Um........ my 31 has a forged engine with multilayered head gasket To4e, external gate, Nisstune ecu, 440cc injectors, adjust FPR and a whole bunch ov other crap and was all done a Collier engines in adelaide for 6,000 with records..... so thats y everyone seems to question your 5000 to reco an rb20.

A VRS kit cost about 200 bux from motor traders and even with timing tensioner kit proly 500 for both then a few hundred for metal HG and while u doing the Head gasket u can slap in the seals from the vrs kit would take no more than 10 hours of work if u did it slow as f**k and even if u charged $100 per hour lab job would cost no more than 1500 - 2000 for rb20 so please expalin what the other 3000 was spent on so we can ALL understand.

^^ exactly. paying 5 grand to put a metal head gasket and a recod head on an rb20 is f**kin ridiculous

mate no argument its priced well, but when you state things like its had 5000 bux worth of work done,

it rings alarm bells in most peoples heads and makes us wonder IF it really has had that work done why is it so cheap? and it makes no sense 5000 for a head job and new seals on an RB20??

i have a 6000 dollar engine in my car and there would be no way in hell i would get rid of it at 10% of its value,

so im in the same seat as everyone else what has really happened to this engine for it to hav 5000 spent on it and the only upgrade was a head gasket

oh my gosh some people must have never stopped pushing pencils for a second to see what labour costs.

for example. to replace all the exhaust manifold studs on an rb20 with the motor still in the car your looking at close to $1000.

$$$ really do add up quickly.

for exapmle, i ifitted extractors to a triton the other day, it was meant to be a $400 job, by the time the guy left my shop he was up over $1000, when i undid the manifold, every second stud would the thread out of the alloy. so i had to helicoil all the studs and fit new studs.

it may cost $700 in parts to do the work that was done to the rb20 but labour is the killer~!!!

AND THE REASON THE MOTOR IS BEING SOLD IS BECAUSE IM PUTTING A 1JZ IN MY SKYLINE SO I DONT NEED THE RB20. FAAAAARK

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
