lol. nice experience .. if i got cash in my pocket,i will mark around with there rb30 or 25 or 20s to build up a monster. forget about sr20s. . . lol

skyline is the best. even through i broke 3 already. ~ :)

thanks man,but this engine is pretty clean and got a rb25 turbo on it, i will think about upgrade to rb25, but what the difference between rb20 and rb25? is it larger means better? thanks. :no:

Thats an RB20 turbo.

So that means that an "RB25 turbo" is not a reason you have to stay with an RB20 :D

Unless your not talking about this engine :laugh:

never got a chance to know this turbo is rb20 or 25, i just been told it's rb25's turbo by the guy that sold the car to me, sorry for my ignorance. :/ otherwise would beat him down..

Edited by vcool

still, chase after him and beat him down

theres nothing like the satisfaction of beating someone who has done the dodgy on u

there are soooooo many diff things u can do man, just go with what ur heart and wallet says

(a rb30/25 would be cool, but maybe u can only afford a rb20, u no what i mean)

I vote to throw another cheap rb20 in.

Strip the bits off yours than you can. erm.. that would be only the oil pump, maybe the cams if they are not damaged. :(

Rip the cams out, be sure to follow the engine manual as how to do it.. What would you want for them? I'll send them off to get tested to make sure they are straight, I have a use for them.

Yep, remove them nice and careful, caus it's not a nice sound when u hear one go 'crack' :P

P.S andy (bunta on these forums) may have a complete RB25 for sale, chuck him a PM and ask :(

as i originally posted 3 days ago, lots of people have read my story, this is my last post before i end up with a final decision, your help is appreciated, thanks.

as i have no mechanic beckground, need some key words for parts searching and any relevant infor (like what needs to be changed or whats not),thanks heaps.

Hi mate , this is what you call dropping valves. Looks as though you are up for one piston , maybe a conrod if it has distorted , a set of mains and big end bearings because you will have the crank out, a quick crank polish and measure , if bore is lightly damaged a light hone or a bore out and then you will be up for a set of pistons and expensive machine work of boring all 6 cylinders. New gasket set complete .The head needs 4 new valves, guide work( i am not familiar with this engine so I do not know if head has guides.If so you might get away with slipping 4 new ones in. If you have not then head will be machined to accept guides. I could go on more but when you start something like this the more you go into it the more there is to fix if you want it done properly .Most important with this repair is to fix the CAUSE.

IM a mechanic with no Skyline experience but this engine works exactly the same as whats in Cat dump truck to Porsche 930. I hope I could help with some of the jargon.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
