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

Sacrilege to the God of Skylines !

Oh the humanity !

OK I'm better now  !

As joshuah96 said but looks like the clutch master cylinder was out before it was painted !

Very sus that !

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.

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 has just 'slapped' on a turbo on the factory ecu.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
