[Nay Nay]

one step ahead already asked about it.. but its over in melbourne so no good for us in theory...but ive decide to located the problem get that fixed and then start adding mod and updating parts i think that will be the way we go

[Nay Nay]

i took my car to sanders today hes a machanic and he has found the problem and told me to buy a new engine so for an engine and a few other bits i looking at $8,500

Scroll to see storm pooper's 360hp =/

Rebuild = better than buying another unknown engine though

[Socrates]

[Mally]

Agreed. you could buy another engine. and it could do the same thing in a couple of months

[Ten Four]

Really? Well if it's fucked give it to me then.

Nar its mine. You dont even have a RB26 but then again, its a nice RB26 head for your 30 if its still ok.

[NA_Goodness]

I'd say rebuild as well. For the same price you have a brand new motor that you KNOW will not fuck up on you.

[Hanaldo]

If you're going to be forking out 8.5k, I would also definitely go for the rebuild. I can't see how it would cost more than 8.5k to fix, what exactly is the problem?

[Nay Nay]

i ve been told that something under coilpack 4 is broken aka the engine is broken is the way sanderws put it he sid a rebuild would be no good as it would possibly cost too much to fix that one thing in parts and labour than to just replace it...but she'll be off the road for a good few months

and hheheh im keeping the engine that comes out of her

[Nay Nay]

than just to replace the engine*

"something under coilpack 4 is broken"
sounds like he really knows his shit......
time for a second oppinion. i can organise to pull the engine out for cheap with a mate-o mine but then u'll need to tow the car etc
pull the head off go from there.
u might be able to just buy a new head which would be bout 1-1.5k

[V8EATER]

I would be pulling the head off for a lookski.

[2LV8ETR]

I've been saying go the simple route first, but I think Renae's made her mind up.

Ah well, what can ya do?

[NA_Goodness]

Yeah, let her go. If the absolute worst happens and the new motor blows up again, well I take first dibs!!

[Hank Scorpio]

Take it to Denzo, he'll build you a mad 26 for $8,500!

[Nay Nay]
