The Rb25 Rebuild Pricing Guide

[DaGr81]

guys and gals im not sure if this has been done before but for all those (and i know theres a few) that have rebuilt their rb25's i think it would be a good idea to post up what parts youve thrown in and what youve done to it + how much (and where you went?) it cost you in labour

for example we could list all the prep and parts that youve put into the car to get it where it is

block preperation process (machining etc etc) and prices with places to get these done, then list what parts you have put into her, then any headwork you did and finally supporting mods i.e. everything else

i'll put up a detailed example in the next few days so people can get a rough idea what to post, this should be good because im looking at rebuilding soon and it would be a quick and easy way for me and others to get info and pricing as well as ideas on what everyone else has done

but should look something like this

block - what did u do and how much and where?

crank shaft - what did u do where and how much?

pistons and rings - which ones and how much and balancing? which compression ratio you chose?

rods and bolts - as above

bearings - which ones and how much

head gasket - which one and much much

head studs or not - which studs did u get

and then how much was it to assemble it up and where did u get it done? Unless ofcourse you got the 1 shop to do everything then please let us know what they did and the total price excluding price of parts

Head - what did u do, prices for each and labour costs, any porting?

Supporting mods - turbos, oil pumps etc etc, every other part and then finally how much does she make?

block - Acid wash,Bore and hone,milled surface,welsh plugs replaced.

crank shaft - Linished,grub screwed,Jun collar fitted,Balanced with pistons,rods and balancer.

pistons and rings - CP pistons and rings.

rods and bolts - Spool rods with ARP rod bolts.

bearings - ACL Race series

head gasket - Cometic

head studs or not - ARP head and main.

Headwork - Full head service ect.

Around the 4k mark for all the motor prep and assembly.But this will vary depending what you want done.

As for parts its pretty much how far can your wallet go.

Parts for me was around the 8-10k mark.Have not really calculated though.

But again price varies greatly depending on what you want done.

You could rebuild one for under 2-3k or 20k all depends.

Ummmm well between the two of us, we just added up what our cars owe us on the rd as they sit - including driveline but excluding ALL labour.... 50 hours on mine so far, 100's on Daves.... thank god that didn't need to be billed!

Lets just say it hit 6 figures .....

Not to mention all the parts that have been fitted along the way and then broken/not up to the challenge... these have a seperate list that would make you cry....

So in short, we should of just bought a new GTR and been done with it...

[DaGr81]

hehehe still new gtr = new challenge and probably more expensive parts people like us dont stop hehehe
