"Any color you want, so long as its dirt brown."

I've seen other pictures of warehouses that just store piles and piles of RB26, RB25, and SR20 motors on top of eachother, just waiting to get an address to ship them to. It's a shame that most of those (from what I've heard) end up arriving in bad need of a complete rebuild.

Imagine what will happen once we hit 2014 and those R32s start flowing over...

Couldn't you import one of those engines for off-road/agricultural/farm use?

If it would run. Bear in mind that most of these are blown performance engines that people would pay high dollar to import. Some of them probably run fine, some of them could have a ruined block. It wouldn't be a problem, except for every mistake in the original engine, you have to ship over new parts for it. Some of these hunks of metal go on Ebay for $2000-$5000, the price of an entire car. They usually go to performance shops who have the tools to rebuild them properly and think its worth it, or to idiots who don't know what they're doing.

If you're doing agricultural stuff, just pull a much cheaper engine domestically. If you're in the US, you can pick up a lot of good, old diesel engines for a lot less than it would cost to touch these things.

I would punch one of your mothers in the nose for that R32 on the wall. Maybe all of your mothers! Maybe!

It amazes me what people pay for a long block...If they only knew you could buy a whole running driving R32 for the same price, then have somebody half cut it and send it to you.

That way you know it's at least a decent car, and then you get everything, which means extra parts to sell to recoup a little dough if you're so inclined.

I mentioned agricultural/offroad because I wasn't sure you could import one outright. I wasn't saying I was planning on powering my excavator and skidsteer with RB26's, however unique that would be, lol.

The shipping and labor costs scare people. They're thinking "don't get anything extra it will cost a lot more" and "it will be easier to just install the engine than tear it out of another car". Bad mistake.

The engines are fine to import, as long as you can find a way to meet local emissions. The cars however, not so much. It all has to do with getting registered and that VIN plate.

Forget all the others, I want this one!

why that 33 over the other 33s?

It appears to be the only R33 GT-R of the three visible. The top left is a GT-S at best (giveaway is the bumper) and the top middle one doesn't have the correct GT-R split-spoke wheels or the correct rear wing.

my expertize for such things is Honda not Nissan, it's always good to hear other Jalops share their addictions :D

How to anger so many people who want a 1989 GT-R.
