I am too busy studying this year and may be most of next year so someone might as well enjoy this. I will be building a larger RB engine when I have more time.

Engine was built in Japan and came with a R32 Vspec around 4 years ago. So the engine is pretty much an R33RB with unknown forged internals and capacity. The car has a lot of Mines bolt on stuff when it came over so it could have been built by them (but dont take my words for this). Whoever built this engine is GREAT. The cylinders compressions are all good and there is absolutely no blowby oil in the catch can regardless of drag or track activities. Engine does not use oil at all as well.

Car has only been used mainly for weekend activities. Best time at Willowbank is 11.4@126mph and QR Sprint is 57.1 with RE55 and aggressive cambers of 4- in the front and 3- in the rear. I've only been to QR and Willowbank about 3 times each with the car. I think I can go faster at the drag if I reduce the camber, unload some weight and use drag radials but I have not had much time this year.

All of the tuning and work was done by Willall Racing, Martin Donnon (when I was still in Adelaide), Tune and Matty Spry (since I moved to QLD). Engine has been conservatively tuned with pair of T518Z 10cm at 18-19psi for power graphs below. Castrol Edge synthetic oil is religiously changed before and sometimes after every track work too.

-HKS 264 intake and exhaust cams

-HKS cam gears

-1.5 ATS carbon LSD This was only installed late last year and only been at QR sprint twice. Costed me around $2000.

-Trust front diff back cover. Holds an extra 1 L of oil

-Nissan water pump and Trust belt was replaced late last year

-Engine may have after market baffle plate because I never have any oil surge problem.

-Oil pump is unknown but what ever it is used on this engine I am happy to used it again with my next engine. Oil pump and engine survived many redline (conservative 8.5krpm) launches at the drag.

Asking price is a bargain $9k.

The new nissan water pump, Trust timing belt, cams gears, cams and lsd will easily cost you close to half of this asking price.

Engine is still in car and currently located in Brisbane

Who ever buy this engine please open it up, refresh it and let me know what clearances and parts were used. It is amazing. I love to be able to do that now but got to invest into my study atm :P

I can include the trust t518z turbo, BDI fuel rail, injectors, nismo fuel regulator and the Djetro map for extra cost. I've spent a lot of money on the djetro map for full throttle, high way cruise and midrange power tuning. Engine refresh can be arranged too. Reluctant sale so serious buyer only ......please no joyriders.

Edit: Turbo are T517Z with 10cm2 housing. Engine is out of the car and turbo can be supplied with the engine. Trust front diff cover has been replaced with the original cover. The engine is in SA atm. Sorry for any inconvenience.

That's the next thing I will be doing once I finish off my current R32 project. I am planning to take the engine apart and freshen it up too but that will depend on the left over fund from this project.

The turbo are on the car atm. I will part the turbo when I can find suitable replacement soonish....hopefully next few weeks Sorry for any confusion.

The engine came out of a R32 gtr that is used mostly for track day and paper weight in the shed/workshop most other days. The engine is currently in a workshop in Adelaide. I can organise anything ranging from a complete overhaul for this engine. I can replace the stock parts too if the buyer is not keen on these after market parts. I have offers for these parts but keen to sell them with the engine coz I am working in Brissy and don't have time to dissassemble them.

The turbs will prob be around 2-2.5 large but will depend on how well the new turbs work on the new engine. It's not for sale atm.

I am selling the engine at this stage. Anyone want to make an offer on the engine?

If not I may recondition it and keep it as a spare

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
