Who To Use For Rebuild???

[Z32 Airlines]

Otay, question...

I have 1 X R33 GTS-T S1, off the rd for past 18 mths, had a blow by and hence ruined #1 piston. Only gear on the machine was FMIC, Zorst, BOV, and Air Filter...I now have a set of Wiseco forged pistons std size as I have been informed that there was NO bore damage. I want to know, who in Sydney is going to do an AFFORDABLE but decent job of putting the pistons in, cleaning it up and getting the damn thing going again? I have only the std turbo and computer, dont want anything different yet. Suggestions on who, guesses on how much I'm looking at to get it done???

Call Unique Autosports

They have done a few build ups for people

Okay but are they expensive?? I'm not being a tight arse but really just want the car fixed so can I sell it.

Ask Brendan (B-Man) about his experience with the rebuild at UAS, then give UAS a call to find out what they charge.

I got recommended a place that does 1000hp engines for those high speed bridge to bridge water ski race boats. From what i've been told they are very good and have a lot of experience building engines. I think you have to remove the engine from the car yourself and drop if off there.

If you want more info I can ask.

another suggestion is what I did, just buy a second hand engine and have it put in. Cost me under $2k and I hope to recover some of that selling the old engine (whether fixed or not)

[Z32 Airlines]

Duncan, where the hell did you score a 2nd hand engine for under 2K?? Did you get Turbo, etc with it or basically just motor less Turbo, Computer etc?? Line me up where do I go for one???? Who put yours in and how much??

[Duncan]

sure, talk to Steve over at Just Jap, mine was less turbo and flywheel (since it came from an auto), no puter. you of course do not end up with a freshly rebuilt engine, but that may not be much of a problem when you are selling it.

And installing the engine, talk to Nathan at Grey Imports in Annandale, they can do a great price for you. 9519 5150 Let Nathan know I passed you on

So what did he charge you approx??

[Duncan]

not sure at this stage, our race team has a deal with them. However, others on here (eg Fatz, Blitz) have used them for other mechanical work and found them very competitive, I'd suggest giving them a call on monday

[B-Man]

Why are you putting forged pistons in an engine that is just going to be put back in to be sold ??

Sell the forgies, Buy a second hand engine and replace - you will get better value that way.

Have you got a quote from UAS for the work ?? Why do you think they are expensive ??

Yeah Just Jap & Give Nath a call - he's a good bloke.

Sorry to be off topic but I didnt wanna start a whole new thread, and Z32 has the same blow by problem. Well here goes:

My car had a really bad case of Blow By where it was smoking (bluish) out the exhaust at anything past 4000RPM and a fair bit too, cause I would look in my rear view and the cars behind are engulphed in it, and there was oil seeping out of the boost controller.

I ran it for around 1000kms really easily (nothing over 3000rpm) and it seems to run really really smooth now, no smoke any more even to 6000rpm, I was contemplating doing something about it, but should I bother now?

[Duncan]

hey dezerteagle, you just need to get a compression test done...that will tell you if you have bad news or not....

[Z32 Airlines]

Dezert you lucky prick, mine was the same and I could still drive it however I didnt think it was going to last too bloody long, I had EXACTLY the same happen, bluish smoke at anything over 4K etc, but WHEN mine blew initially, I stopped and opened bonnet the disptick had blown out of the tube, there was oil fu(king everywhere, there appeared to be a crack in a manifold somewhere as there was an enormous "shhhhhhhhhhhhh" noise that increased in volume with rev's, there was a rubber pipe split form a sensor, don't know which sensor though, driver side and basically small black boc couple of inches all round on the firewall...drove for two days afterwards, from Penrith into the city and back then Penrith to Kurrajong and it BARELY made it, so pulled it apart and ready to do something about it now :-)

[DezertEagle]

Yeh I must be a 'fortunate one'.

Damn yours sounds very bad hehe, but hey your probably going to get it err 'fixed' with better parts right?

Good luck mate!

[Z32 Airlines]

Well not exactly Dez, getting a bottom end and throwing the head, turby, computer etc on to it and then down the track going to slowly rebuild the bottom end of my old motor and slowly just buy all the bits and pieces, build it right up, then rip out the crappy engine and throw the beastly one in anyways that's the plan :-)

[DezertEagle]

Its seems like a good plan Plans run the world

You dont plan to fail, you fail to plan haha

[Z32 Airlines]

Exactly so my plan is to build an engine 1.25 times more than what I want now, by that I mean, I expect to take 12 mths, allow 15, want 300KW prefer 375, want it to cost say $15-17K but will allow alot more...
