fandango, rest

I do agree with Mid life Crisis:

Can't afford the insurance - you can't afford the Car!

Hopefully we have all learn from your accident

It is lucky that he was uninsured as I'm sure if he was he would be chasing you!!

Also if you are going to take legal action - I'd stop posting any details on a public forum.

Bad luck, but good luck looking for a shell.

nah it woudln't be to hard...take them both out...probs do some work to the 25 before it went in to make it a bit more worth it...drop it in...i think id need a new tailshaft, rewire engine, probs reorganise front mount piping a bit, and yeah...

probs more...im sure mick would know. maybe i can pay him to do it haha :nyaanyaa:

I reckon I could get the conversion done in one weekend (using stock gearbox). That's what I did, not quite one weekend because I had a modified loom (that was a nightmare). All the RB20 stuff lines up, so it is not necessary to change anything.

Don't bother doing work to the 25, it'll just break quicker. Keep it stock until your ready to do an RB25/30.

Regarding pricing, I would think it's worth around 4-5k as is, more if you have it in pieces.

- RB25DET, $1000 to $2000 (more around the $2000 mark).

- RB25 Gearbox $1000 to $1500 (I don't think it's worth this much, around $700 is what I would be happy to pay for it).

- Plus the rest of the stuff, diff/interior/etc

Also, I would recommend removing this thread or talk about the accident until after all the legal stuff is sorted!

can i ask how you lost controll in the first place ? i think you might find been sideways blocking a lane is a little diffrent from been rear ended . seek legal advice i would also like to know to answer to this one . you say the other driver wasent driving to conditions .

but at least he was facing the right direction. the fact you lost control suggest that you wernt driving to the condions either .

im sure he doesnt need another 'dad' telling him what he did was wrong...

im sure he doesnt need another 'dad' telling him what he did was wrong...

i wasent telling him what he did was wrong i was trying to get a understanding of how he lost control if you bothered to read all my post

Gus - Sorry mate but Im preoccupied with fixing my own car at the moment, I wont have time to concentrate on doing another R32 RB25 conversion for a while.

Stinkypoo - I have an RB25 that has been pushing 240rwkw for almost 3 years and it hasnt popped yet... Im planning on getting even more power out of it. Reliability depends heavily on how high quality the parts you use are and how good your tune is.

you know, if do an RB30 twincam and use an RB25DE head from an R32 your loom wont need to be replaced.

r32 rb25de head doesn't have VCT either. Although Gus if you were buying an engine, swapping it ec, putting something like a vipec in, I wouldn't expect much change from 5000$ to get all that done, even if you do it yourself.

Yeh, my rb25 (supposedly) has been putting out 236rwkw for over 1 year. I've only had it for a few months, but from what alot of people has said, they're not an overly strong engine. When it does blow, I'm doing the RB25/30 conversion straight away.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
