RB26 questions

[slow13dude]

Hi all,

A grab bag of questions for you. I did a search but would like a more specific answer.

1. I've checked JustJap and they price an RB26 for $6,500.00+

1.a. Is this a fair price?

2. What specific workshops in Brisbane can do a stock rebuild of an RB26?

3. How does the price of a stock rebuild compare to grabbing an engine from say JustJap?

4. If you have a BNR32 chassis and you put in an RB26 from a BNR33 or BNR34, is this now considered a "modified" vehicle for insurance purposes, all other things being equal? Or is it not considered "modified" because it's still an RB26?

Thanks for your advice.

Seems like a fair price, could possibly source a bit cheaper but thats around the norm.

You could get a decent rebuild for $6,500 including a set of forged pistons and uprated rod bolts and head studs etc.

I would personally go for the rebuild as that way you will have a fresh motor and you know what condition it is in as opposed to getting a second hand one, which can be said to be in good condition, but you never know.
