I read the PDF and i can source an RB25DE head quite cheap. Been the time of day, no engine builders are open at the moment thats why i asked for a "rough estimate" how many thousand dollars will it cost was what i was wondering? Ive got a shopping list at the moment of stuff to buy etc tec, was going to make a phone call tomorow, but i wanted to know tonight.

Quoting a rough figure isnt brain surgery is it? :)

Sweet as!

Thanks for the guestimate! I was hoping it was around the 2 grand mark. Im budneting for around 3 grans just in case. Ive seen all your posts and dyno graphs and am very impressed!

Ill let you guys know how i go with quotes from engine builders etc etc.

Cheers!

As you can see in my previous post, my cheap head has now gone bye bye. :(

I rang around a few places to get some prices. Just Jap wanted 995 for an RB25DE head, SSSautomotive said they could supply me with the whole RB25DE motor for 1000. Is there something i am missing here? Or is just jap just got really high prices???

Also spoke to engine builder about rebuilding an RB30 bottom end, to get "the lot" rods, pistons, crank and block rebuilt 2200.

Please excuse my ignorance, this is my first time and i have pretty much NFI about prices on this stuff, when i get a chance over the weekend ill try to read all the posts in this thread.

thanks

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
