How much power and so on do you want?

If you are looking for a good solid base to make 260-290rwkw from without opening the motor. RB25 is the choice.

If you want to make over 300rwkw, plany to rebuild and so on, the RB26 is the better 'base' to start with.

dude...i dont have that kind of money to make the skyline a monster. 260-290KW is alright for me. Ill probably go rb25det s2 then. After i get that done, ill throw in a aftermarket turbo of some sorts. I should easily reach 200rwkw...you think?

why a NEO vs a standard RB25 when you're going to mod it anyway? I admit the NEO has much better fuel economy in stock form, but they seem to be more tempermental than the normal RB25, especially when it comes to strange things like spark plugs :S

What do you ultimately want to do with the car?

IMO an RB25DET NEO is better than an RB26DETT for a moderately tuned street car. For a serious track car, RB26 has all the performance parts readily available to make big power.

i plan to make it a quick street tuner, since its my only car. After im done with the engine, i'll probably start working on the forced induction, then the internals. Looks come last...

RB26= ITBs= throttle response. run N1 turbos for an undetectable 300rwkw. RB25 cant have an undetectable 300rwkw turbo :P

RB25 will be fine and if you get bored of it you can always pick up an RB30 bottom end.

So an Rb25 with a 3071/3076, or an RB30 bottom end is going to be EPA legal/cop friendly? an engineered RB26 swap would be... just because your laws arent as tight as ours now, doesnt mean they wont be in future...

I though that depending on the year of the R32 GTST you would be able to get an RB30 block that could be engineered as well as it would be newer or more current.

Also if a car is engineered in the past and the rules change the car is still legal due to the previous certification.

the need for it to be epa legal / cop friendly may also depend on your driving style and choice of location too.

Nissan never made a 25/30 - therefore you cannot have one without emissions testing in some states.

Other states it is basically impossible (vic), to ever have it approved.

A 3ltr conversion, on its own merits, is against ADR's from the start without the above.

Can't you get about 240rwkw out of a 26 with just a bit more boost?

P.S. my 25/30 is legal :yes: and with the new IM240 testing they are trying to implement here, means I should be able to get the high mounted, externally gated GT35R passed too aslong as it passes emissions testing :cool:

True, I had sort of forgotten about highflows as my current car has a HKS lowmount :D

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
