Hi guys,

I decided to start my build thread here at SAU.com.au as mentioned in my introduction thread a few weeks ago.

The car was imported from Japan in 2014. Completely OEM (RB25DET NEO, AT, Sedan, KR4, built in 1998, 50220km). No modifications were made, which was very important for me. A few scratches and small dents here and there... nothing special.

Due to the standards for registration here in Germany several things had to be done. This includes new lenses with an e-number (certified registration within the EU) for the headlights, a rear fog-lamp and new tires with an e-number, too. After that the car was ready for German streets.

In 2015 I bought a new Blitz Nur Spec RX as a replacement for the factory one and Nismo indicators. 

It was a little strange to me that all the stickers (timing belt change, oil change, ...) were removed. And now comes the very - and with very I really mean fu**ing very very very very - bad thing about the car... The odometer reading was manipulated. During the change of the air purifier I've found a small sticker in the glovebox which says "Filter change at 86.xxx km" and a Japanese date (April/May 2009). Via the page japaneseodometercheck.com I figured out the correct odometer reading, which was around 100.218km at the time I bought the car. After that I decided to check the compression ratio of the engine. Well... guess what? Yes! They were not as good as expected.

In this moment I thought "God damn it! Let's drive the car intil the engine doesn't work anymore. Fu** off!". To my astonishment the engine survived 2015 and 2016. During the off season (October 2015 until April 2016) the transmission was swapped from AT to MT with parts of an wrecked ER34. I've done this by myself because I wanted to widen my skills and knowledge.

(That buddy really grew me some grey hair :D)

 

From March 2017 until August 2017 the engine was completely overhauled. Due to that process some aftermarket parts were fitted as well. ;)

The car now looks like this:

Let's see what will happen to it in 2018. A few parts are stored in my garage... :)

If you want me to post my spec list just let me know.

 

Regards

Michael

Cool car mate, welcome to the forum.

What's on the cards for 2018?

Thanks a lot!

The plans are as follows:

  • Blitz SE intercooler kit
  • Blitz RD oil cooler kit
  • Uras ducktail
  • Link G4+
  • GTX3071R
  • R35 injectors
  • Z32 MAF
  • Remap (ROZ 98)

Let's see what can be done in 2018. Hopefully all of it. :)

Yup, welcome to Jap import life.  To be clear, you should NEVER trust the indicated kms on the odo on any import.  Everybody here has known about it for 20+ years.  It's a fact of life.

Well... I was young and stupid. :D It should be obviously that not every sold JDM car has done ~100.000km after all those years. I've learned my lesson. Believe me.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
