Let's see, my dealings with Steve - he advertised a newly rebuilt RB25DET gearbox with an OS Giken Cross Set on the forums here.......I bought it off him, put in in my car to find out it wouldn't go into 4th at all - it was stripped by Western Suburbs gearboxes in Brisbane to find out it was a completely standard box with a blown 4th gear synchro & 3 smashed keys (had never been rebuilt in their opinion). Steve promised to repay the outlays for the repairs, never saw all the $$, doesn;t answer calls, emails etc.

I reported it to the administrators on this forum but for some reason they have not added him on the bad trader list!?

yea slapper i had a similar dealing with him. payed him for a safc II only to be fudged around for a good 3 months on stories as to why i have not recieved it and that it had been sent but has vanished and blah blah blah. after sending a message saying i was going to go to the cops if i didnt get my money back i finally did. I think skylinegeoff is mates with him who is a fairly respected vic person.

Lets talk about the gearbox......

yes indeed. it should be interesting having a rear wheel drive with a 1000hp reving to 12grand. the synchros love it :D

im asuming you are geting it fully tubbed with a nice 4 link setup?

and then thers the fuel budget... :P

but should be fun. we have a new lagmaster charlie ;)

no ofence intended to anyone, just my 2 cents, we all have our own definision of a quick set-up i mean err spastic street car.

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
