Hey everyone, i need some professional help and opinions on the following kit

http://www.spoolimports.com/spool-engine-rebuild-kits/nissan-rb25det-rebuild-kit

seems to be a nice cheap thing for a skyline, but being cheap, i'm a little sceptical about it.

Keen for the BBQ ash :thumbsup:

does your engine need work joe?? either way you need to pull the engine out to put that rebuild kit thru it. line boring etc for the main bearings cant be done in car, and they are never just a bolt in thing. so your looking at a full rebuild to put that stuff in. not sure on the price tho man, never looked into it.

I cleaned up under my house today...finally, now i can bring my beetle home and somehow shimmy it in underneath at a 90 degree angle to the other cars...and the doors

push it like a 200 series landcruiser thats run out of diesel on the gold coast highway... :thumbsup:

so you gotta put an unlicensed 15 year old at the wheel to steer so the adults can push...

lol, this sounds like a whole lot of hard work, and a good laugh if i was driving past :nyaanyaa:

Why even bother, just go steal a commodore. oh wait don't, thats more embarassing.

btw, for all the northerners (where ever to morayfield to scaboolture)

I will be holding a bbq at my place for a 'house warming shindig'

For all those guys ive met, and the ones i will soon are more then welcome to come over, food, drinks, clints singing voice.

Dates are yet to be organized, think of it as our first monthly meet and drink.

Since when did I sing?

bodo mate, i know the engine needs to be removed for the rebuild, however, i don't want to replace the engine, just do a forged rebuild to be able to take the power i want to put through it

yes well i want more power, and i can justify spend big dosh for a forged internals rebuild, but i want to see if this pack for $2000 is worth it or if it seems to good to be true

Not worth doing at this point, waste of money until you have done stage 1 mods, Stage 2 is where you start doing things like this. The stock crank and internals are good for around 300 rwkw's you will have no real power gain from doing this without a tune and a few supporting mods.

you would get more out of flowing your head.

Yay!, pod filter is in... new brake rotors and pads are sorted. ready for happy laps finally! no more earthquake brakes or steeringwheel shudder at high speeds :D if i can manage to wash my car tomorow im keen for westies tomorow, anyone else?

Edit: tomorow tomorow? lol tomorow

Understandable mate, however, I'm looking at a rebuild for a few reasons, one, my engine has seen a rather large number of k's and as such think that a rebuild would be an idea for it, another reason is because I'm wanting to skip stage 1 upgrades and go straight to stage 2, which means a forged rebuild anyway, I might be wrong and I might be silly skipping stage 1 but to be honest, I have never seen the point for stage 1 mods

You guys play too much GT5 :P

na, played way to many NFS plus too much GT 1,2,3 & 5.

basically, if i'm going to be doing up my car, i don't want to start small and work my way up, i want to go to the top, as like smity42 said about GT5 this is the real world and we don't have any restrictions besides our wallet, so why bother starting small and going up, waste of money to me

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
