Hay guys, I have an rb25det that was rebuilt 25'000km ago. Have reciepts for work done and dyno sheet with 194.8rwkw on 12 psi with haltech. does not come with ecu but with standard loom. Have the head off at the moment 4 photos of under the head and cylinders showing hone marks. Just wondering what it is worth?

whats it rebuilt with? What was "rebuilt"?

Sorry, silly me forgot to give details. The bottom end and top end were rebuilt using Standard internals (used original pistons, standard bore size), new rings and bearings and mains fitted, crank grind, block decked, head pressure tested and shaved, new guides and valve stem seals, reseat and grind valves. New gasket kit. I may of missed a few things but everything was done. Will check my receipts when i get home and repost anything ive missed. Turbo wasnt touched as it was checked and didnt need rebuilding said the machine shop where all the work was done.

Well I don't think that is considered a "rebuild" as such.

It's more of a "freshen up". Depending on who buys it I don't think you will get more than $3,500.

Thanks i should of said reconditioned then. because rebuilt means with new pistons right?

It is open to interpretation I think :domokun:

But usually most people will refer to a rebuild as all new (usually performance) internals.

I am curious as to why you didn't do a full re-build on this engine as the labour would have cost a bit? Or were you in a tight spot and needed the vehicle back on the road?

Bit tight on cash and needed to get the car on the road, had it in a vl. I bought the engine from sss, when i bought it it had 40k on it so i just decided to use the original internals and just 4 my peice of mind i had all the work done so it was basicly starting from scratch, fresh. I had it sitting in my shed for 2 years b4 i had enough cash to do it and god knows how long it had been sitting at sss or on the docks in japan. Went well until the standard gearbox gave way. Way 2 much power 4 a vl box 2 handle. Then lost interest in the vl and decided to buy a stagea instead. AWD rocks

well what do you call it then??? cause its a rebuild he had to put new parts in it even if it isnt forgies and all that its still a rebuild at the end of the day

I would refer to it as a "freshen up" as per my previous post.

Either way it's better than a 120,000km old RB25 with 120psi across all cylinders.

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
