Hay guys, I have an rb25det that was rebuilt 25'000km ago. Have reciepts for work done and dyno sheet with 194.8rwkw on 12 psi with haltech. does not come with ecu but with standard loom. Have the head off at the moment 4 photos of under the head and cylinders showing hone marks. Just wondering what it is worth?

whats it rebuilt with? What was "rebuilt"?

Sorry, silly me forgot to give details. The bottom end and top end were rebuilt using Standard internals (used original pistons, standard bore size), new rings and bearings and mains fitted, crank grind, block decked, head pressure tested and shaved, new guides and valve stem seals, reseat and grind valves. New gasket kit. I may of missed a few things but everything was done. Will check my receipts when i get home and repost anything ive missed. Turbo wasnt touched as it was checked and didnt need rebuilding said the machine shop where all the work was done.

Well I don't think that is considered a "rebuild" as such.

It's more of a "freshen up". Depending on who buys it I don't think you will get more than $3,500.

Thanks i should of said reconditioned then. because rebuilt means with new pistons right?

It is open to interpretation I think :domokun:

But usually most people will refer to a rebuild as all new (usually performance) internals.

I am curious as to why you didn't do a full re-build on this engine as the labour would have cost a bit? Or were you in a tight spot and needed the vehicle back on the road?

Bit tight on cash and needed to get the car on the road, had it in a vl. I bought the engine from sss, when i bought it it had 40k on it so i just decided to use the original internals and just 4 my peice of mind i had all the work done so it was basicly starting from scratch, fresh. I had it sitting in my shed for 2 years b4 i had enough cash to do it and god knows how long it had been sitting at sss or on the docks in japan. Went well until the standard gearbox gave way. Way 2 much power 4 a vl box 2 handle. Then lost interest in the vl and decided to buy a stagea instead. AWD rocks

well what do you call it then??? cause its a rebuild he had to put new parts in it even if it isnt forgies and all that its still a rebuild at the end of the day

I would refer to it as a "freshen up" as per my previous post.

Either way it's better than a 120,000km old RB25 with 120psi across all cylinders.

      It's actually really good advice. And I do try to do it. I actually have 2x 3KG dumbbells that sit right beside where I sit. And I look at them a lot. Use them a little. But I'm trying to do more with it. At the moment I'm going through a heap of weight loss too which will help. I cracked into the 85kg mark this week. My weight used to have me sit consistently between 93 to 95KG! That definitely doesn't help. I've also got POTS, which flared up after I got slapped with COVID a few weeks back, and POTS really smashes fatigue and stuff into you, and has a thing even called "excercise fatigue". Basically even the minorest "excercise" (walking from the garage to the house) causes fatigue! And one of the treatments (Other than a med I'm on) is also... Excercise... Ha ha ha So it's why I'm trying to play the game of "might as well" and trying to push through things. For ADHD specifically, the general recommendation is "excercise". When you dig deep into it though, while any excercise is good, the best type is "explosive" excercise. So training for a sport like squash, tennis, even soccer. Things where you need to get the whole body able to "explode" into a different direction change. They've found with explosive sports, (I can't think of the proper term they have for it) that it actually makes the brain grow and become bigger in specific areas. The areas where ADHD causes those parts of the brain to be smaller than normal! But definitely, trying to push myself, and break those bounds mate, and get healthier!

      Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
