You have bought a RB20 but then you ask how much they are worth? Wouldnt you already have an idea having already got one?

Secondly your other SPAM thread states you are selling all these parts etc yet from this thread i would take it that you dont know much at all about what your selling combined with not knowing how much a RB20 is worth and not knowing anyone that can fit one.... I CAUTION EXTREME CAUTION TO ANYONE BUYING ANYTHING FROM YOU!

Sell it and re-build the 25.

You can't even leagally put an older engine into a newer car, even if you wanted to. Not that any sane person would want to put an RB20 into an R33!

I'm not sure whether that's a rumour or not, but I hear about quite a few cars running around on older engines. These conversions could be overseas so.... :cheers:

ZENNON says:

thats surely not true...

Jezza says:

it is technically true

Jezza says:

because of emissions laws

Jezza says:

like u couldnt put an rb20det into an R33

Jezza says:

but u can put an RB25DET from an R33 into an R34

Jezza says:

technically you "cant" but because its the "same" engine (different but same name) you can get away with it

Jezza says:

basically any engine u swap in, must meet the same emission standards of the original engine and older engines dont

hey thanks for the feedback but the engine was traded, yes iv just started importing but im not good with engine i only sell turbo parts......... NOT ENGINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol it was the turbo in my 25 thats shit its self sooooooooo anyone need an rb20?

$1000???

    • So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4
    • Haha wow, yes they do! Will sort tomorrow.
    • Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info! 
    • As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
