What an epic waste of money. I just built a neo for less than 3k with a similar power figure target. I just started an rb30/25 build with the same target power figure, this will cost below 3k including awd adaptor. IMHO I would never bother with anything other than an rb30 when its going in a Stagea. You must have your doubts thats why you made the post, so I suggest shopping around and supply all the parts. Some of the machining being quoted implies the engine is stripped and has been measured, has it? if not the you are being quoted for shit you may not need or even get.

The converter is $400 ish unfitted..you can go up to 3000rpm wilst still retaining lockup..

as for the engine build you should have came on here and asked about it first and maybe saved some coin..lol

If you want to go 350rwkw, you better take the box back to Mike and dump another 2G in that, and 350 would easily

be the limit. Manual to auto.. retaining standard converter you lose 20rwkw..

Turbo wise, i thought what you had was decent, you just need to turf the f**king gay ass .73 ATP housing that bill for some

f**king unknown reason sells in the year 2012 still..he tried to sell one to me and i laughed my head off and told him it was a p.o.s..lol, hypergears G3 is 1/3 the price and performs..

Hang on...

'FIT PISTONS AND RODS: $245.00'

'REASEMBLE ENGINE: $950.00'

In all fairness, if you can't do it yourself or aren't confident, it's a lot to spend BUT if it's built properly, it'll be worth it.

A lot of backyard builders out there who have NFI what they're doing so it's not something you skimp on.

Does it come with warranty?

You would be able to source parts cheaper but some builders won't let you supply parts as they won't warrant it.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
