If any of you guys hear of or know someone who recently brought an rb25det out of the quokka please contact me immediately on 0404344855.

This motor was stolen from me and then sold in the quokka, i dont want to see some poor skyline owner get charged for recieving stolen goods or something stupid like that. Also it helps me retrieve my stolen engine and them get their money back as well as the idiot who did this to get charged with stealing or stealing a motor vechicle.

Thanks alot for your attention

you should advise all workshops and parts outlets that deal with lines and supply the engine number to the workshops. If the dude who bought it is oblivious of the fact that it is stolen he wouldn't be thinking of grinding off the e#.

Did you see the ad in the quokka, if so which week was it in. I'd like to see if my cousin could try to trace who owns, or owned the phone # used. More than likely a mobile which has been cut off now. But the phone company may have some details that could help.

thanks heaps for your support guys...

i know who stole it because he did an engine swap for me, he just decided he would palm off my engine and keep the money instead of letting me have it back..

the cops are already all over it and he doesnt have a leg to stand on, he even used his own mobile number and suburb in the quokka listing, he isnt the smartest of people...

ill post an engine number tommorrow...

it was advertsed in the quokka released on the 10/02/05 in the asian parts section under skyline, listed for $1500.. hes has/is trying to palm it off as a working engine when it has massive blow by due to a ring gone in number 1.

some people eh?

luckily you've got alot of ammunition on your side so prosecuting the guy won't be a problem, i'm sure as soon as the guy installs this engines he's going to see it doesn't work and then alot of word will go around of trying to fix it.

just for good measure whose the guy that ripped you off so that we all can blackmark anything him of his friends do ever again.

You realise that the worst thing the person can do is own up to buying the engine? If they do then the cops will give it back to you and the person who bought it will never ever ever get their money back.  

lol stuff that

Hey tdawg, what's that last comment supposed to mean.. "lol stuff that"

It means if I bought the stolen engine thinking it was legit and I liked what I bought then found out later it was stolen off some guy I have never met, I would not give it back. Not because I am a bad person but because you would never get the cash back that you paid for it. Whats more important... You or someone else?

Tdawg, im sure the REAL owner of the engine is willing to pay the person to get the motor back man, i dont think hes just expecting someone to give the motor back and have them lose out on 1500$ ?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
