Im currently taking my adapter plate and modifying it to include the girdle/main caps (CAD Designed, CNC/Laser cut). Should be done in about ~2weeks.

Im pretty sure ive got the pro engines one......can someone post up the price? Then ill know :O

I think they are $650 posted for the plate, or $990 with the oil pickup, all the fasteners and the guide for "notching" the block, they are the only one so far that noone has complained about fitment problems. They can be bought off their store on ebay, or through www.proengines.com

rang nizpro today to see if they would sell one of theirs.said no .they are a pack of rude cops very unhelpful

same with rips he said id have to buy a whole bottom end.thanx but no thanx

Do you blame them?

I mean, honestly, they've done the hardwork in designing them as part of a 'package' to sell to customers.

Its unlikely someone paying for a full motor will mass produce parts/copy, but someone just wanting one... its highly like its going to be copied.

That said, if proengines are selling them, then why ring anywhere else?

With a 800hp setup, dont you know a fabricator or decent quality?

ash, you cant really copy this type of item without pretty much designing it from scratch and making a fair few templates in the process urself. it took me 4 trial plates and many many hours in the shed measuring and drafting up just for the adapter plate, as every hole has to be pretty much perfectly aligned. I'm now 1/4 way through the first run for the main caps/adapter plate, and this one has to be even more accurate.

Yes there's alot of man hours gone into a thing like this, but at the end of the day, if there's people wanting them, why would workshops turn them away if they know they are going to make profit on them.

But anyhoo, i should have my first girdle back from the machinist in the next 2 weeks.

Shane your plate inc girdle bearing caps seems to be the only one so far that I am aware of.

I have often wondered why no-one has done it that way as the strength and stability of such a design has to be the way to go.

The cost obviously will be more so let us know how much and exactly how the plate and caps will be integrated.

The problem is going to be getting it to fit perfectly, as to accomodate the main bearings and the way they are notched into the caps. It can be done, but a few trial copies are gonna have to be made.

Another thing is, you'll have to source some longer ARP main studs, but that's no biggie.

I know that RIPS sold one to an aussie customer who then turned around and copied the design claiming them as his own (it wasn't pro engines). He sold the copy to a guy in the UK and it was a piece of crap. Rob found out about it and was none to happy.

I don't know what the big drama is. pro-engines make them. by all accounts they are a top product that greg designed and made after seeing growing need for a kit so people could build their own RB30s for GTR. call him up, send him some money and you are under way :w00t:

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
