Zertek - you have PM.

B-Man - rods are gone and pistons are ordered.

John - you should know all about talking to RB25 parts being a fellow short-stroke tragic!

benm - Please tell me where the camera is placed in my bedroom?! I didn't think anyone could see me with the parts!

:D

  • 4 weeks later...

Some new bits coming:

....BUT without the pickup and with a -12 male fitting on the side.

...and some pulleys to suit.

I was expecting carnage when the motor was pulled down but it was a simple case of a 2-inch section of ringland from number one gone and number two losing tension in the rings. Every rod, bore, piston (apart from no.1) and the crank look perfect. A bit disappointing when you're expecting some serious carnage but a good thing when you're building the same motor.

More to follow soon.

i see u've gone softcock on the oiling.

here i was thinking u were a serious drag racer :mellow:

good enough set-up for a well known GTR to run 8's with

makes my Jun pump and 9 litre baffled sump look like a limp dick

Thats hardly carnage at all?

Thats weaksauce man... it still would have run a few more passes... albeit a bit smokey :sorcerer:

Looking good with the new party pack 'o parts you have there.

Gate is love

I was genuinely disappointed with the result - should have run another pass or 12 on the bottle huh?!?!

It wasn't running that well to be honest.... Sounded nearly as shithouse as an SR20DET.

Gate is love. :)

buy me an auto aswell and i'll agree :D

P.S i've been building my gtr for the last ~13months :)

Come on!!! I've only got a weeny little RB25 and a baby GT35 and you've got a twin cam 3L and 4WD. Surely the auto is the leveling factor?!?!

:D :D :D

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
