Item for sale is a series one RB25DET motor.

Includes:

complete unopened long motor, from sump to cam covers.

standard plenum (minus throttle body & cross over pipe)

standard set of working coil packs (minus ignitor box)

new timing belt along with all the idler bearings replaced

DOES NOT INCLUDE:

exhaust manifold, turbo, clutch/flywheel

Condition of motor is excellent, with compression and leakdown tests performed at Tilbrooks a week ago, just before motor removed from car, showing excellent compression and leakdown maximum of only 6% (where up to 10% leakdown is acceptable.

I have covered approximately 40,000kms with this motor (85000km on odometer), without ever missing a beat. Particular attention has always been paid to good tuning, good fuel, and good servicing. Oil is fanatically changed sometimes every 3000kms, and i have a log book of every service since i purchased the car ~2 years ago. Only top quality fully synthetic oil has ever been used, with log book detailing brand, grade and filter used at each change!

Reason for sale:

It is purely for my own peace of mind that i am swapping my stock motor for a fully rebuilt forged internals motor. Ever since my 2835ProS kit went on the standard motor, boost has never gone over 17psi. I have been wanting to crank the boost up for a while, and was told to just throw a head gasket in the stock motor and go for it. But i am extemely fussy and am a big fan of peace-of-mind! Therefore i wanted the security of knowing that i can safely push my turbo to its limits without finding the limits of the standard motor. Tuning has only ever been done by Simon @ Morpowa, and i have always been happy with his safe but effective tunes. Knock levels are consistently under 20.

The 2835 has been on the car only a short while, and so the motor has not been making 265rwkw for long.

Several people that have come to Tilbrooks enquiring about putting a RB25 into their R32, and Mark has recommended using my motor, stating that buying a motor from a yard or importer can be risky as these motors have often been sitting around for long periods and history is completely unknown. Whereas the health and good running of this motor is ensured.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
