Admin delete if not allowed please, I just purchased an r32 GTST with a Gtr front bar , grill I assume bonnet? (maybe) I have 2 questions he told me it had an RB25det I’m new to the RB world, and this is the photo I have taken and also I noticed a piece near my suspension broken is this fixable , will update new photos tomorrow once I have lifted her up and removed the LHS wheel I want to know if there is ways around this , I didn’t notice anything as it drove with no knocks on the suspension or weird feeling 

 

the car feels sluggish, and the rpm cluster literally goes to 3.5-4k rpm and when you put your foot down it dances around like the local girl on Canterbury road or Sefton playhouse the car sat for 8 years he said the oil was dropped and re done , I noticed the oil was very clean car starts no problems by all means it’s not a clean car it is a project but doesn’t need much, knowing me I will go overboard the colour is horrible car has 88k kms hardly driven needs a few things but it’ll be fun to build properly 

 

so guys is this an rb20 or rb25

and what is this bracket called? Can it be fixed thanks

Has the VCT bulge on the intake(Actually, you can see the VCT solenoid on the intake side, so looks like an RB25, but thats not a RB26 intake for sure. Wouldn't be surprised if its a rb25 that someone

It is, and you do. Everything points at it being a series 2 non NEO rb25. Of course, unknown internals so you don't know how hard you can push the setup.  If you can get hold of a borescope you could

There is absolutely no way to tell. What we can tell you is that it is an RB. It has a single, low mounted turbo, so it would seem likely that it is an R20 or 25, but it has RB26 inlet side and valve covers. As it is clearly a frankenstein, it could be absolutely anything. It is unlikely to be good, unless the person responsible for the painting was not also responsible for the engine.

That bracket is not a bracket and it is not broken. It is the top end of the suspension upright, connected to the outer end of the front upper control arm. It is your suspension. Take the wheel off and look at it.

If its running like a dog, then the dead giveaway is the intake.. missing the AFM.

You might be able to find the engine number (if about it hasn't been painted over....) the prefix should be rb25 or rb20

Got on the side of under the manifold says 75T 

owner said it’s an rb25det and 25box unsure but I was certain that rb25det’s s2 don’t have an ignitor  at the back ( I might be wrong here) rb20’s and early s1 models do aswell? I’m confused about this car I got it for a low price tbh factory sunroof , etc it has been sitting for a whole couple years then the guy I got the car off got the oil done couple weeks before I got  and he got busy with his business and it sat there for abit prior to him listing it for sale and doing the oil etc,

car feels sluggish? Rpm spikes up and down bounces like crazy under acceleration coilpacks? Tune? Turbo ? I knew it was going to be a project as it’s what I wanted but I don’t want to throw big money on parts if I don’t know if it’s a rb25det neo or not, or what the heck is going on 

OP didn’t know much about the car as he got it from a friend of a friend who done the work to the car 8-9+ years ago and the bloke I bought it off lost the buyers info so I’m lost

Meh, just saw the Nissan badge on the plenum on the thumbnail and presumed it wasn't as nasty a fake up as the paintjob.

Yes paintjob is fkn nasty orange 🤢🤢🤮I did not do that to this car mate I want  to remove the motor to build it from ground up or just buy another Rb25det and build that and go respray this thing in a bayside blue with a Rocket bunny kit 🤷🏻‍♂️
