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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
