Are you beating yourself right now?

Jesus, its his bloody car let him sell it for what he wants. Obviously if it isn't worth it, then it will become apparant when he doesn't sell it. As for now, good luck to him, it cost him a fair old chunk to build.

theres that many skylines for sale that they are not selling, i've seen them at prices up to 11k for a r32, but i took andy @ AMT, to buy a r32, he only payed £5400 for it and it is totaly std and one of the cleanest i've seen, its was up at around 7k, but it was'nt selling, so he got him down to £5400 and the engine bay is immaculate.

He was saying that he could get 2 R32's or 4 S13's, If I can get a mint R32 for just shy of 2.9k then I might change my mind about Jon's shell (if I'm not to late for it anyway :o )

s13eater 27-07-2007 12:56

why whats your plans mate ? rb26 into jons shell !:)

JackieFan 27-07-2007 13:02

Just the 8V for now (if I can get jon's shell :o ). Might go against the grain a bit and drop a Rover V8 in there.... have to wait and see where the ol' wallet takes me. I thought it was about time to actually own a S12 myself though! So even if I don't get Jon's I'll be on the hunt for something. I'd ideally want a notch back if I could find one :cool:

Are you genuinely interested or just trying to have a go at me?

If you are genuinely interested how it can cost 30k swedish kronor (2200gbp)
then here's a breakdown of the build...

Compare it to your engine rebuild documentation for reference.

Ported Cylinder head by the guy who tuned the Pikes Peak Saab cylinder heads, gas flowed valves, reground seats and mira 3 angled cutting, skimmed 0,5mm, volumed and equalised new valve guides and match ported to manifolds= 10 000kr (740gbp)

ENEM reground camshaft 3000kr (220gbp)

Balancing of pistons, rods, crank, flywheel and clutch 2700kr (200gbp)

New Piston rings 1000kr (75gbp)

New oil Pump 2000kr (148gbp)

Ultrasonic cleaning and testing of fuel injectors 800kr (60gbp)

Gasket set 1350kr (100gbp)

New Bearings 1350kr (100gbp)

Rising rate fuel press reg 2000kr (148gbp)

S13 Clutch Cover and uprated disc 1500kr (110gbp)

T25 Turbo w/modified oil drain and actuator to fit std. manifold 1500kr (110gbp)

Braided hose for oil feed 300kr (22gbp)

Heat shielding for turbo and oil lines 500kr (37gbp)

Flowed and heat wrapped Manifold 1000kr (75gbp)

V740 FMIC and hoses 1500kr (110gbp)

Porsche 944T Rad and fans (still part of engine assy.) 2500kr (185gbp)


I built the engine to be bullet-proof and run it safe. Aspirations of trying drifitng but primarily as an endurance racing car in the scandinavian long distance racing series, 250bhp is plenty for me, 400bhp would make it a class winner in SLC, but also involve more expense with transmission/clutch etc, as well as jeapoardising the longevity of the build.
If you want to buy the engine then I can supply and fit CP 8.4:1 forged pistons, DET rods (balanced of course) and girdle for an additional 10 000kr (740gbp).

This is a professionally built engine, not some thrown together piece of junk by some spotty faced moped tuning adolescent... The prices above are only the costs involved, no labour is included. (well, ok, I did the head myself, but the price is what anyone else would pay).

Wheels are compomotive split rims, check the price yourself... plus a whole truck load of R tyres go with them.....

Roll cage kit 4500kr for the kit and about 100 hours to fit it. I think 10 000kr for a fitted cage is cheap at 55kr an hour in labour! (4 gbp an hour!). It is a fully welded SBF approved endurance racing cage, not a wannabee drifter bolt in cage..

I could go through the stack of invoices for the parts involved in the car build but it would scare the crap out of me...

These prices are all of the top of my head.... there could be a few quid here and there difference.
