i thought that type of engine went in the early R32 GTS? not in a 96 model R33 series II

R33's were offered as a bottom of the barrel rb20e

YanG = judging by your thread's name, if you bought the car advertised as a non turbo RB25DE, then you've been seriously mislead.

An rb25de should look something along the lines of the rb25det, without the turbo obviously

I hope for your sake you weren't misled and paid according to RB25 pricing...

EDIT: No offence, but don't people research what their buying these days? Do they just go out, fork out the cash, take it home, then ask questions, ie. Can you drive this object I just bought? Does it have wheels? What is the steering wheel for?...

are there rims? suspension? bodykit? stereo? that came with the car? how is the overall condition of the car?

i would be trying to get some money back otherwise if it were advertised to you as an RB25DE.

depending on overall condition + mods, i'd say you paid abt 1-2g more than you should have.

actually. thats pretty good, and the factory sunroof etc except for the engine thats pretty good. just dont try and race anyone with it... and the money you save on petrol you can put towards a rb26 conversion :)

what mean with Ps ? sorry, i was a noob for this forum, just join.

yea.. The owner didn't said that. Cause this is the first time i bought the car by myself, have none of the knowledge. So it was the experience to be paid if there is a loss.

May i ask one more question? =p if convert to RB26 will be cost how much with the labour wages?

Thanks Alot to you guys.. i get my answer here.

yea.. firstly i thought 1996 skyline will always come with rb25de or rb25e. is that true? cause the previous owner told me that it born at 1996.

dont bother with rb26 conversion just yet..

Just put a stock rb25det engine in there. Thats what that car was built for.. or rb25de..

But it will cost anywhere between 3-5k-6k includin labour n all..

Hmm if you were mislead take it back and try and get a refund!!

Ps-means license type..

You live in aus lol??

:D aha.. yea, still on Ps. haha.

Last time i asked the owner, and he just answer me "Don't know" then i didn't ask more about that. and i was lack of knowledge for skyline. Just compare to this kind of skyline with other, and found out it was cheaper, but dunno there was a different for the engine. it's was my big big mistake. I think i can't take any refund on it, under the business law. Any suggestion? siddr20? thanks for answer my post. =)

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      r34 Skyline 25 Gt four GTR conversion (ENR34)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
