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

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
