Can someone please confirm if the R33 RB25DET water pump is the same as in a VL? I've seen people state that it's the same as an RB20's, but no one seems to have mentioned if it's also the same as the RB25's.

The reason I ask is Repco sell an aftermarket water pump for around $80 retail for a VL, which is much cheaper than Nissan/Holden ($110-$130). I should also be able to get a trade price making it cheaper again.

Oh, I could also get other people a trade price if they were interested. But I need to confirm first that it's the same as the VL's, or if not, whether or not Repco sell something that will fit the RB25.

Sweet. Anyone else want an aftermarket Repco one then? There's no immediate rush on the order because my 100k service is still probably a couple of months away, but I plan to have the water pump ahead of time so there's no last minute panic.

I'll have to confirm the price but I'm pretty sure it'll be less than $80 (retail price) unless the guy stuffed up and gave me the trade price by mistake, in which case it should be $80.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
