RB26240Z

OK, photos in the member gallery, one is little blurry, I will get a better shot with the bottom flipped to top.

240z master, I am trying to post images but I am not having any luck. Do I download from the "reply to thread" screen?

I guess the later R32 R33, and R34 dont have the holes drilled and plugged. Thanks for the link 240z master.

After taking the oil pan out I checked for the rear dipstick hole but I don't seem to find it there, isn't there supposed to be a brass plug? I did the search and it says there should be a brass plug and can be punched out from the underside. Thanks Henry

Did you call the guys that I pm'd you about? They are fairly reasonable and do good work too. Henry

Here is another set of manifolds on ebay, more expensive, but he claims it is 3 mm stainless, and original mounting position. http://cgi.ebay.com/GTR-RB26DET-Stainless-Extractors-Headers-Skyline-Nismo_W0QQitemZ4605485977QQcategoryZ43808QQcmdZViewItem

Can't be that fast, there are no stickers on it.

I'm 70% done with my rb26 swap, and I'll put it in writing, it will cost you $25k+, although I started with a stripped shell, and pretty much replacing every nut & bolt. I figure with that kind of power, you have to do it right from the begining, or it's gonna cost more later.

This is another site with manuals. It's $5 per section if you want to download the pdf. http://www.repairmanual.co.nz/

That's funny vince, cuz I picked mine up from Bernard too. No ECU with this motor, however harnesses and sensors are all there. I will be using the SDS, so the original ECU wouldn't matter. Henry

After a 15 hour round trip non stop drive, the motor is finally home. Now I need to start cleaning it up and get it prepped for install. Debating if I should really get into it and do a full build up, or get it running first. Any ideas are welcome.

Here are some earlier pics. looks more done now. I will add pix later.

Just saw a hood at pic n pull this morning for 75, looked a lot better than that!

this might be a little extreme, but Check your and your g/f's car make sure there are no tracking devices attached to the cars. All he needs is a tracking device stuck under the car and a cell phone to follow you all over the place.

Don't forget to add, short and long term goals of the business plan, and identify strength and weaknesses, with projections for future demand.

That's a good program with a good rate. This is exactly what I was talking about. (Not planning to sell and locked in a good program). Good choice Tim

Since I do appraisals and real estate for a living, I'll put in my .02 cents. Most of the comments are right on target. In terms of a home's value, a house is appraised based on the value of similar homes that sold in a one mile radius within the past six months. Usually 4-6 comparables are used and price adjustments are made. Some examples, (here in California, it might be different for other states) Swimming pool= 10,000 Jacuzzi=5000 Bathroom= 3000-5000, if the property is on a busy street or near a freeway an adjustment up to 35,000 can be done. Age of the building 10,000-25,000, adjustments are also made for external and functional obsolescence, e.g property being near an airport or railroad tracks. All these numbers are not fixed, it is the result of different data, county records.... If there is an addition to the property, it is only considered by the appraiser when it is done by a permit and the city records show the addition. Personally, I get the question of "What do you think will happen to this market" about 4 -5 times daily. And, my answer is, if I knew I would not tell anyone and make lot of money! However, my own opinion based on this market is we might see a slight downward adjustment by the end of the year and a period of flat movement ahead. I don't think there is going to be a sharp drop. Real Estate in Los Angeles sells for up to 500/sq.ft, for areas that were selling for 185/sq.ft 5 years ago. Are these houses worth that much, I think not. It is the market and human psychology. When there is equilibrium, the market is flat. When sellers are in control market goes up, and when buyers are in control, market is generally on a downslope. If you are not planning to sell your home in the next 8-10 years, it does not matter what happens to the real estate market (granted you have a good loan program locked in for at least 10 years). If you are trying to get the top dollar for your house, now is the time to sell. If you are buying, I would wait till next year. Sorry for the long post, hope it 's of some help. Henry

uhhhh, why?
