Tony Marsh, but only because hes a friend, he doesnt waste his time on anything but full house race motors and customers with unlimited budgets. Hitec are RB specialists also, it really depends what you want....

Why not drop Bresciani an email and see what they can do for a $10k budget... they may be able to build you a motor and send it over Are you talking about spending $10k on the motor alone, or does that budget include turbo, cooler, manifold, ECU and fuelling??

No Marsh didnt touch my motor, Hitech are good, and rips in Rotorua export to the UK, just do the research. And form a plan. Last quote i got to rebuild engine with forge pistons and all nissan genuine bearings and gaskets was $5000.00 for short motor. Still got head work to look at ,cam, turbo, injectors fuel pumps, ECU etc so it will be tight on 10 g but do-able. For the street 300Kw is alot of power and very very loose in a vl
