Hi guys,

This was up for sale a while ago by Blitz one of the admins on here, please find below link to his ad.

http://www.skylinesa...ost__p__6317686

My number is - Zero four 17 159 662

I have converted this to RWD and all the modifications to run in this format have been completed and the engine is currently sitting in a black 32 Gtst to show how it fits.

I have recently purchased a new Subaru WRX and decided not to finish the project at this stage so will be selling the engine as it was received with the sump modifications done for anyone looking to convert their Skyline.

I am looking for $4200 and am pretty firm on price and may consider seperating the head from the block if the price is decent enough.

I am willing to sell the 32 rolling shell with it for extra if anyone wants it, I have a full genuine GTR front end for the car as well, the price for that would be $6500 pretty firm.

May swap for some go fast bits for the WRX if you happen to have anything and cash or even a standard 32 Gtst as a friend is looking to purchase one.

Please find below a cut and paste of the information from previous owner;

I have for sale my RB26DETT engine setup out of my late model Series 3 R33 GTR.

This engine is in excellent condition and in stock standard trim, right down to stock turbo's, dump pipes and injectors.

To give you some background, I purchased my GTR as a Grade 4.5 with 84,000 Km's from Japan in late 2009 after an extensive search for the right car, and with the exception of a cat back exhaust and Power FC, the the engine was and remains standard. Once the car arrived it was given a full 100k service including new Timing Belt, Water Pump. full fluid flush, plugs, then

a compression test which revealed perfect results across all 6 cylinders, and finally a dyno tune for safety which was performed at one of Sydney's premier GTR building workshops.

The car has been used only very sparingly since coming into the country as plans for a build were put in place almost immediately, and has now covered only 87,000's

The engine has been religiously serviced, or rather pedantically over-serviced at my request by Just Jap Racing in Sydney using only the best Motul lubricants and fluids.

Wow thats cheap

3 cars and 1 car space, had a buyer for the shell it was in so just needed to get rid of it quickly, not happy with the price but sick of the new WRX sitting on the street as it voids my insurance.

    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole
