I dont know much about engine rebuild prices but $4k sounds pretty decent to me when u consider there are kits that cost Arround the $4k mark for forgies,Rods,arp bolts and a complete gasket kit for the rb25 no fitting.I found the advertisement in drift battle magazine a month or two ago.

Rigloi is definently a respectable builder my cousin is married to a supplier of some of their parts and has heard nothing but good responses about them,and you only have to look at the ammount of cars that they have built uinder their belt.Definently trustable for a rebuild.

Have you shopped arround for a better price.

depending on what they do but its not expensive . are you taking the car to them or just the engine ? when you say forgies do mean just pistons ?

you can get forged pistons from $1000 ( including rings ) full gasket set is around $330 , bearings about $150 for main and big ends , then you have to allow say 150 to bore the block and about the same to do the crank and around 3-400 to service the cil head then there is a couple of seals that dont come with the gasket set timing belt from nissan 100 , 50 aftermarket , oil filter $10 , if you change the oil pump and water pump tensioner and idlers add that as well . if they do all that and r+r engine out of car $4 k is very cheap , if you take the engine to them and they only do half that then its not cheap .

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
