Hi everyone,

I have just purchased a rb25det for bargin of a price, only slight problem is the engine is damage. Ive been told that 2 pistons are damaged, which isnt confirmed, im hoping the ringlands are damaged instead of the pistons.

Been reading on the forums that alot of RB25det have problems with ringlands being damage due to high boost.

I know that the engine was running pretty high boost with factory cooler.

My plans for the engine is to take the engine apart find out exactly what is damaged, if pistons are blown, should i invest in forged pistons or should i just find a new factory pistons?

I also plan to port the heads, and cams. thats all for engine work.

The turbo charged of choice is HKS or Garrett GT3037 with an external wastegate & a new manifold, and maybe get a trust plenum to tidy up the intercooler pipe work.

I plan for the car to be an everyday car. Im only wanting to hit 250-260rwkw.

Is what im doin overkill?....any advice would be greatfull.

Thanks,

Joe.

I have got a r32 gtst with a r33 intercooler/fuel pump. Got a r32 Power FC. Once the engine goes in the car i will sell the r32 gtst power fc & buy a r33 power fc.

I also got a Os Giken twin plate clutch (still using the r32 gearbox untill it blows)

550cc injectors.

So ECU & hopefully the fuel department is taken care of.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is kind of what I expected given the use case. I took my liners out for track days too.... It makes me consider just getting a diffuser and not bothering with the arch liners themselves. For the most part I would like to avoid water/mud/jank splashing up from under the car onto the bottom of the engine, lines, wiring, etc etc. (but brake ducts are cool too). Especially given this post on SAU here: Where it's implied you have to cut them because the actual tub is different? Which is pretty damn worrying because that is where the liners rub in a GTR with wider wheels... I definitely won't want to pay $2000 for plastic then cut them up. It also means said wider wheels rub on the tub in a GTT? FML. That said, I have found some evidence someone ran a 295/30/18 without scrubbing these liners. (and by extension.. the tub).
