Built Rb25

[sleepy33]

anyone recommend gearbox shops to build a auto box to handle 350rwkw

Good find on the engine parts, but please please please dont skimp on the $$$$ for labour costs in rebuilding the engine.

Mine cost 7k and is still runnning well, all rebuild at a well recognised mechanic etc. have a look at my SLY 33 gtst for sale thread and that gives you an idea of what i got, that included a wolf ecu as well. Unfortunately friends have gone for cheaper alternatives and have not gone as well with their engines, head gasket went on one of em.

I would go with shops such as Hyperdrive/top racing, prob two of the more well known shops.

in answer to your question about your gear box, troll through some of the clutch threads in the WA section as there was a great transmission and clutch specialist in Osborne park, I saw him about 6 months ago, its just near the triumph mechanic and WA suspension there, anwyays great old bloke and a whole heap of knowledge on the skyline boxes due to the amount of lcutches he had installed for all of the SAU crew.

sweet so im gonna cut costs in the pars department

by sourcing the parts myself

i havent had many recommedations on who to use in the build

so does anyone have any definate objections to using any particular workshops

cheers

Eagle Forged Rods (Optional)

ACL Race Series Mains Bearings

ACL Multi-Layer Steel Headgasket (Cometic also available)

Dupro VRS Kit (Engine Gasket Set)

for 2945 plus delivery

are the acl items up to scratch

or should i go the cp pistons and rings

i also found cank and main bearing kits for 86 and 128

cheers

[sleepy33]

come on guys

i know there is at least $1 worth or 2c out there

[R32 Driver]

havent heard or seen much about acl pistons or headgaskets

bearing wise there as good as you will get

how much more is it for CP pistons + cosmetic gasket?

those are more commonly used

^^

i was allowing 200 for each

will variey greatly depending where u get it from

over budget is better then under

my bad!

Fair enough, I did get them trade but they also had to order them from Japan.

i read somewhere that the n1 oil pump is dodgey on street driven cars

something bout it cant pump enough oil at low rpm or something

not sure how true it is

I'm running an N1 pump and it flows fine and has heaps of pressure. I've only heard of N1's not being fine when they regularly see 8000rpm with lots of limiter bashing.

N1 water pump on the other hand, shithouse for daily driving.

[sleepy33]

yeah bubba it probably was the water pump i read bout

the cp pistions are 200 extra

and the cometic gasket is 25 extra

anyone heard of or used the dupro gasket kit

cheers

[R32 Driver]

has CRD replied?

because i do think there kit is better $ for value

cams would be $700 and make up for the difference

[sleepy33]

i was looking though some posts and dirt garage is gonna be opening a workshop

says he might be doing pre built engines

horay
