    Rips Rb25/30 Build Up

    in Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups

    Posted · Edited by josh.s

    I said prices are available from RIPS :) I'm not telling everything that's in it, that's a secret, so it doesn't really matter how much it cost because unless you get a stock one or one of the mildly upgraded packages they don't all cost the same!

    I have no idea how much the stock rebuilds go for.

    All I know is I just want to get some powerskids happening...

    Hey mate mine has a few extra things like extra balancing for higher RPM, high capacity sump and wide oil drive, then a few other bits on top. The RIPS standard internal engines are still good for 600hp. In fact they run a standard internal engine on a 500 odd hp drift car in NZ. Prices are available from RIPS, unless you go for a stock internal motor they're all different prices. Rob is great to deal with, and he responds to emails almost immediately if you don't have time to speak over the phone!

    I bought this R33 in August last year and it was already in immaculate condition inside and outside with no body kit or any of that rubbish, and already had a 35R Tial 44mm gate, Plazmaman inlet, Power FC, AVCR, Nismo 740cc injectors, Bosch 040 pump, and a few other goodies and had previously made 350hp on 16psi. It looked like this when I got it.

    I took it to the drags a few times but due to the clutch I couldn't get it to launch properly, so my best time was a 12.9 @ 115mph, then I put an Xtreme button in it and straight away ran a 12.6, still with room for improvement in the 60ft time.

    Anyway about 6 months ago a knock developed in the front of the motor which turned out to be the harmonic balancer hitting against the lower timing cover. Both keyways were flogged out and there appears to be a bash mark on the front of the balancer which looks like it's been hit with a hammer at some stage. Very nice.

    I figured it was pointless going through the whole process of pulling the motor out just to put the same stock motor back in, so I got on the phone to RIPS and had them build me a hot motor RB25/30 combo.

    I'm planning on maxing out the 35R in an attempt to get around 550hp at the treads but I'm not sure if it'll make it past 500hp, and if/when it expires I'll put a Borg Warner S372 on with 2-step.

    Aside from the motor I added an 044 and surge tank, and decided to give Cryo a shot, see if it works or not. If it doesn't it's not big deal, it was cheap as. I have almost everything I need to get the motor in, just need to order a clutch. I figure an NPC twin plate will handle anything I can throw at it.

    This is just a photo of the car before it came off the road. The D1Rs are for sale and are in perfect condition with near new front tyres and brand new rear tyres for $1800 and are +32 and +37 so are perfect for a street car, the only time the tyres ever scrubbed was when I installed camber bars in the rear so the guards had to be rolled then.

    I am planning on ditching the GTR wing at some stage also, will most likely put the standard box-type wing on if I can find one, otherwise it'll have to be a lip spoiler.

    Hey guys and girls,

    I have a set of D1Rs for sale (18x8 and 18x9.5) and they are in brand new condition and have brand new rear tyres and near new front tyres. NO GUTTER RASH!

    The tyres on them are Federal SS-595s in 225/40 front and 255/35 rear.

    I am chasing $1800 with tyres.

    If you are genuinely interested I can get a close up photo of each individual wheel or you are welcome to come and inspect them.

    Cheers.

    R33 S2 Tomei Poncams

    so for these cams to work in a Series 1.....i would have to get a R34 NEO CAS and get the workshop to rewire it?????

    Hey champ, I have the correct CAS for it that I can include for a bit extra. It's only 4 wires so it only takes a few minutes to wire up.

    To everybody asking about the part number there is only one part number listed on Nengun for an RB25 and it ends in 20. After that it asks you to choose which series you're buying for. I will say it again, they are for a SERIES 2 R33 SKYLINE so pleeeease stop asking. Just in case anybody missed it the first time around:

    R33 Skyline Series 2 Tomei Poncams 256deg 8.5mm lift. They are for the late series 2 R33 cam angle sensor which is the same as the R34 sensor.

    If you STILL don't believe me, then you can request closer photos, but only if you think you might actually buy them. I'm not wasting my time if you're not genuinely interested...
