Okay so I am planning to get myself a tool chest. Have been looking at Kincrome and the likes..

Found out that TengTools has a cool option to build your own chest. Guys at VEK also said they would bundle up an air compressor with rattle gun, etc.

Q. Any feedback regarding TengTools? I dont care about brand image - just need to know their durability, etc.

Repco make good quality tools for a sensible price and have life time warranty on them

if you go the repco route dont get there powerbuilt gear (not sure if they still sell it but they still do warranty swaps on it) i go a 500 odd piece powerbuilt double sliding toolbox setup with my tools for the trade about 6 years ago, most of it is all good however the ratchet handles' reverse switch falls out of them as they are poorly designed (they get replaced under warranty but its a pain taking them back and waiting for replacements). also the sockets are very lightly engraved with sizes so after a while its impossible to read. It doesnt effect there use its just an inconvienance

Glad to see this thread back in action :)

I have three Repco chests, get in there this weekend and snag one for 30% off. They seem fairly well built, I haven't got any complaints except that they keep filling up lol

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
