what is wrong with the motor?

I'm assuming you have a RB25DET NEO, they're pretty solid motors and will spin 400kW ish without any real drama.

There are a few fellas here making stupid numbers on their stock motors and pound them often on the track too

Forged internals are pretty

But not necessary in most cases :P

I wanted to do a rebuild and make mine able to handle anything i threw at it if I decided to change things later on so thast why I went forged.

I'd focus more on ARP studs etc to be honest.

It really depends on your intended use, your budget and your power goal

brought it as a project nothing was wrong internal wise, had a bit f a leak though and im still on my p's so cant drive it till august next year and i wanted to build something quicker, but rather do it all right the first time then having to pull it out and do shit to it again, anyone recommend doing anything specific like stage 2 cams, keep side mount or go front etc... shit like that, also replacing the fuel pump with a walbro (anyone run one?) and going with the fg GT35R turbo (thoughts on turbos?)

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
