Outer Northside Aspley To Caboolture

[Joe Nash]

Hey everyone, i need some professional help and opinions on the following kit

http://www.spoolimports.com/spool-engine-rebuild-kits/nissan-rb25det-rebuild-kit

seems to be a nice cheap thing for a skyline, but being cheap, i'm a little sceptical about it.

[mattis96]

why not just do the rb30 bottom end? not alot of extra work for alot more improvement?

[Joe Nash]

because mate, i don't want to be removing the engine, i want to make sure it's going to be able to take power, but i don't want replace the engine

[boiracer]

Keen for the BBQ ash

does your engine need work joe?? either way you need to pull the engine out to put that rebuild kit thru it. line boring etc for the main bearings cant be done in car, and they are never just a bolt in thing. so your looking at a full rebuild to put that stuff in. not sure on the price tho man, never looked into it.

I cleaned up under my house today...finally, now i can bring my beetle home and somehow shimmy it in underneath at a 90 degree angle to the other cars...and the doors

[boiracer]

push it like a 200 series landcruiser thats run out of diesel on the gold coast highway...

so you gotta put an unlicensed 15 year old at the wheel to steer so the adults can push...

lol, this sounds like a whole lot of hard work, and a good laugh if i was driving past

[RandomHero83]

Why even bother, just go steal a commodore. oh wait don't, thats more embarassing.

btw, for all the northerners (where ever to morayfield to scaboolture)

I will be holding a bbq at my place for a 'house warming shindig'

For all those guys ive met, and the ones i will soon are more then welcome to come over, food, drinks, clints singing voice.

Dates are yet to be organized, think of it as our first monthly meet and drink.

Since when did I sing?

[boiracer]

i dunno, but it could be amusing. drunken night you dont recall??

[RandomHero83]

Nah none of em have ever seen me pissed.

[Joe Nash]

bodo mate, i know the engine needs to be removed for the rebuild, however, i don't want to replace the engine, just do a forged rebuild to be able to take the power i want to put through it

[boiracer]

wel cool, if you can justify the price go for it, then MOAR PWR!!!

[Joe Nash]

yes well i want more power, and i can justify spend big dosh for a forged internals rebuild, but i want to see if this pack for $2000 is worth it or if it seems to good to be true

[Joe Nash]

looks like i might not be able to make it to the weekly meet up fellows, going away today, and am pretty sure i wont be back till late tomorrow night

Not worth doing at this point, waste of money until you have done stage 1 mods, Stage 2 is where you start doing things like this. The stock crank and internals are good for around 300 rwkw's you will have no real power gain from doing this without a tune and a few supporting mods.

you would get more out of flowing your head.

[boiracer]

not much interest for tonight then? ash? anyone?

all good Joe. next week at carseldine then aye?? might go see the westies again tomorrow night instead if anyone wants to join me?

[mumslayer]

Edit: tomorow tomorow? lol tomorow

Understandable mate, however, I'm looking at a rebuild for a few reasons, one, my engine has seen a rather large number of k's and as such think that a rebuild would be an idea for it, another reason is because I'm wanting to skip stage 1 upgrades and go straight to stage 2, which means a forged rebuild anyway, I might be wrong and I might be silly skipping stage 1 but to be honest, I have never seen the point for stage 1 mods

You guys play too much GT5

[Joe Nash]

You guys play too much GT5

na, played way to many NFS plus too much GT 1,2,3 & 5.

basically, if i'm going to be doing up my car, i don't want to start small and work my way up, i want to go to the top, as like smity42 said about GT5 this is the real world and we don't have any restrictions besides our wallet, so why bother starting small and going up, waste of money to me
