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.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
