I talked to a guy today and this guy had a RB26 to sell, no exhaust manifold and turbo´s but totally ok.The problem is leaking piston rings, probably detonation´s and missing piston or ring parts.I will rebuild this one totally sooo it´s not that bad with the pistons.

Now to my question, price on this one? Hard... Is $1000-1300 ok?

With those problems I'd say 500 USD as your first offer and let him counter if he wants. I wouldn't pay more than 1000 for problems like that on a 26 and this is assuming you get ecu and wiring with it.

No ECU and stuff because he swapped to a new engine in his GT-R but I don´t need it, would go stand alone on that engine.Max 1000 bucks, Ok. Thanks!
