r32 rb25de head on the existing rb25 block and transfer all the existing rb20 stuff over to the new head, injectors, manifolds, ignition system etc. except use the rb25 turbo you talking about having.

rb25de head: ~$1000

GT-R valve springs: ~$100

Head Gasket: ~$500

That's assuming the rb25 bottom end is ok

How much did you pay for it? $2000?

You get what you pay for buddy, I hope you disclose all this when you go to on-sell the car to some poor unsuspecting person.

Nope.. because the job will be done properly this time.. :banana:

With proper parts.. and tools.. So there is no need to hide it.. the will be done right this time..

Weetbix...........absolutely no taste............Cocoa Pops or Froot Loops at least.

Some shops get customers that bring in a wheelbarrow full of bits and peices and say 'Build me a car!'.

The shop says 'No way', so the moron wheels his barrow to the next shop, eventually someone will say OK.

To be fair, it happens with mod parts as well, some shops will sell you anything, other shops try to tell you what will work and what is a waste of $$$$.

This was taken out from cylinder 1

The diameter of the pison is 85.95mm

The diameter of the bore is 86.05mm (standard bore is 86.0 - somone has been playing with toys they shouldnt of been!)

On the face of the piston is has imprinted "STD" and a big "1" in the middle. Mean anything?

the question I have is..

are these forgies?

What brand?

Id say, go and get the bores taken out .5mm over standard. Pretty sure every piston manufacturer has that oversize eg. ACL, Aries, HKS, CP, JE etc etc

Prices are average around 1200-1400 bucks for pistons and rings.

Rebore would be around $300ish

Getting Pistons fitted to Rods - Around $200

Hope you find this useful

It's 0.1mm difference! - you have to have some clearance between the piston and bore. The spec for bore is nominal - there will be some manufacturing variations.

True.. of MAX .05 (according to the workshop manual)

So the pistons would of been fine if they didnt f*ck around with the bore :) Dodgy deadshits!

there defiantly forgies. The piston you have are sold by precision performance. they retail for $1500. they are some chinese brand but dont be to worried there no to bad really. these are mine that we put in rb30's for a cheaper optioned rebuild. Just put it all back together and drive it, as lond as there not damaged it will be sweet. cheers

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
