HAve you looked at the 3.4l stroker kit? I know its a little bit more, but its good value if you can stretch a grand or two more.

By the time you by rods, pistons, rings, rod bolts and bearinigs, and balance you're around $3k - $3.5k

3.4L stroker has a new crank, rods, pistons, bolts, bearings and rings and is $5k. I think it is already balanced.

WHen you think about it, $1500 really isn't that much more for a torque monster. Plus you wouldn't have many lag issues.

WHERE the f**k u getting these prices from.... $3k for rods, pistons ect.... what are they beryllium ?? or are u buying these and adding on the miner tax ??

well..I just checked and the prices have dropped a little since i looked last. But pretty close..

GOOD Pistons & Rings $1400

Spool Rods: $700

Rod Bolts: $200

Bearings: $200

Balance: $400

Crank Collar & Fitted: $200

Total: $3100

Crank journals \ Block tunnels might need machining - $possible $500 - $1k depending on what needs to be done..

I'd even get the crowns of the pistons and the combustion chambers HPC'd. Price isn't too bad. Just need to balance after this is done.

3.4 Stroker, with all of those parts, already balanced with a brand new crank that is capable of high revs, is only $5k..

Then buy a GTR one day and transfer this bottom end to it... lol

To me it just seems like a better buy and more piece of mind.

I want to stick with the RB25. For what I want it to be, anything over an RB26 is useless. I'm not a racer, drifter or anything. Just want a safe motor and tune that has some balls that MIGHT have a chance against a SIL80 that will be around the streets shortly.

She'll be a screamer. Can't wait to hear it on gate, haha. I don't know who is tuning it yet, he hasn't told me I don't think. But deadset, the turbo on it is going to suck small children in if he drives past a school or even a pregnant woman.

That's the kit I was looking at. Want to keep 2.5L, but the reality is that even the $2,000 for that is out of reach at the moment when im paying off stuff, saving for a house and saving for an overseas holiday on apprentice wages. The 33 is taking a backseat to more important things at the moment, but one day I'll get a rebuild kit, spray and tidy up the engine bay, and make the engine look pretty like my VL RB30

Then it will be 24psi of HKS fury pumping into that engine haha

HKS GT2835 KAI

Bit of a let down ATM but trying to work with HKS to work it out

243rwkw @18psi

But I think I accidentally knocked the timing back a bit when I put my new timing cover on. Will check that and then see if it feels any better

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
