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

    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
