[Reese69]

hi doig a RB25 head 30 bottom - need someone to port, polish, bore, acid dip, balance ect all the fun stuff -

anyone recommend any shops - i am after quality work -

thanks in advance

[Sinista32]

locally? - no sorry

I believe TiTAN has his RB25/30 for sale still, you should buy his rather than build your own. Save a lot of time, money, and headaches.

Agreed! He spent so much time building that engine!

and it made proven power with his turbo set up which is also for sale.

yeah i have been talking to him - unfortunatly i have brought 80 % of my internals which i got for very very cheap - all i need now is what i asked for in the above post..

is auto tech in fyshwick doing engine work ?

[Anfanee]

I recently had a full rebuild (forged bottom end, top end rebuild for a good price from the guys at ultimate tunes. you could give them a buzz and inquire what they will charge.

Get someone who has had experince with RB's. Take it to Duncan Foster in Sydney....or if you want the whole engine package done, send it up to Paul at red R racing in Newcastle.

Bitter much? *ducks*

All the work on my car was done at Autotech, but the motor was done by Racepace in Melbourne. Autotech used to get another company to do their engine internal work, not sure if that's the case still though. Give them a call and if they do it in house, I'd give them a shot.

How about those guys in SA who build RBs? Lewis engines.

They seem to have it sorted out, (oil control and pumps)

They have a RB 2.25 that im thinking would be good for me.

Does anyone know if they are any good?

2.25? wha? What's with 32 owners not realising it's cheaper, easier, and better to just whack a stock 25 in there??

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Is it.

Cheaper to change stuff i already have?

Easier? i doubt it.

Or just pay the shop to do it.

Pity the fool with no tools.

[Trozzle]

Build an RB20 up and suffer inferior performance, or don't build an RB25 and get greater performance.

A stock 25 will be better bang for buck than a forged 20. That's my point lol. Bolt-ons and labour aside, why spend more for less?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

If i wanted more power i wouldnt have bought a Skyline.

Im not a power tripper. Im actually happy with what its got now, id just like it to be solid and smooth.

I just want a nice to drive car i can mess with in the shed.

A bit of a toy to play with.

Constantly chasing power and speed is a waste of time and money, considering one can just buy it out of the box.(GSXR1000!)

Troy you know what i mean, you ride.

If you dont have a goal or stopping point for the mods on the car, it gets way too expensive and pointless.

ANYWAY.... im getting off subject. Reece was asking about engine builders.

So no one good in Canberra?

Had anyone tried or heard if these Lewis engines are any good?

PS: Happy with Autotech Nik? I want a Nistune and they are the only ones in Canberra.

Yep - no problems with it thus far and I was driving it like I stole it (and then the clutch let go, doh...)
