Your best off sending him a pm, but I must advise he has spent a pretty penny as his car is a drag car these days...

But he did have it road registered and road worthy for a while until he got really serious about drag racing...

SR can run that standard internals no sweat.. even on 1 bar of boost and by 3700rpm :blink:

u knw u want to be the 2nd line with a SR20 in it..

So can an RB25

Many many RB25s have made around 300rwkw on stock bottom ends, I however like to be safe hence why I have an engine built to handle 800hp when I only intended to run around 400hp

And Yes I know SRs can pull similar numbers they are however also unsafe, I like my car to be well with in limits and assuming our friend here has already popped one engine I am sure he would rather be on the safe side from now on

and sif second skyline to have an SR

25/30..going to do it, do it right. You will love it.

keep your head. Sell your bottom end for a few hundred.

Pick up a rb30 for 100 bux. cheaper can be found easy enough.

depending on power, forged spool rods for like 800-900bux should pull it up or can use standards, forged pistons for like 1350.

new bearings maybe 120, thats mains and big ends. headgasket for like 200 or less.

Just machining($1000) and assembly(fark knows, never paid anyone to assemble a motor before) required.

Exhaust will need to be modified, and ic piping, if using std inlet you might need to drop the crossmember down a little with some spacers or raise the bonnet.

There is a little bit of work involved, but if your not afraid to turn some spanners and get your hands dirty, not only can you save some money you might learn something.

i didnt think having a slow sr powered skyline is cool. Unless slow cars with small engines are considered cool nowadays?

... :D tsk tsk another SR hater..

yeah.. well ur an individual (ricer) and im sure that if i was a show car or something wanting to be different i wouldnt want to have the run of a mill RB25 in my sweet lookin skyline. i would go for something else.

personally if i was in brentons position and i had money i would go a different engine.. prob a 1UZ or 2UZ perhaps a JZ engine but a SR20 would be a nice conversion over the Rb20 25 26 and 25/30s thats been done..to death.. too many lines out ther and nothing stands out unless u have 750hp

an SR half cut is far less than a RB25 cut in similar condition. u cna use the RB25 auto if u want. which is slighty strongr than the SR i would presume.

brentons car is unique so im sure a conversion thats been done less would attract far more votes at shows than a 25/30 with 500ponies..

Hell yes now thats a plan!!!

i hope your joking?

read up i think my opinion is valid

SRs are actaully as expensive if not more so than a 25

ok i would agree that the sr is a great motor if not one of the best 4cyl engines around tons of support and knowledge out there great little bit of gear,

BUT THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD EVER CONSIDER PUTTING ONE IN MY SKYLINE!

SR conversions are for old school datto's carollas gemi's etc. or of-course the silvia/180 lineup

yeah spoke to dan on the phone just waitin for him to email the quote

Sorry mate, I have re-sent the email. Probably best to discuss in person as customisation can be done.

Also - who told you $4k for second hand - it's more like $2k

Hey man.

How would you go with a r34 gt-t neo engine.Would it fit??As i think i can sell you one cheap complete. :)

pm. me if you are interested!! :)

yes the neo will fit. but the neo aint much different from a normal RB25. not really an upgrade imo

dude. i got one sitting at my house. take me 2 days to do the conversion.. but that engine is going into the S14 which we inspect this weekend.. he'll even have tip tronic. lol

5k S14 FTW :)

actually noel u couldnt be more wrong.. have a look. RB25 180sx are going for 17k for a 90 model.. and SR ceffys go for more than the RB ones do. and im sure a skyline with a SR20 in it would fetch more than a RB25.. why cause people like individuality.. like ur ugly ass chromies.. :)

cars with engine swaps nearly always fetch more. unless its a molested converted skyrine vs a complete stock low kms model.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
