Hi guys I'm branching into the NSW community to ask for help

I'm in need of the services of someone in the Fairfield/Liverpool region who can pull my rb20 and box out and put in an rb25 and gear box betwen the dates of today 12/10/09 through to 25/10/09.

I have very basic tools and no jacks or hoist or stands or other equipment.

If anyone has the resources and loves doing this sort of thing in their spare time please pm contact details and I will employ the services of such individual(s) for a fee which you think is reasonable or you can help yourself to parts from my sale thread below.

You may ask why don't I just go to a shop?

I answer by saying that Every bit of work ony car has been done in my back yard and have gained much knowledge this way. I would love this opportunity to learn something more that clearly isn't possible by just paying some workshop to do all the work for ya surely some things have to be done eg tuning but mechanical side of things I love getting my hands dirty...

For all the enthusiatic SAUers that are willing to help my cause please send me a pm with your contact details.

Thanking everyone in advance.

ever play lego when you were a kid?

think about lego but with bigger, weirder looking parts. personally id rather pull a motor out than build one of those modern day lego technix toys - its easier.

become a member, borrow the engine crane and get yourself a spanner and a 1/2" and 3/8" socket set - you can do it yourself if you're as interested as you say you are.

have you sorted out the wiring? im not sure if the rb20 and the rb25 run the same ecu/ignitor/cas etc etc... have you thought it all through?

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
