Hmmm... $5200 for 3.4Ls...

Or $1500 for 5.7Ls... I know which I'd prefer... :D:P

But then its not a Skyline, and I want my Skyline to be a Skyline. That is all your aircon and alternator and dash wires etc etc etc all plug in and line up. I've had engine conversion cars before and while the 'other' motors performance was better, it was a PITA when you went to o anything like turn your headlights on or believe the speedo and dash or use the aircon and even stuff like lining the gearbox and rear diff up so that you didn't chew out bearings and seals - its never that simple. I'm way over ever doing that again.

However using the 3.4 you don't have any of those issues because its the same motor by the parent company but uprated. Everything fits, the engine mounts, the clutch, gearbox, wiring, you name it, it fits. And the cost may be a bit more [but not that much more than a normal RB25/30 with forgies etc] to start with, but you will get that back and then some in reliability and not having to mod or 'bend' other parts to suit.

Of cause others will disagree, but it works for me.

couldn't agree with you anymore - gtr (or gtst) needs to run an rb :)

Ive been very interested in this once i saw it, but when i went on youtube, there is only a movie of the motor starting and idling.

does anyone have a link to an actual running motor?

no, not in the slightest im afraid.. :(

kinda sucks huh that this thread is a little old now. I would think that SPOOL would at least sponsor some peoples cars to test the new kit so they have an idea of the pros and cons: as a nice street motor with -5's would be my favourite even with a 7500rpm rev limiter.

Testing on tracks at constant high RPM and even some dyno queens with 1000+ hp

Many members with an rb26 are rebuilding ATM, maybe some of them can contact spool and ask to be a test/promo vehicle.

^^^I've already got insurance!!!

lol was that a troll remark about the insurance company "shannons" i was referencing to the film festival episode of southpark.

but seriously it is kinda gay nothing has been done yet, like sponsored cars or any other builds. atleast they should show a video of the car actually driving!

Currently have our rb34 underway atm. Hopefully have it back next week ready for assembly. Wont be until early next year when its ready to run though.

I must say the quality of the kit is astounding. The crankshaft looks mint.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
