as it states guys where is your go to supplier for hardware these days this thread would be great for anyone on here doing the same as me (building a tough rb26) or planning to build who wants to know where they can get good products at a good price.

I got most of my parts a few years ago imported from states for less than half what we pay here

thanks for that info man can we get some names of mobs please !!

What do you want? Bottom end? Top end? Bolt ons?

Really you are better off doing your own research and getting what you want

You might want to buy aussie made (spool or nitto) or you might want to go for Japanese parts

I bought all my gear from Real Street Performance in the US.

Prices were yeah, half or less.

Can even get JB Precisions for like 1k delivered. My cams were like $400, rods $400... Everything was dirt cheap and I was able to build a much better quality engine as a result.

ARP stuff (ie head/main studs, rod bolts) is heaps cheaper from the states then from here

engine hardware for a build is what im chasing at the moment i have been re searching just asking around thats all !!!! no harm im sure other people would like to know aswel

Just went through Jesse streeter in Japan for my tomei oil pump. 1300 delivered. Your best bet is to shop around ,some prices here in Australia can be pretty good.

thanks again

I like to try and support Aussie business where I can but when the price difference is that big what can you do.

I buy my stuff from the net, mainly the US and Japan. There isn't one company I would say I'm partial too, each company tends to have the best prices on different things. Can find a lot of good stuff on ebay too haha. Sometimes you'll get hit with GST with items over $1000aud. Some places sort of fudge the value hahha

Heya guys,

I used http://www.rawbrokerage.com/ for my last RB26 rebuild. Cheapest OE gasket kit by far (nearly half price incl delivery) and cheap Tomei Poncams (~$500 at the time)

Ebay is good for piston/rod/bearings.

Mark :)

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
