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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
