Post here what you want, and I’ll get back to you with a quote, I’ve already spoken to some people, and since we save like mad on shipping for bigger orders, I figured I’d get the ball rolling and see how big of an order we can get. I’m already checking for the following:
S13 Silvia Full front clip, this would include the engine (redtop or blacktop, will have 2 prices) and all the body panels & stuff required for a full Silvia or Sileighty conversion. Not saying who it’s for right now, since they might want to keep it under wraps until they do the swap and unveil the finished product. If you want anonymity too, pm me instead of posting.
Okay, there is a redtop motor set available, $1800 and I was told that includes everything needed for a swap, I’ll be checking it out in person this weekend so I’ll be able to update you then.
Edit: Turns out the wiring harness and a few things were missing, my partner doesn’t know too much about engines, so he just asked for the engine & tranny. For the new price posted $1800 you would be getting EVERYTHING needed, including the wiring harness, motor & tranny mounts, all the required piping, etc… Everything to get you SR’d
if you can guarantee that this will be 100% complete (ecu, uncut harness, ignitor, etc…) and can provide compression and leakdown results, consider it sold and I’ll pick it up asap.
I’m trying to line up a shop to do compression & leakage test for you, or you can provide your own shop, we would take the whole thing there, get it tested, and you can pay and pick it up on the spot. This weekend okay for you?
We’re new at this, it would be our first engine sale, so we don’t have the whole thing worked out, we don’t even have a garage to store it in, it’s still waiting with our supplier at the moment, so pardon any delays that may occur. Also subsequent sales will possibly be more than $1800, this is kinda introductory pricing till we get established in the business and people see the quality of our motors and trust us more.
There is no cut off date, unless we run a GB, then the price can go below $1800. This is non-GB pricing right now, and the first deal is going through friday. After that goes through, we’ll have some more info on how we’re going to keep this going in a way that minimizes the risk (the risk of us paying for an engine and it not being sold) More info to come on friday after the first deal goes through.
Glad to see so much interest, but some of the requests are gonna be a bit tricky.
The RB26DETT head and block/head combination shouldn’t be too tricky to find, as well as the GTiR SR20DET, but not too sure about the SR20VE and the RB30. I thought the RB30 was only sold in Australia and was in a Holden, not an actual Nissan, if it was also on a JDM nissan, it’d really speed things up if you told me which one to look for. As for the SR20VE, we’ll definitely try, but I’m not making any promises.
It’s not that I’m picky, I just don’t think we can get stuff from Australia that’s all
And out of curiosity, are you intending to build an RB30DETT? If so, I want to ride in it They’re very rare, even in Australia, most people there use the RB25 head, since it’s a lot cheaper that way.
ok, at under 1800 for the GB…i will prolly 5 spots into this GB…
ONLY if i can leak down and comp test…just tell me when and where and ill try to make it there. with the necessary tools…off course, the harness, ecu and ignitor must be in mint shape…i hope this makes the GB cheaper for everyone …take it easy !
Well, I’ll know tommorow how good these engines are for sure. I’ve heard they’re mint from a very reliable source, but we’re picking up the bad boy tommorow and running a few tests on it. If it’s per our liking, it’s on like Donkey Kong. To tell you the truth, we’re actually really pressed for time with midterms and having to hand it over by Friday, I wasn’t thinking we’d have a buyer so soon, and was going to confirm the quality this Saturday and have everything go from there… but yea… We’re two guys that are full time students and part time employed, so you’re prolly gonna have to wait a bit for the GB (not long, I can guarantee we will be fully operational by May), and our suppliers will have to take a bit of a leap of faith on us for a large sum of money too
It just kinda started off with Allen telling me he can get an SR for his car for dirt cheap, and then I begged him to get one for me too. Then when he started poking around more, he found out we can get a lot more than two, and a lot more than just SRs, which is how we ended up with this idea.
Oh well… expect a big post tommorow and some pictures (I’m bringing the Olympus, no more cellphone pics ;))
