Moderators Zedman240® Posted August 11, 2009 Moderators Posted August 11, 2009 If you were planning a holiday to NZ somewhere in the near future, bring one back as hand luggage! You can grab a whole motor for approx $100... Quote
ZED660 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Check with Stewart Wilkins at SW Motorsport 45772400 at Mulgrave near Windsor he has had them in the past. Quote

NZeder Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 If you were planning a holiday to NZ somewhere in the near future, bring one back as hand luggage! You can grab a whole motor for approx $100... good luck finding one for that now yes from time to time but usually they are F'd and the crank snout has damage at that price - more like $500 for a complete engine these days and $250+ for a good crank.

Timwell Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 Up to about $500 Gav Zed. What are they worth? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted August 12, 2009 Administrators Posted August 12, 2009 Up to about $500 Gav Zed. What are they worth? Hard pressed finding 1 in Australia for that price. I paid about $800+ landed. Your best bet is to check www.trademe.co.nz and see if someone will swap out the crank of an LD28 diesel the NZ fellas put that engine in everything especially Holden's lol. Problem is I often see lots of auctions for LD28's with the crank already gone. Go figure. Quote
Mr240z Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Up to about $500 Gav Zed. What are they worth? There's been a few on Ebay over the last 12 months that both went for over $800-$1000.. If your building a stroker your looking at a shit load of money.. Quote
NZeder Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 over $500 for ship one from NZ to AU I have been told before you purchase it here in the first place. I have none left now by the way either much like my L14 rods a Gav Quote
Timwell Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 hmm yeah just scoping the scene. I can get one else where for about $800....that seems the going price....thtas retail so I thought a private sale would be a fair bit less. All good though thanks for the input. regards, Tim Quote
sexual_sushi Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I waited years before I got mine. They were usually going for minimum of $250-$300 US when I first started looking, now they seem to average about $500 US (not including postage obviously). I had purchased a few before but the sales had fallen through and I never got my crank. Recently I was lucky enough to snag one from NZ with the help of some very friendly forum members. I was recently quoted about $600 to get it sent over from New Zealand. I was considering flying over for the weekend and bringing it back as it would have only cost me $300-$400 in flights and would have got a mini holiday out of it but like I said, some very friendly people helped out and I got it over here quite cheap. I got an abosulte bargain in the end but it was about 3-4 years of searching and waiting. Good luck with the search Quote

Lucky to find 12, was thinking if I put them on eBay US the Yanks might go nuts over them, then again they might not even know what they are. How would you wife feel if LD28 cranks started to show up at your doorstep . I was thinking of starting an LD28 import business lmao. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Nissan/Engines/auction-234606504.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Nissan/Engines/auction-235364379.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Holden/Engines/auction-235035198.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Nissan/Engines/auction-235748465.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Holden/auction-233635191.htm Quote

DatZed Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Hi Tim, I am getting one checked at the machine shop at the moment. It has a bit of surface rust on it, and needs to be ground slightly. PM me if you are still in the market. Quote
Timwell Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 Hey mate, thanks for the reply, I have one now. thanks , Tim Quote
