I have put in an alpina 282 cam shaft with big injectors, Bosch 011 ECU, ported head, larger air intake, fuel pressure regulator, M5 gear box with special copper clutch, 535 differential and finally a 150 HP Nitrous...

Thanks for your help with the RSG guy....

(i thought the new 745 engine)

Damn, you just became one of my uaeboost heroes ..

Why don't you do / try your engine yourself? There are quite a few bolt on turbo kits for R34's, and you seem to know what a wrench is..

What shop does your brother run? Make advertising man!!

The new 745 V8 engine will not fit in the car (at least if I have to still be able to renew its registeration in Dubai...!!! They are very tough as you know).
Anyway, I believe in specialization and thats why I want a specialist to build my car and not any guy who claims alot and delivers nothing ...besides, I was warned by a lot of people not to trust my GTR with any of those unknown garages as it seems that alot have suffered from expensive but not very reliable jobs..

Our garage is called KAISSI AUTO SERVICE (it is located behind Garagah workshop in Khubaisi area behind Bin Sulayim.....) special discount for UAEboost members...... :wink:

COOL MAN!!

Do you have a website or some online catalogue?

(Before you get bombarded with questions like.. do you have X, do you sell Y, how much is Z, ...)

Salem...figured I'd do this in public instead of via pm so that everyone has the info. Based upon my figures you're looking to spend approximately $32,000USD for just your motor build. Let me first caution you that such a motor would definitely need an upgraded transmission and suspension to handle such immense power. Let me see what I can do in terms of just having a full motor built for you. Here is a motor that we actually sell for $42,000USD

TS RB26 2.8L Complete Base Engine
Specifications Engine: RB26DETT N1,HKS 2.8L Kit
Piston: HKS Step 2 (88mm)
Con-rods: HKS H-shape
Crankshaft: HKS Step 2
Studs: TOP SECRET
Ported: Fully done by TOP SECRET
Polished: Fully done by TOP SECRET
Camshaft: HKS 272/272 Step 2
Valve Springs: TRUST
Valve: Standard
Valve Guide: Standard
Oil Pump: TRUST Big Capacity
Oil Sump: TRUST Big Capacity with baffled.
Head Gasket: HKS t=1.2mm
Power Rating: Engine capability is 800-850ps.
Rev Limit: 8,500rpm

We can also build one to your specifications...I'll also check with some other companies to see what a built motor from them would cost.

another option you have is to have a Tomei built motor. they offer packages that allow you to send them a motor and then they build it to certain specs.

Jun makes some of the highest quality parts around and they offer nearly everything for the RB26 with exception of full built motors, but I'm sure that could be arranged to have them build one.

Mines offer full engine kits as well for around $20,000USD

what i don't understand with you guys, so enlighten me

u can buy Ready made 10Sec R32's stolen from japan.. for like 70,000 DHS
or other 500-600hp GT-R's and Supra's..

why don't u just buy one? take out the motor,tranny,suspension,brakes,ECU,rollcage,gauges,recaro's...etc etc.. put it in your skyline.....

then sell ur stock motor setup for 10-15,000dhs recover part of the cost..

and have a awesome car.. for cheap..


if i lived in uae.. i woulda done it.. or hell if i could find a JDM RX7 in UAE.. i'd buy it and swap it all in my US spec RX7... no one does it better than the japs do..

A lot of people want a street legal car, which is usually original LHD.

So, if a LHD skyline could be found somewhere, and you swap in all the rest, sure then. No problems, yet that is where the trouble lies. Plus, registration as well, it's more and more difficult to register them for expatriates (and I think dubai peaks out at 85% expats).

A track car, yeah - go to ducamz and pick up a 10.000dhs r32, tune it up and you have a killer on the track.. but you need a trailer to go home then.

I would'nt buy a stolen car, its against my ethics and values.
I am more keen now to keep my stock GTR234 enginge aside and buy a ready built one. As I am not sure that I will find a Japanese upgraded engine in UAE that will deliver 700+ HP, I think it is better to buy one ready built from famous tuners such as Tomei, HKS....etc.
Topsecret, the engine that you have quoted me is owesome, the problem is it is above my budget. (by the way, does the price include the turbo kit or not?). Do you know if Tomei will build me one and can you arrange it? (or if HKS can build a lower budget one?around 25 K $??)

sorry to burst ur bubble... but just cuz ur car is stock.. what makes u think it's not stolen?

have u guys ever CHECKED the price of Skylines in other countries other than UAE? like in Japan it self for example...

like king buyer or kaz. ??

unless u bought that skyline urself from japan.. chances are it's been car jacked...


no where else in the world to stock R32's sell for 20,000 dhs. and R33 for 50,000 dhs...

u guys are just fooling yourselves.. sorry to tell ya...

but whatever makes u sleep easier at night...

Ottoman...you might be right about some cheap r32s .....but my car has the original factory keys with it (with remote control) which i think most of the Gtrs dont have in UAE. My GTR34 was imported directly from japan for a very trused guy who paid alot for it.....It costed him around 130K Dhs (stock car...no modifications!!).
Silvio..subzero garage do sell HKS products (he will have to order everything for you) and he does his our machening and balancing as well..
