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.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • 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
