Hi guys,

I have my eyes set on a 1990 R32 GTR with 104K kms which has been flagged as potentially having fried piston ring. The car seems to have some modifications to it, eg dump volve.

I would like to bring the cars to origional condition and was just wondering how much it would cost to have the engine reconditioned/rebuilt to stock specs. Has anyone undergone such a project?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Joe

theyre are many ppl who have rebuilt rb26's..... @ my last work place.. we did 2 stock builds. as for mine, im doing a forged rebuild because im chasing alot more power then what the stockies can handle

Its expensive no matter what kind of build ur after.. and the 4k+ estimate is a pretty good estimate

The last R33 rebuild i did ended up costing 5.2k :whistling:

good question, the dealer's (power street motors in melb) asking $14K for it.

As its a dealer, I can get a 3rd party warrenty on it...you think that the it would cover some parts if the engine dies? I know that the premium 3yr one can cover upto something like $2500. Its not everyting up at least it makes up for some of it.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
