I have an RB25DET and full engine loom for sale in a few weeks and i was wondering if anyone was interested in it. Its only done 15,000km since it was rebuilt and i have receipts for $6005 on rebuild. I used the original pistons as they were still good. All machine work was carried out by Merv Gray Auto Parts and Machine Shop in Launceston Tasmainia. Ill take a photo of the receipt so you can see what they did. The Engine was assembled by Stuart Willcock, a good mate of mine who has done many engine rebuilds and engine conversions. The reason im selling this engine is i need money and i dont need the engine anymore as its been sitting in my shed for a bit longer than a year on the stand after having it in a standard vl and i pulled it out because it destroyed the standard gearbox and diff so rather than spend another 5 or 6 thousands on it i bought a stagea. The engine has 4 dyno sheets with it starting at 7psi 153.6rwkw when being run in through to 12psi 194.8rwkw this was made with Haltech E6X, Haltech boost controller and full 3inch custom exhaust. Also after i pulled it out of my vl i pulled the head off and the cams out because i didnt know what i was going to do with it because its bad for the valve springs compressed when you leave an engine round for long periods of time. When i had the head off i took the time to take photos of the bores to show that it still has prominent hone marks to show anybody that is interseted that it is a fresh engine. Also seeing as though i had the head sitting round for so long off the engine i decided to take it in to my local machine shop and have it checked. They pulled it apart and checked it and replaced the valve stem seals. I also have receipts for that as well. Ive been assembling the engine over the last week and its nearly all together. Theres still a few things that ive got to do that might take a couple of weeks as im working out of town next week and cant get the parts. These things are as follows. need to remove snapped dump pipe stud, need 2 oil feed line gaskets. one from turbo and one from block to head and need oil breather transfer hose from cam cover to cam cover. I want to make sure everything is good and fixed before i sell it. Also the engine comes with starter motor and alternator. There wont be a thing to be spent on this engine as it has all been done. Your welcome to do any test u like on it. Im looking for around $4000. Anybody interested

Heres some photos. Any questions feel free to ask. I think ive answered all of them though

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
