Something Great from Something Horrible

[HOTR33]

Hey All..

I'll fill you in on what the bad part of my story is... 2 weeks ago I met up with R31Nismoid up in Sunshine for a cruise, and after a bit of 'harder-than-average' driving, one of my pistons failed causing my car to turn into smoke blowing, un-driveable piece of japanese metal...

But After getting it towed home, to SEAFORD... and then to the mechanic I learnt the terrific news Yesterday that the 3 yr warranty I bought when I got the car, is going to pay for the full cost of a rebuild.. Mmm.. Rebuilt RB25..

BUT, The reason for my post is mainly a question.. Anyone out there had their motor (RB25DET) rebuilt? And what was it like afterwards? Like what can I look forward to? Besides an engine that should run smoother than factory...

Anyone got some comments on What I can look forward to?

Cheers

where did u buy the car from that is giving u a 3 year warranty?

since they r paying chuck in some forged piston, gead the head fully ported and polished, chuck in some jun/hks cams, cam gears, titanium valve springs, heavy duty valve springs, bigger oil pump.

Well INASNT I got the car from Success Motor Imports in Garden Vale (You'd know the owners Stagea, it's been in HPI several times) ....and the warranty isn't tru them, it's a company they buy the warranty's from...

and as for all the nice performance parts ... they are paying for a standard rebuild.. not a high performance one.. unfortunatly

[Guest INASNT]

just be careful coz when some1 else is paying for it they will try do it cheap as possible and use cheap parts! I recon u should chuck in a few extra bucks and get all the better parts put in at once!

sounds like holden with there gen 3 motors.

make sure they do it properly. i'd say they'd only rebuild it once.

Ask Croat about his rebuild...he says it runs like a dream. im sure you are gonna be very satisfied.

hopefully there is a warranty for the rebuild too.
