Now your wallet will be the catalyst to how far you go.Once you figure out your budget the rest is easy,just order the parts :(

True true, but it sucks to be paid every forth night though :P gonna go and start looking for my parts :P

Honestly my oponion would be to buy a cheap rb25det that is in good condition and chuck it in and continue your voyage to 250rwkw. Keep in mind the stock bottom end still has another 50rwkw in headroom and is still considered safe hp for the engine.

Dont waste your money rebuilding the engine. Buy another one for $1500 and sell your old one for $750 and your laughing.

RB25 will do your 250rwkw standing on its head.

This is the correct answer !!

If you insist on rebuilding the engine then don't bother with forged. As said above the stock 50k donks will do your power level easy.

Also slapping forged pistons in a daily can be annoying if you end up with average pistons or average machine work.

Just rebuild it using nissan gen parts and you will have a tough engine.

Your biggest worry with a rebuild is finding a machinist that won't screw your engine somehow.

Exept quality forged pistons are cheaper than the standard Nissan cast items...All I did was a standard rebuild +20thou with ACL forgies and Bearings. Brand new Oil and Water Pump Timing belt Etc...Never had a problem with piston slap or oil usage...Just make sure you replace all the water and oil lines...i didnt and regretted not doing so as ive been trying to fix them as they fail with the motor in the car.

I dont know why you would rebuild a motor to do something a standard one can do.

At the very most i would just put new rings and bearings into your engine to just give it a freshen up but this would be much more costly then getting another engine and chucking it in.

Also use proper oil. Motol 300v will see the engine does not do another bearing.

Thanks guys, guess I concluded to have a forged rebuild and will note to leave some money for the miscellaneous parts. By the way YAWN saw your R32 at Chasers Motorworks couple days ago, looks hot :bomb_ie:

Haha yeah? What does your car look like? Anything distinctive about it? So I can look out for it next time im there >_< PM me if you like

I'm with you Guilt-Toy, 250rwkw is still WELL withing the realm of a stock RB25. I would just get a good wrecker motor with a warranty mate, throw in some new rings if you want and be done with it.

The quality of the tune will have more to do with your engine hanging together at those power levels than the internals.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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.
