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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
