Best Place To Buy A Quality Rb26

[Gts-t]

As the title states i am trying to work out where in the country is the best place to buy a RB26 from a 33GTR. Ultimately i would like to get the 33GTR half cut, minus panles and brakes so i can remove the engine myself (read:carefully) at my workshop.

I am not looking for the cheapest R32 engine i can find. Instead i am looking for a good quality R33 engine with around 100k kms or less on it.

Everyones input would be very much appreciated!

i would say the easys place to find one would be japan but it takes abit of time, finding the engine then getting it on the boat and then waiting for it to come.

I said in the country for a reason, its is not the easiest option for me to grow wings and fly to japan and find one and send it home.... for me anyway.

Anyone know anywhere else apart from just jap, really looking to hear from people who have actually purchased one and what there experiences were etc.

I wouldn't bother looking for a good engine, just buy any engine and rebuild it when you get it. A 100,000klm r33 engine wont be much better than your average 150,000klm r32 engine, especially if you start turning the boost up.

Build it up first and *know* that you have a good engine instead of taking a chance with a second hand one

A guy on these forums bought his engine from www.tweakit.net I think it was ...

Was a 33N1 engine for around 6k ...

I would reccomend Ultimate Performance Imports in Melbourne, speak to Dean.

Ultimate Performance Imports

I purchased a 33 GTR motor from Dean about 18 months ago, he told me they did a leak down on it and it was a very good, and that it was. When the motor arrived we took bearing caps off etc to check it and it was one of the cleanest motors internally my workshop had seeen. So much so it made 340 kw atw without a hitch and is still a very healthy engine. Would not hesisite to purchase another engine from them.

thats EXACTLY the truth duncan and i have recently had to rebuild my "low km" rb26 which is f**ked a piston ring, so i would buy a cheap as shit motor and rebuild it to stock even, atleast u know its fresh

100 000km is alot for a rb26, my workshop said anything around and over that many km's and they dont last with more boost etc

good luck

You can do that but one day if you are called for a Full EPA you will not pass as the engine is older than the car. Guess thats the only downfall but hey, how often are you called for a full EPA? lol

How can they prove the engine is older than the car? Nissan FAST does not provide original engine numbers for a VIN
