Hi im after a standard R33 Rb25det rebuild kit does anybody know of any places stocking them? thx josh

depends where you are from. Hi octane racing sell the whole kits, alternatively you can buy stuff from nengun or greenline, or plenty of other places i'm sure

www.hioctaneracing.com.au

www.nengun.com

www.greenline.jp

EDIT: oh wait....sorry didn't read it properly, STANDARD rebuild kit...maybe nissan? Which state are you in?

man this thread is not getting far.....

VRS kit from Nissan gaskets and seals about 400

bearings about 300 from ACL

rings about 300 from ACL

machining....who knows, depends what is wrong...allow a few hundred

head reco - will probably need guides and seals around 500

strip and assemble....not sure

From what I was quoted:

3k - 2nd hand rb25, engine in & out

4k-4.5k - Rebuilt rb25 with standard pistons with existing block

7k-8k - Fully rebuilt rb25 with forgies etc, but I might be getting rods for free if my block can still be used

This figures are off the top of my head though, cant remember specifics

Our race engine was about 10k, but we built it ourselves. So not that much...people are doing budget builds for about 2k however if you go forgies its prob not a budget build anymore, should be good for 300rwkws easily.

RB30det guide = free!

Series 2 short block in good nick = $50 - $200

Pistons ACL, CP, other... = $1000-$1500

Bigend/Conrod bearings ACL = $150

Headgasket Cometic/ACL = $250-$300

Machining..decking, welshplugs, Modify head drill hole for vct if any and modify water gallery for headgasket seal, possibly hole for tensioner if you cant do it yourself = $1000

Collar and oil pump = $600 (dont have to do this, but i would)

Possibly aftermarket plenum for height issue or you can raise your bonnet or drop motor down when refitting engine.

Assembly yourself would be free by someone else cheapest ive seen is about $800.

I think thats it....whats that total..about $3750 with all extremes call it $4000 with assembly $4800-$5000. So thats just your motor to replace the rb25. No power mods. Thats what i would call a basic rebuild abit better then a budget build. But doing the niggly little things in the guide yourself helps with price.

Anyone feel free to correct me or prices if they feel they arent 'fair'. Im in qld but i wouldnt think prices would vary greatly from state to state.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
