Hey guys just looking for a bit of help here....my mate is having an RB25DE auto put into his R32 four door and at the moment he is having trouble finding an exhaust for it, he only wants to get something cheap and reliable just so he can get it out of the workshop as the guy is really stuffing him around. the tradey is quoting $1000 for the exhaust but i think that is ridiculous for what my mate is looking for...any suggestions or help would be great, as my mate is getting soo frustrated that he almost wants to sell the car...!

Cheers, TYP.

im pretty sure he can use the standard exhaust system from the RB20, my understanding is most of the RB20 and Rb25 parts are interchangable.

if not get RB25 headers into the standard cat back or what ever he has in place.

if the mechanic is screwing him over get him to tow the car to a more respectable workshop that will help him out

yeah i thought that the RB series would all have the same block so theoritcally as long as there is no size problem or back-pressure problems it should work....but i can't believe it is so hard to find one, if anyone in sydney has an RB20 ehxaust or one that will fit for the a 32 sedan(any condition as long as it works) i would be greatful for it...

Also would an RB25DET exhaust work or is it too big or have different design/add-ons for turbo?

This is all the car needs to be back on the road i think(not sure) so i am searching far and wide for it. the tradey reckons that he is the first in Oz to put a RB25DE in a 32 four door and says that is the reason it is so hard and expensive...i think he is full of it and taking my mate for a ride...

any jap wrecker should have one, even get an aftermarket one made from the exhaust shop just make it in cheap mild steel for now.

the 2dr exhausts fit its just short by 100mm or something like that, cant be too hard to weld some pipe in to make it longer if needed.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
