Ok heres the deal.... I found a stagea AWD DET longblock fitted with an rb20det head. It has a spun rod bearing but the fellow only wants a few hundred bucks for the longblock.

The engine will be used in a drift car. Aiming for 300-350hp along with other characteristics that define a great performing drift engine.

I have done some searching around and found one thread in particular that lists parts used in a similar rebuild. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...hl=rb25+rebuild

Any thoughts on how any of that would apply to my rebuild?

Im pretty much looking for a list of recommended parts, machining, DIY upgrades, etc.. that would apply to my rebuild.. Particularly, in regards to bottom end rebuild and head modifications. I'd like to do this right the first time. So, feel free to include those "not necessary, but useful" upgrades/machine work.

Im assuming everyone is going to recommend ditching the 20 head for rb25det head?

I've already looked into the RB head oil feed issue and will be correcting that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers!

are you buying that off of canadianskyline in alberta canada?

i would just buy his neo if you are,less bullshit,good price.

Ya. I'm planning on buying that longblock.. Im looking for an engine project that i can build over the season.. I just did a 1jz swap in my other car so im not looking to spend a bunch on another complete engine.. Just want something for a lil cheaper that i can take my time on and doesnt take up to much space. I can throw this on a stand and keep it in my shed until im ready to rock on it...

As for that link to the other engine.. I'm in Canada so factor in shipping and it wouldnt be practical for me to buy a cooked engine from over seas.

just fix up that 20 head u should be able to get quite a bit of power out of that head fairly cheap,unless u can find a 25 head elsewhere.its a good deal and you should be satisfied especially if you have the time to wait.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
