Zertek - you have PM.

B-Man - rods are gone and pistons are ordered.

John - you should know all about talking to RB25 parts being a fellow short-stroke tragic!

benm - Please tell me where the camera is placed in my bedroom?! I didn't think anyone could see me with the parts!

:D

  • 4 weeks later...

Some new bits coming:

....BUT without the pickup and with a -12 male fitting on the side.

...and some pulleys to suit.

I was expecting carnage when the motor was pulled down but it was a simple case of a 2-inch section of ringland from number one gone and number two losing tension in the rings. Every rod, bore, piston (apart from no.1) and the crank look perfect. A bit disappointing when you're expecting some serious carnage but a good thing when you're building the same motor.

More to follow soon.

i see u've gone softcock on the oiling.

here i was thinking u were a serious drag racer :mellow:

good enough set-up for a well known GTR to run 8's with

makes my Jun pump and 9 litre baffled sump look like a limp dick

Thats hardly carnage at all?

Thats weaksauce man... it still would have run a few more passes... albeit a bit smokey :sorcerer:

Looking good with the new party pack 'o parts you have there.

Gate is love

I was genuinely disappointed with the result - should have run another pass or 12 on the bottle huh?!?!

It wasn't running that well to be honest.... Sounded nearly as shithouse as an SR20DET.

Gate is love. :)

buy me an auto aswell and i'll agree :D

P.S i've been building my gtr for the last ~13months :)

Come on!!! I've only got a weeny little RB25 and a baby GT35 and you've got a twin cam 3L and 4WD. Surely the auto is the leveling factor?!?!

:D :D :D

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
