Nisspeed do all of Boostworxs machining, they have everything

in house aswell. Had a couple of motors machined by him.

But also have a mate that is killer with Nissan motors and does his

performance stuff at home, and is a engine reconditition by trade during the

day, cluey as and very,very fussy, will be doing my Big RB30/25 build

for sure, I will give you his number if you want to go that way, p.m me

naw just swap cars with Keir :P

Keir's Willall racing workshop has just been built.

I am sure Peter will have time and space to rebuild the engine soon.

From what I gathered the stock parts are pretty good. However if you will have the resource to go full out, Keir also got a spare OS 3L engine atm. I am sure if you offer a good price he won't say no :P:blink:

does anyone have an idea of the kinda cost it will be??

A mate of mine just had his RB26 rebuilt at reamac they did an excellant job and my mate and i did most of the work (engine out stripped,back in,etc) and he spent $4500 just on block so it really depends on your budget and how much power your want to have at the end it can cost min $3000 to whatever you want Nisspeed is also excellant

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
