IMACUL8, no problems dude. A full log of the events that took place will be on my web site soon enough. Lets see fcukers try to pull that down. It's a sad, sad tale, and watching people sing the praises of someone my grandmother could out-engine-build is even sadder. dan_the_man, no problems

Boostzor, I don't think dan was bad mouthing anyone. I, on the other hand, have many interesting things to say about this subject as I recently pointed out on antilag (and got subsquently banned). What was it you said teejay, that I wouldn't have the guts to speak my mind on sau? Well, guess what... Paul, one of the best - WHAT!? -

bankids, I'm after a complete RB25DET long motor, including turbo. You have a pm. Oh, and the climate control unit in the dash

RB20 cams (aftermarket or not) will fit. Are you joking? Because I'm not laughing.

What, you guys had enough of buying every sr20 on the market and driving the price up for the rest of us? Want to move onto something else to overvalue do ya? (not that i won't sell you a rb30 short motor...)

Of course, by stock I meant stock list. They don't officially have 'stock' as a broker. Although that won't stop them picking up bargins and on-selling them. And unless you have nothing better to do with your time, it definitely is the best way to go. How much time would the majority of us waste in $/hr chasing this stuff up that could be spent in making money? I don't know about you, but my time is a lot more valuable than that. Imports 101 (and other brokers i'm sure) take all the end to end hassel away from you. I could give you examples of cases where doing otherwise is clearly a waste of time if you really want it.

Imports 101 have both stock in japan and direct access to the auctions. www.imports101.com.au

Is that the one that recently came out of per4manz? Heard good things about that too.

That doesn't include the price of the new block but it does include the price of a 2nd hand block (which i needed for the crank and rods). I'll pm you details when I get home. Good luck with whatever you choose.

$5k minimum for a basic rebuild. $7kish using forged pistons, arp bolted bottem end and standard rods shot peened. + extra for head porting, ecu, manifold, plenum, turbo, fueling, etc. But you already know that Let you know in a month or so.

Yeah, thats me. Hasn't been updated in a while because its still not bloody finished! Whats your budget like cam?

skylinegeoff, as I mentioned earlier, I am using a r33 rb25det head. You are quite correct about the block, not that it has much relevance for this topic. I posted the pic so someone could tell us if mine has been modified to fit a cam gear on intake. I was never told otherwise when it was fitted. How does it compare to a standard cam inlet front end? They are factory r33 rb25det cams on intake and exhaust.

It should have 4 bolts. This is mine: I didn't fit mine myself, so it's entirely possible that the workshop made an adpater to make it fit, but I seriosuly doubt it. Get around to your engine and take a close look at it yourself.

Yea-ha. But r33 rb25de, r33 rb25det, r34 rb25de or r34 rb25det? Obviously not a r32 rb25de as vct has been 'disabled'. The bolt patterns on all of those should be the same, but I'm trying to work out why the inlet on his is different.

the bolt pattern *is* the same. I have vct disabled on mine and an adj gear on the inlet cam. That's on a r33 rb25det head. What's yours?

You looked like you were having an ok weekend when I saw you adrian Strichnine, totally sorry about not recognising you in future trance during push... even though I'd met you in a few hours earlier. Can see it now, strich9ine shaking my hand: "hey dude, how you going tonight?" "ah, yeah. you know. not bad. pretty good....... do i, ah, know you?" "its strich9ine!" lol

So, in spite of Sard injectors known for being hard to fit (not a drop in, even with collars!), hard to tune (non-standard injector lag) and as side feed injectors, generally a pain in the ass to remove and install (pintle caps off of the shelf are they?), you recommend them do you? They are the cheapest of the jap side feeds and it shows. If you *had* to go side feeds, the nismos or hks are a far better choice. Rails cost nothing and theres a far greater range of top feeds. I don't blame the_tonkau for going this route.

I'll be there. So infected mushroom is going to be big, issit?

Thats how they all go Is that an internally gated gt35? What sort of specs? I was looking at an hks low mount manifolds (very nice!) for my gt35 my but it didn't look like the mainfold could be used with an external wastegate.

Oh dear god.

Aight!! I'll in touch about both events adrian

I'd be worried about exactly what it was that went "chk chk churr griiiind kkk" after the radiator hose popped. 10 secs worth of driving is a lot of revolutions of the engine! (sorry, i never see the brighter side of things )

Yes! That happened to me as well. I'll pull the mofo out and fix it now. By 'plastic welded' did you mean melted together by the heat of a lighter?

Hey everyone, nice to catch up with those I did. Was I the only one who spent any time in plastiks? Felix was making the place go off! Although from what I heard about breaks downstairs I was bit upset I missed out on Tayo. Oh, btw: Wow. Funny stuff.

Nah, it'll be $7k minimum with forgies + head rebuild + turbos. exhale 32, 26 head on a rb30 is a bit mismatched. The flow of the head is more suited for high revs, and the rb30 bottom end is never going to do that with a 7000rpm redline. Not without a new crank girdle and/or billet crank anyway. By mismatched I mean a decent rb25 head will actually give more power at part throttle than a rb26 head. The rb26 head only really comes into its own at full throttle (larger valves) and high revs (solid valve train). Still, if you want to go for it, just find someone willing to build it. It is a bit of a hassel though, with the drilling of larger 12mm head bolt holes in the block, tensioner positioning and the extra 38mm on block height. This is all imho
