Cheers Huddy.

I think i better talk to ryan and Terry pretty snappy.

I want the 23/24 so i can be different. But it seems like the 25de from the 32 is the way everyone is hinting for me to go.

Atleast the pricing from everyone is around the $5000 figure. I was thinking it would be different from workshop to workshop.

Just need to get to know the mechanic of choice for my engine swap so I dont get a brand new lemon.

Kansai is moving further away from me. Dam you TELLY

what about a 32 rb25de with forgies and upgrade valve springs

or 25det it 3.5k for a engine package you cant go wrong

shit take it to your mechanic comp test it leak down test it and if you dont want it

give it back and try again with one of the 2 other 25det we have in stock now

"u could do a rb30 for 3.5k

all depends what u want"

rb30 would be nice but he'd still have a auto rb30 4 door 32 unless he spent another $500 on a rb20 box which would blow behind a 30 sliding in about 2 min

so he'd have to buy a 25 box so add $1,500 to the rb30 idea brings you to 5k which is the whole budget

ps 3.5k 25 package all includes 25 manual box

Nothing wrong with an auto rb30. In fact hed have a faster car than u or i if he kept the auto...put an mv auto shift kit in it, and it will be as tough as your rb25det box.

Rb20 gearbox will last for a while too. Cubes ran his for over 12 months before it let go, now hes going auto as a matter of fact, so its in his favour to keep it in. Hell even im thinking of going auto.

U are speaking to the wrong person to argue about a 3lt :thumbsup:

240rwkw.. Sky30 went through I believe 6 or so rb20 box's. :S

I've just done another 12months on the replacement rb20 box and its going strong with no strange noises. The old rb20 box had a thrashing of 4 years in my hands and around 135,000km's (total ~200,000-210,000km's on the clock) so it was well used and not just drop rb30 in and bang.

I'd stick with the auto for now. The rb20 box wouldn't blow when 'sliding' my feeling is they would last longer as its not 'gripping'. Grip is what kills the box.

Shop around.. There's one place I know of here in Adelaide that sells rb25det box's for ~1100. cut, weld and re balance your tail shaft, mod the gearbox mount and u'll probably get away with an rb25 box in the car WITH a clutch for ~2k.

Or stick a full manual kit through the auto box and it might even be better for drifting considering the rb30's bulk torque and spooling ability. :P

OK I have done the unthinkable.

I have sourced out a new engine and a full conversion kit.

So next week my car will be getting de automatic and bring on the 5speed manual.

If anyone wants parts off my engine let me know. Im keeping the timing belt, waterpump, tensioner & Idler bearings and rocker cover gaskets.

The rest has to go. So what ever you want let me know and im sure u can get it for alot cheaper then half the ppl here are selling it. i dont need a engine out the back collecting rain water.

So if you want parts PM Or Ring me on 0439455399.

The Autobox is for sale too. Make an offer and I wont say no. It needs to go once the work has finished. Should be a week.

Brenton. Im making a for sale thread aswell.

20.

Need my car fixed asap and i couldnt blow off the deal I have recieved from the mechanics behind my house. The owner owns a 32 and has replaced engines and g/boxs many times.

Plus i get a full 3 month warranty on all parts they change. So i am not complaining.

Its booked in for tuesday night. So hopefully a weeks time and its back in my hands/ feet and i can actually enjoy my car for once in the last 2 months

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
