It is with great regret that I announce a loss in the family....

Big Red's RB25 Passed away ealier today while trying to be revived from an incident at Sandown last weekend, unfortunately it couldn't be saved. It seems the oil pump was just not strong enough.

Anyway it was a good motor and has spent many years being thrashed about.

RIP RB25. :D

hehe

Have a nice day...

Yes I'm bored, is it home time yet?

Wow. So what's next on the cards then?

Yes yes its a sad time indeed.

I would have much prefured it to have blown up in a spectacular fassion. Somthing that would really impress even brisby. But no.. the only complaint for the motor was the defi buzzer and a little red light :kiss:

I kida like Adzmax's suggestion but i think Benno has a diffrent solution.

I think we will be keeping most of the old stuff and just bolting a Stegea RB25DET bottom end on to her.

Nothing too wild :)

Any one selling big injectors?

It went out in a weak mans fashion - i think its a sign of his manhood weakening overall LOL!

No holes in the block, no rods flying around... hell... not even 3.5 dead piston rings

I expected better from ole buckethead lol :kiss:

EDIT: Lets take it for a drive without oil

Im positive some kind of spectacularness could be restored in about 4 mins

My greatest fear in life, is not handicapped children, hell their mine what chance have they got of being normal. Not going blind from all those hand feeds. Not the Federal Police finding my Meth amphet lab out the back ... but my glorious RB20 letting go in a quiet manner.

What better departure then a hole in the block/bonnet, schrapnel in the driver's leg...complete with "fark you for making my last minutes on this earth so painful at 8,500rpm" stuff .

But, going with no more then a mouses peep should not be held against the old steed. Really it is only fair, as it has been selfless in its service to you, so its momentary lapse and desire to go quietly must be respected.... A minutes silence please!

So, from here we need a forged RB20 so we can hear that 6boost setup of yours at 9,500rpm. MORE NOISE PLEASE!

Either that or just throw in the towel like me and take up ant farming, my little colony is coming along quite nicely, thanks for asking.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
