Just a disclaimer...RB25s in a R32 are good things. I recognise this and i dont believe that the RB20 is a better basis for anything serious or somehting that is to be used in competition where tenths of a second per km hurt you (hill climbs etc etc)

But for somehting you want to spend 5k on and go fast. Well 5k on an RB20 will make for a faster R32 GTSt with a 5k std RB25 transplant. But throw a turbo setup on an RB25 in an R32 and you are laughing :D

But still RB20s are the most unloved Nissan motor. I dare say CA18s have a bigger fanbase, its really a shame as its clearly a good motor in its own right

also..

CON STANT LEE!!

LOL...am i that bad at whoring vids of my car :huh: LOL... if only you had of bought my car back in 2002 when i was working in Indonesia. Well i would probably be far wealthier today, and my car would have a tough RB30 if in your hands :)

hmm.. in theory YES..

in reality, it would have just been a nother notch on the CAR belt of TT.

longest I've kept a car is 1.5 years.

I'm now on to my... 15th... since 1996 hahahahaha

cordia turbo

exa turbo

telstar turbo

laser tx3 turbo 4wd

AE82 twin cam corolla hatch

mx6 turbo

liberty RS turbo

AE82 twin cam corolla seca

Silver R32 gtst (this is where your one would have fit)

Galant VR4

S14 200sx

Barina city (hahahahahahahahahahaha <-------- this is what happenes when a $16K S14 gets stolen and you were too tight to have paid comprehensive insurance)

R32 GTS4 sedan

AE93 Twin cam Corolla Seca

Liberty RS turbo

any mathemagicians wna tto calculate what the next car will be?

there's bound to be a pattern.

new water pump (might as well since the belt is off) - $250

last time i checked an rb30e water pump wasn't $250! last time i bought one they were like 35-40 bux.

rb25 for the win. plenty of power with just zorst, fmic and 10psi. Reliable as all f*k.

conversion to my 31 for 5 years had rb25det, cained the kent outta it. purred like a kitten the day i got rid of it. 205rwkw with cooler, zorst and 10psi wid piggy

Firstly, thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I had initially expected the worst, this being, the exhaust cam had shattered inside the head needing a rebuild, however this was no the case. The tip of the CAM, which connects to the CAS has snapped off but the rest had remained in tact.

Thanks to the champs at Boostworx, we replace the Exhaust CAM, CAS, and while we were at it got the bulk of the major service out the way. Tensioner/Idler, waterpump, most belts etc.

Was extremely pleased with the quality of work and service. All work came in under expected cost.

So for the time being the car is purring like only an RB can.

    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au  
    • Does have series 2 airbag steering wheel and passenger side airbag also.
    • Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5
    • I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
