Well my spare RB25 long motor has been sitting in a friends dads workshop for quite sometime and the time has come to move it to my house, if I don't he will send it to SIMS and there is no way my perfectly good RB25DET is going there!

So basically I am wondering what the best way of moving the engine is I live about 5-6kms from the workshop and the other problem is my 40 degree driveway down to my garage at the other end. Also does anyone know how much a RB25 long motor weighs?

If anyone has used a company they could recommend or have the means to do this themselves please reply here, pm me or sms 0404998591 with details and approx cost not wanting to spend an arm and leg just to relocate the motor. Also if anyone is looking for a RB25 I am willing to sell it at this stage as my motor is still perfectly healthy and it could be picked up from the workshop direct in this case otherwise I will hold onto it.

Thanks in advance for all replies

have a mate with a ute? van?

put it on a pallet and hire out a trailer or something? just make sure the block is tied well to the pallet.

there's probably 101 ways of doing this haha.. its not like you're trying to transport a house.

Thanks for the replies and thanks again Lee (pm sent) for your offer of help. Due to my driveway I have organised a Ute with a hydraulic arm to collect and deliver but wont be a while we need to get to the end which is in the corner of the workshop atm blocked in.

If someone on here is looking for RB25 Long Motor just pm me I may let it go if its needed better than sitting around collecting dust :/

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
