Mate i did buy the Splitfires for the RB20/ series 1 RB25, but was able to swap them accordingly for a Series 2 RB25.

So if that is the case the coilpacks coming off the RB25 won't work :thanks:

But I can always ask what condition the coilpacks are like coming off the RB20......

UPDATE - 28/03/06

After numerous discussions over the engine, it seems it is no ordinary RB25DET :D It seems it is a very legit low KM engine, so 24,000 seems to be accurate! It apparently is a VERY VERY LATE model RB25DET off a Stagea WGN33 with the sump modified for RWD..... :O

A few additions to the add-on list...

1. RB25DET

2. R33 GTST Gearbox

3. FMIC

4. Splitfire Coilpacks

5. 3" Exhaust Turbo back

6. Ceramic Clutch

7. 2 x Recaro's

8. Oil Cooler Kit

9. Profec B II Boost Controller

10. x3 Guages - Oil Temp / Pressure & Water temp

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR THE NEXT UPDATE! :(

After numerous discussions over the engine, it seems it is no ordinary RB25DET :huh: It seems it is a very legit low KM engine, so 24,000 seems to be accurate! It apparently is a VERY VERY LATE model RB25DET off a Stagea WGN33 with the sump modified for RWD..... :)

Stageas came in RWD RB25 as well (just no one in australia seems to like or know about em), as did C34 Laurels, Glorias and Cedrics. Its pretty strange to modify an AWD RB25DET to a RWD when you can just get a RWD one cheaper and more easily.

Also the late late model RB engines are NEO engines, so make sure you get the right parts for it (eg: top feed injectors instead of sidefeed like regular RB25DETs).

Shan,

Mate it has me lost as to the exact nature of it.... I will see if I can get a piccy of it up for you guys to ponder over

Here you go!

Thanks heaps Nick!!!!

Yeah she is coming along nicely!! :) Just gotta feel sorry for Nath having to sort thru the wiring loom to match up to the RB25! ( See last 2 photos )

Doesn't a wiring loom hanging off the exhaust add about 2000+ rwkw?? :D

*UPDATE 08/05/06*

Pit stopped @ the workshop on the weekend to pick up the RB20 / Gearbox and see my baby :worship:

Should be done in a few weeks time WOOT :spank:

It is 100% confirmed, engine is WGN34 Stagea RWD.

Just awaiting a couple of things such as, driveshaft modified for the 33 gearbox, power steering pump etc. Engine should be getting turned over in the next couple of days!

As for price (Basketcase) approx $4000 for engine (22K Km's), gearbox, coilpacks, full loom, AFM, ECU, delivered. Wasn't fussed paying a little extra considering the very low legit km's.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
