Joe Nash Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 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.

boiracer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357490-outer-northside-aspley-to-caboolture/page/47/#findComment-6062593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiracer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357490-outer-northside-aspley-to-caboolture/page/47/#findComment-6062594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nash Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357490-outer-northside-aspley-to-caboolture/page/47/#findComment-6063813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nash Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357490-outer-northside-aspley-to-caboolture/page/47/#findComment-6064375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357490-outer-northside-aspley-to-caboolture/page/47/#findComment-6070447 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nash Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/357490-outer-northside-aspley-to-caboolture/page/47/#findComment-6070656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
