Up for sale is an R33 Skyline RB25DET engine and original 5 speed gearbox. The whole lot is pretty much complete except the engine is missing the plastic fan, plastic cover over the sparkplugs and intercooler, the gearbox no clutch (removed).

I'd prefer to sell it as one instead of splitting it up. The engine has done about 105,000 km's, I assume the gearbox has done the same. I bought it off Ebay about 18 months ago and it has just sat undercover since , apart from turning it over by hand every 6 months. Compression is good at around 160 PSI per piston, everything else on the engine looks standard.

Included is the hydraulic master and slave (for clutch), engine computer, loom, all engine sensors, aircon compressor, alternator, power steering pump, turbo, exhaust manifold, inlet manifold, gearstick with rubber boot. Overall the engine and gearbox are in good condition, and I'm confident you'll have no trouble with it. I'll try and get some photo's later in the week.

$2800 the lot.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Why do you sell it now?

I bought it before I went back to uni, while I still had access to a garage...but now I don't. I won't be able to install it for a few more years untill I finish my studies. I went a bit overboard buying cars and bits and pieces over the last few years, now a lot of it is just laying around taking up space, like my Holden Kingswood Wagons, they're next to go, thats what i planned on using the engine/gearbox for. Anyone interested in a 1971 HG kingswood wagon? I've got two, good condition.

I know you're not wanting to part it out, but would you consider selling without the gearbox? I'm considering doing an RB25DE => RB25DE+t conversion and so really don't need the gearbox at all :down: Actually, there's quite a lot on there I don't need, but 'd rather have the option of just doing a full engine-swap (replacing any missing bits of the new engine with ones from mine).

Yes, I'd if you just want the engine, I'll sell that, havn't worked out a price for engines alone, did you need the computer as well?

yeah I would.

I'll separate the engine and gearbox if someone wants one bit, $1350 for gearbox, $1600 for engine, $2800 the lot, located Sydney. I can take it to a transport depot if you want to it trucked to your state. I can get the engine/gearbox trucked to Melbourne for about $150 through a contact.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
