As the title states, i'm looking to buy a complete rb26 head to build a 26/30. must be in good condition and come with all covers, also after a standard intake side to suit and the engine loom. don't want or need the exhaust side. Brisbane sellers preferred but will buy interstate if the deal is right from a reliable seller. May also consider complete rb25det neo engines. 0433 559 722.

I have a standard (albeit pink, could use a repaint) plenum, throttle bodies and balance tube.

Would be after $800 for the lot plus postage. Located in Wollongong NSW.

I also have a standard RB26 head, but it has a slight indentation on the mounting face on no.6 cyclinder.

Dont know if it can be filled in and then machined flat, as i havent had the time to enquire about it.

It is complete, just dont have the covers for it. But it will need a service anyway as it has been sitting in storage for a long time.

Thanks for the reply mate but i have already found a couple that i'm looking at. one complete running top end minus turbo's $1500 and another low k top end minus covers for $1300.

Your head probably can be fixed. I have a rb25det neo head here thats like that but worse. not game to use it though. Had enough stuff arounds with this build.

In melb & have a 33 rb26 complete motor minus injectors & loom snipped so no injector connectors either.

Block needs bore, but haven't taken head off.

block needs a bore but you havent taken the head off? did you inspect by remving sump and crank?? how many k's and how much?

I cant confirm klm's.

mechanic used some fancy tool to look at the bore.

Chasing around $1800, however can vary depending on what bits you want.

I still have the intake side, plenum, throttles and balance tube sitting here mate if you need it.

Bump. Still after a mint condition head as I just got ripped off alot of money by an upstanding member of sau who thought it would be a good idea to lie through their teeth and sell me their lump of scrap metal. Only need a complete head now. no manifolds. Don't even think of trying to palm off your rubbish to me. I need a head in perfect condition. stock or built. Photo's and receipts have preference as do QLD sellers. Contact me if you are a genuine seller. Pieces of shit need not apply.

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
