago.

Nismo thermostat

Also comes with coil cover, not shown in pics.

This motor is still in the car and can be driven before buying (no deposit on you, no ride, simple)

Obviously no turbos, exhaust manifolds, clutch/pressureplate.

Next problem is that I'll be away until Jan 16th, so don't expect any replies other than the random email till then. I'm sure we can work something out if you're super keen.

$2000, as it's in the car and you can drive it before it's removed. Better than a 'stab in the dark ebay special' with a photocopied dyno sheet!!

Mark :)

    • Well I don't know if it was a professional or not. I did a head gasket before so doing it on the RB wouldn't be too much of a challenge.   Already have a slight drip on the bottom radiator (almost new -_-) hose and the lower of the two heater connector hoses behind the head. Will have to fix those too.
    • Apparently very early R33s had R12, after that they switched to R134a. So if it's all OEM R134a and the parts still exist it might be worth keeping it stock. But from a quick search the condenser is really, really expensive if it's still available. Hard to say which actually ends up cheaper here, if you end up needing a new compressor the FPG kit is probably cheaper.
    • A changed head gasket is an opportunity for whoever the butt-monkey was that did the job to mess it up. And there is far more than one way for a head gasket failure to manifest. Besides which, I did not say "head gasket failure". I just said that the coolant could be coming from there. If the gasket was not installed properly there might be a leak path from a coolant gallery to the outside and no mixing of fluids inside. Anywhere that a hose joins a hard pipe is a big opportunity for a leak. If the rubber is old then it will be brittle and it is only a matter of time before that will leak, and the same with every other bit of rubber on the car. Paranoia will eventually drive you to take the whole thing apart so you can find and replace all such. It's not easy with the plenum in place.
    • God no. I would have never bought that car if it was going to be my only one and daily driver. I don't intend to go bankrupt but I don't really want to give up on it even if it ends up eating more money than expected.
