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

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
