what result did you get eg what power @ what psi. when did it hit full boost, how user freindly was it?

which exhaust housing was it

car tuned again tonight. found the turbo had a leaking oil seal. oil through out the coolerpiping and intercooler. yay. blows smoke like thomas the tank engine.

still going to run this weekends drift day but we left the 5psi boost it had. i need to sort it by next weekend thoe for drift australia.

rb25de+t is an orsome combo. very pleased i did it.

Hi mate,

Had the .82 houseing on it!

Max power had it up to was about 283rwkw on 18-19psi and full boost about 3900-4000rpm (big cams). Need a surge tank setup and would have made 300. But that was on a built motor aswell.

As for user friendly there is not such thing! In the wet forget up touch boost unless your ready to hang on!

But other than that its a great turbo and in the dry if you drive it right its great!

Probably got a couple of old dyno sheets some where!

I think the guy that bought the car off me has a heap that i left in the car to!

But let me know how you go with it

Cheers

i had some dash plastics on the rx7 retrimmed to block off some useless controls (heater, cd, ashtray, lighter etc). looks heaps better than the scratchy plastic coating that used to be on display. going to fill the stezza din space with that sheet of carbon and mount some switches and the fc commander on it.

hey guys well my car has been off the road now for about 4 months im doing the rb25det head to rb30et bottom end rebuild, my car was lacking power so i stripped the whole rb25det engine down and found 6 cracked pistons, bought a complete rb30 engine from the wreckers for about 350 dollars striped that down, sent my block do get acid cleaned, bored, and honed

Im waiting on my head to get back from getting a rebuild and my crankshaft pulley,clutch,flywheel,cranshaft,rods and pistons from getting balanced one i get that back we can start building my engine

i got a complete rebuild kit to suit the engine im building this includes

1mm ACL MLS Headgasket

Forged 20 thou oversized CP Pistons

Precision H-Beam Rods

Bearings,Gaskets,seals

other items i have bought to date include

Apexi Power FC

T3/T4 turbo

Extreme heavy duty clutch

Extreme light weight chrome-molly flywheel

aftermarket smaller crankshaft pulley

Walbro fuel pump

fuel regulator

items i need to finish the job

N1 oil pump

M1 water pump

thermo fan

surge tank

740cc nismo injectors

surge tank

oil catch can

split fire coil packs

Q45 throttle body

Q45 airflow meter

Plazmaman plenum or greddy plenum

new pipework

cant wait to its finally finished missing it already hoping to get around the 300rwkw mark so far it has cost me alot of money and time but in the end i hope it will be worth it

im doing the 25/30 thing at the moment. It will be nice to have more torque over the 25.

Yeah it gets expensive fast. My bottom end was over 8K to have built. But my goal is a little more than 300kw as my 25 made 399kw

Good luck with it anyway

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
