Hey All..

I'll fill you in on what the bad part of my story is... 2 weeks ago I met up with R31Nismoid up in Sunshine for a cruise, and after a bit of 'harder-than-average' driving, one of my pistons failed causing my car to turn into smoke blowing, un-driveable piece of japanese metal...

But After getting it towed home, to SEAFORD... and then to the mechanic I learnt the terrific news Yesterday that the 3 yr warranty I bought when I got the car, is going to pay for the full cost of a rebuild.. Mmm.. Rebuilt RB25.. :D

BUT, The reason for my post is mainly a question.. Anyone out there had their motor (RB25DET) rebuilt? And what was it like afterwards? Like what can I look forward to? Besides an engine that should run smoother than factory...

Anyone got some comments on What I can look forward to?

Cheers ;)

Ok, My Mods are as follows :

- Go Fast Bits Boost Controller (Currently Set to 12 PSI)

- Duel Entry Ball Bearing Turbo

- Blitz Turbo Timer

- Blitz Adjustable Struts/Suspension

- HKS Pod Filter

- HKS Performance Clutch

- HKS 4' Down Pipe from the turbo, Into a Hi-Flow Cat, into a 3' Custom Exhaust

- Autometer Boost Guage

- Avanti 17' Deep Dish Rims

- JVC MP3 Player, with 4 Pioneer 3 way 6' Speakers, and a 600watt Avantgarde Competition Amp feeding power to a 500Watt 12' Clarion Subwoofer in Custom Box with Custom Graphics

.....The mechanic said that my piston collapsed, which I'm not 100% about but hey, in the end I don't car as long as it's all fixed... I'll know more by the end of today as he's pulling the motor apart today..

Hope that helps :D

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      😜 hopefully we get this instead of a new R36 GTR due to recent financial problems at Nissan. Nismo to sell a complete kit with RB26 and driveline. All starts making sense (ok maybe not) once the Nissan Leaf's (Leaves?) with stuffed EV motors/batteries hit the market cheap
