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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
