He must not have liked you Kate :D I got my long rb25 for $1200 cash and quoted $2200 for the full engine....Then I negotiated an extended warranty wooo :blink:

sometimes it sucks being a girl =[

He probs had a good reason to charge you that much, I mean option 1 tend to charge around that for rb25's no matter who you are :blink:

Did you ask your bf about doing my engine swap?

Yeh you're right about that, so many places are f**ked up, ridiculous prices on the smallest of things, but sometimes, you have no choice.

sometimes it sucks being a girl =[

it hardly ever sucks being a girl now! If you know your stuff, you get just as much chance as a guy, in most cases, AND you can work things to your advantage, I would never have got a rebuilt engine for $800 + a front pair of brembos if I had a wang, it's like sometimes they feel sorry for you, so you get shit for cheap. There are the few neanderthals out there who still think chicks are better off at home, but you know as well as I do what to tell them :P

Thanks for the list :>

Will deff be checking these places out!

I have a list of jap wreckers from about 4 weeks ago when I was trying to urgently find stuff, i'm not sure which are open on Saturdays, I guess there would be no harm in calling them and finding out :huh: Here's my list, in no particular order, you can decide what to do with it from there :rofl:

I would highly recommend Banzai, they are SO helpful!

How many people have bought engines from any of the wreckers above?

I have a R32 GTST Nissan Skyline it currently has 24psi oil pressure hot and cold... and a nasty missfire which could possibly be a blown head gasket.

I'm looking at getting a low k's Rb20det as its just a swap over job but i want a engine that will last more then 3months.

Anyone who has bought a engine through the wreckers...

what condition did it come in (pressure tested, leak tested)?

what did you pay?

where from?

Thankyou for any help.... as i would like to know the best places to try for parts and the engine aswell.

Pete (BOOSTA)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
