can someone please help me out. i have a 1992 r32 GTS (non-turbo). the timing belt has slipped and it seems my

engine is stuffed. so i am looking for someone who knows their stuff that could recondition/repair it. if anyone

knows of any place in melbourne that does this sort of stuff with skyline engines can they please reply, as i want

to get a few quotes from people who know what they're doing before going through with it. so far i have been

offered a fairly high price, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

looking forward to ur help.

i'm with just cars... i pay $600 /yr

and can't afford any more than that

(and that's only 3rd party too)

...how much would it cost me all up to put that engine in?

i do want to get some quotes on repairing/reconditioning my engine too though and then compare and decide...

i'd rather get my engine rebuilt new than get a used one (as it may have been thrashed...etc)

not sure... i would say that it would probably cost more as u would have to pay for a new engine (unless doxxeh feels nice and wants to sell it for a couple of bucks :D) etc

worth a look tho man

do a search in this forum for ICE and u will find em...

cant remember the number and stuff... someoen made a post last week looking for their contact details so it should pop up in the search.

1 more thing... there was a limited number of R32s released with the RB25DE if im not mistaken which also proves they should swap over quite easily in the way of room.

try www.meggala.com one of the locals webpages... should be lots of info on lines and stuff.

it says at http://www.meggala.com/meggalacomnew/frames1.htm

that the RB20DE is a free reving engine. so does this mean that if the cam belt slips, the engine should not be damaged? could the ppl i took it to to have it looked at be shifty and just saying that?

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
