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.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
