This thread has me very interested... How much could I pick up a 2nd hand RB25 turbo for? Will it be laggier? how much more power, or will it require a bit of tuning?..

$300 - $450

Yes, slightly.

Assuming the basic, exhaust, FMIC, etc. 15-30rwkw.

To get the most and safely, yes.

The biggest advantage is you'll get more power on and RB25 Turbo @ 7psi than you will on a RB20 @ 10psi so you're not stressing it as much, when turbo exhaust wheels let go they don't always just end up as rattly bits in the cat, they can go back up your exhaust ports and in to the engine, happened to GTRGeoff & RowdyR32 just recently, not pleasant...

MMMMmmmmm. Fortunately the GTR has steel wheels as that's a $12K engine, but the RB25DETT was only rebuilt 10K before at a cost of $3K plus my 25 hours of labour. :)
Feel for you buddy, I spoke to Rowdy on the weekend and he mentioned after talking to you it helped him diagnose why his RB26 GTST "sounded like a truck" to use his words.

After stacking the GTR he's not had a great run lately, I hope his Fireblade stays in one piece! :)

I can vouch for this upgrade being well worthwhile, I used to run a S1 RB25 turbo on my RB20 and found that it was great, always felt like it had more power and not laggy at all :)

It WAS a straight bolt in also :)

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
