At a guess $500 at a minimum for shipping. So I could just assume $3500 aud to send it, have it done and send it back.

I didn't really want to pay that much but it's an option if I can't find anything closer.

Why fkn bother when a 200000km 15+year old RB25DET unopen engine can make over 300rwkw and last.. do what everyone else has said and buy a second hand engine replace the timing belt and water pump (100K service) and drop it in. you will have no problems making 240kw for years and most likely blow the turbo before the engine oh not to mention save alot of MONEY!

If you MUST rebuild so you know its like new i would recommend ERD (Elite Racing Developments)

$3500 nzd approx for rips to do it. Plus shipping both ways.

That isn't actually that bad. Most people pay that locally for some hack workshop to do it. Why don't you try ERD or all of the other local ones first?

Or why don't you just buy a neo off here? They come up for sale fairly often if you search every week.

jet r31 can you please pm me some contact details please.

il go to nissan about an oil pump and a set of pistons tomorrow.

il give spot on performance a call tommorow, thanks for the info booztjunkey

Don't buy anything unless you speak to a builder, they will have all their own preferred parts.

Why not just get RIPS to send over a RB30 short motor? Prep your existing head to suit, modify piping and get it engineered.

That is way out of his budget.

Steven you should get a quote from CRD in Brisbane and Paul at Red-R Racing in Newcastle. Tell them to beat RIPS price and go with it.

I had Boostworx here in Adelaide rebuild my Stagea S1 Rb25 for $4200 including forged CP pistons, complete block prep and head clean up.

That was a Tow-in and drive out price, including the dynotune in a months time once Ive reached the 1000km running in mark. They outsourced machining but performed the complete assembly, including engine out/in.

The rebuilt forged bottom end is driving very nicely indeed; only minor issue I have is the fog lights & audio amplifier arnt working but I know they'll fix that up for me considering they were working pre-rebuild.

Once rebuilt find a Good workshop for tuning for a safe & mild tune and stick with them.

Personally Id be leaning towards a budget rebuild but including forged pistons over a used secondhand block, and I wouldnt be going for new genuine pistons when the CP's are cheap brand new on ebay currently. But thats just my opinion.

He needs a need AWD neo for a stagea and they don't come up every day.

That is way out of his budget.

NZD$4250 with adapter and pickup is way out of his budget?? Really??

ok there is lots of responses on here il try to do them in order.

r33 eddy - im avoiding using erd (had a great experience with him and a less satisfying experience), but they out source their machining as far as i know or atleast thats what i read on here.

wolverine - i did consider the rb30 and i talked to rips about it but just isnt what i am after. i want to try to keep my vct. if i could keep the vct i probably would have got one already.

rolls - il definately discuss my options with a machinist before purchasing anything.

tangles - crd is in silverwater nsw, im guessing you miss typed erd, as above not wanting to use them. i was looking at cp pistons because i assumed they would be a cheapish opton. im really only looking to do a refresh with new pistons/rings, oil pump and bearings anyway.

dvs - is it an awd block?

wolverine - as above is a good option just no vct opton so :(

If you use your neo VCT head prepped to suit an RB30 on the relatively low comp RIPS standard bottom end how will you lose VCT? The smaller chamber volume of the neo head will bump up the compression nicely and it will work just the way it does now except with more grunt down low.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
