Took a few photos of things tonight. Here is a shot of the compressor off an RB25det turbo (s1). Note the definite steel wheel. I think most people know this by now, but here is a pic if you just want to see for yourself. I know I for one never got to see the inside of my rb25 turbo when I had mine as I never had a reason to. But when things are off its always fun to study them Note the interesting twin blade compressor design..

Time To Break The 2 Day Drought... >> Done <<

forgot: the 93 models will probably have the RB25de which wouldn't be so bad.. glenn's old r32 used to go ok

yeah.. ford probe definitely.. they are the shit..

I am just after the whole blade off it.. e.g. everything that comes off the thread of the motor.. mb we can work something out?

anyone got a graph of a rb25 turbo on an rb20 handy... ?

As far as I know, and what I've seen - with a front cut you get the front brakes, dash, gearbox, wiring loom, and engine. Lots of useful bits and pieces. If you're doing any sort of conversion (manul conversion, or engine into some other car) they are the sort of things you need. If you're just using it to replace the engine then you can chuck out the rest of the bits or sell them. Lots of people buy them and just flog off the bits they don't need. Works out cheaper in the end by the time you've sold off all the "extras". I think they're popular just because in Japan its easier to chop the car into two with a big chopper thing (technical name), than dick around pulling the engine out, gearbox out, separating everything, etc, etc. Then it can just go into a container as one piece, which makes it easier for shipping in many cases. The panels are probably removed a) because they can get a good price somewhere, in japan or back to here as young people like to crash their skylines B) they'd probably just dented, scratched, etc anyhow when the cut is being chucked around for shipping.

yeah.. i had no luck with the 32 manual thru emule.. emuls is a bit shit..

:werd: 200B huh? be careful it might just snap it half.. or the doors fall off.. actually maybe that is part of the excitement.. give 'er hell!!

yes, I have noticed this too joel actually it'll be $1200.. they don't impose any taxes on ECU's ..

I think looking at the time of the post.. it was just a drunken rambling

I nabbed this off another site.. but its helva funny

Can somebody post pix.. i cbf going if you see the pics its the same anyhow.. and p.s. yes i have scottish blood. lol. ahhh.. so it *is* fast.. i saw that car at Coomera BP on friday night.. probably filling up with enough petrol to drive 100km

the price is at the top of the thread you silly scott..

noof.. no you don't, you just have a small knob

personally i just dump it in the garden in an empty spot.. garden doesn't actually seem to mind or kill anything off and about 2 weeks later you wouldn't even notice. Its actually just minerals and dead plant matter when it comes down to it anyway

so its just a stock VL turbo ? they don't flow too much unless highflowed.. but eh

i reckon max of 30 cars would be better @ $150 ? i'd pay more to have more track time.. I'll take the r31 out there b4 the other one gets here.. brakes and rear control arms replaced.. it now actually handles and stops a bit

You're best off dropping the engine in if at all possible yourself.. getting everything hooked up.. then calling up an auto-elec familiar with RB's to sort the wiring. The wiring is the messy part, but any workshop will probably just call in an auto-elec at the end anyhow.

May be difficult as I don't think you can import the non turbos anymore other than 1989. And when they were being imported, hardly would have been on the desireable list. Not many around.. do you really want a n/a 2.0L rb20e? -> they are meant to be as slow as dogs. Might get beaten by Excels even.. lol

The Burvale... ahh.. **** that was a shit pub.. even 5 years ago :-s the bottleshop was often useful.. haha.. burwood / knox has changed so much..

don't worry.. all the best victorians leave anyhow I'd also like to state its rained about three times in the last two months up here :wassup:

sounds like your base timing is shot... may need adjusting

s14 would be a good car.. surprised more people don't look for them rather than R32/r33.. better in many respects for the price.
