Australia LS 2 Twin Carbs

I build Banks Twin Turbocharged Chev Motors

Australia 420 CID 6-71


 Silvester is currently advertising an LS3 430Hp $12,900 NZ, but the price is out of date, however using it as a comparison.
At the time I could have sold you that motor for $10,810NZ, waiting for pickup at Kiwi Shipping, meaning including freight.


I see Silvester's price does not include GST.
AT 15% $12900NZ becomes $14,835 and from me $12,320NZ.

You will find my website is not like all the other engine builder websites. That is because I am not like other engine builders who have motors for sale. I build engines for specific applications or find an engine for the application. The popularity of GM LS engines has me finding good used engines and sending to NZ.  There is a ton of information in my website, you can read it all or just write to me now with your questions.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

I am John Nijssen from Timaru. I have lived in California since 1982.
At the beginning of the 21st century, I began building performance V8 engines specializing for overseas clients.
I have been building engines for 40 years, I did my apprenticeship at Smith regrinds in Christchurch.


I wrote this webpage to show New Zealanders I can provide V8 engines at the best pricing they will find anywhere.
Most V8 engines sold in NZ a Chevs and are either GM crate motors or Blueprint Engines which is Marshall Engines of Nebraska. They are a large company and focus on building the lowest cost engines. If you are considering a Blueprint engine, check with me and compare the price.
While I can build engines using the same cheap parts, I just leave those engines to them and the others.
Pro Comp and Speedmaster are the same company and have the cheapest Chinese parts anywhere. 
I have been forced to use some of them in the past, and usually, regret it having to re-machine them to make them work.

Proformance Unlimited are quality engines, and you will pay more for one of them, than for a more powerful engine from me, but they deliver sooner.
I've looked on the NZ websites, including Trademe where you can by a V8 engine and I've talked to Tony Marsh about his pricing. There is no way you can buy from them for less than from me.

On this page I feature some of the engines I have sent to NZ, I can't show them all, scroll down and see how full this page has already become.
Even if you are not in the market for an engine I hope you enjoy the contents.
If you need a V8 engine I can either supply you one of those GM crate engines at a lower price OR build you a real performance motor, Chev, Ford, Buick, whatever.
No need to stuff a Chev motor in your Ford, do it right get a powerful Windsor, Cleveland or big block, even an FE.
If you want a used engine found on say eBay, like a Camaro or Mustang engine I can help you out. I can get you a supercharged LSA engine from a Cadillac.   

 I can also supply Transmissions. Accessories kits. ECU packages. Superchargers. EFI Systems. Cars. Diffs. 
WHAT DO YOU NEED?    

 I can get you stuff from Summit Racing and ocean ship it for less money than paying Summit air freight.

Then there is eBay, craigslist Racingjunk etc. All that cheap used stuff.
If you need used stuff I'll look for it for you.

I can get used LS engines from the largest supplier in the Los Angeles area.

LS3s are lower cost than large CID motor because they are less popular here.

This might be perfect for you. Write with any questions.



​
I am not limited to just engine products.
I've sent cars to Australia, sent EFI systems to England, engine rebuild kits to Russia, wheels to Sweden.
 
Currently (Sept 2016) the NZ to US dollar 7.23, so $10,000NZ buys $7230US. 

Rising oil prices will strengthen the US dollar so the exchange will likely not improve.

Now 12/2018 $6848





I don't mess with taking a cut for exchanging currency.
I run transactions through either https://www.ofx.com/en-nz

Or very popular in NZ TransferWise. Look for an invitation in my email reply

​
I have found this is the best way to send money without additional fees.
You can use a bank to bank wire transfer but there are additional fees.

I can accept a credit card but it will cost you additional fees charged by PayPal





The cost of ocean shipping an engine pallet to NZ is approx. $700NZ plus $250NZ in fees
You pay them directly, no profit taking by me.
As you know GST is 15% there and is based on the declared value.


Before You Import into NZ You MUST Have An Importer Code Number.

​It Is FREE And You Can Download The Application Here 

As a New Zealander I know how we are, we think we can get this cheaper if I do it myself.
As an old man, I've learned that is not always true.

You can contact Summit Racing or Jegs and buy directly from them and pay for air shipping, or you can contact me for an estimate for putting a bunch of stuff in a box or on a pallet and ocean ship it for way less.
Think of me as your go-to guy in the States. If I can help and save you a buck, great!

My stock and trade is building performance V8 engines, see the rest of my website, I do this on the side.
 
You are welcome to phone me but consider the time difference, I'm not getting out of bed to answer the phone.

I build some very unique engines.
