Buying A Rb25de

[Line 3]

where would be the best place to buy a reasonable rb25de for a r33

i found a skyline r33 n/a cheep what looks nice and neat but its got 201000kms

thats my only problem

would that be a major issue to get a new rb25 and install it??

thanks

buy an rb25det.

bolt the turbo stuff on the NA motor.

Get it tuned.

Drive it hard and fast until it blows.

Then put det motor in.

im guessing he isnt allowed a turbocharged car

200,000 is a LOT of k's, has it been serivced on schedule?

i imagine a lot of the rubber components of the chassis would be pretty worn after that many k's too

i dont see rb25de's much but i cant imagine they would cost an arm and leg

[Tezzah]

Oh yeah. I'm in WA, i dont know how those rules work.

RB25DE's are pretty rare.

Just because it has 200,000k's doesnt mean its going to die. In N/A form, if serviced regularly they should almost last forever

For a good condition RB25DE you will be looking at $1250 from Adelaide Jap. For a turbo you are looking at about $1950.

Cheaper or more expensive depending on k's and who is selling - private or a business.

I wouldn't worry about the Km's just as long as she runs OK and there is no weird noises. Mine coming up to 200,000 and she goes great with no dramas, few oil leaks but they've been fixed.

yer its in good shape, it has been serviced every 10 000kms, the car has a full 400r bodykit and it looks really neet. it dosnt look tacky. if i did buy it what would be the most common things that will go wrong with it? what are some things i have to look out for if i go check it out??

thanks

yer n/a for me

but with that many kms i would want to get it all checked out by some one who knows what there doing. its a good car and it has been serviced every 10 000kms

or would it be cheeper and better to recondition the engine??

Yeah mate..

I picked up an rb25de with NVCS with ECU with 120,000 odd km for $1100 odd.

Dont buy an engine with that many km.

Can I ask what your gonna be using it for? Engine swap? Sell your old engine and get back some money for your new one.

i just want to put a new engine in it so it wont be a problem when coming to servicing ect

yer i would sell it

what do u think?

new engine or recondition it??

How cheap is this car?

Drive the motor as is until it dies. by then you might be able to drive a turbo?

I dont see why the motor cant do 300,000 + kms if it isnt getting titty fu_ked every day
