Hey all,

The time has come to sell my favourite motor, I love it to bits but its time to move on (getting into drifting, have an RB25DET lined up).

The good;

Rebuilt RB30e bottom end with RB25DE pistons and RB25DET oil pump (ACL rings and bearings, about 50,000km old).

Head is R33 RB25DET with VCT adapted running 255/8.3 surecam reground cams and Greddy adjustable exhaust cam gear.

Intake manifold is factory RB25DET with twin 60mm throttle bodies

Exhaust headers are stainless Fujitsubo Jasma large primary for RB25DE (roughly matched for peak power of current motor)

Flywheel is Billet Lightweight and clutch is VLT standard.

The Bad;

Engine is sad, something wrong in the top end (I think perhaps bent valve) blows a little bit of blue smoke on rev down and has a bit of a rattle

Also engine loves to rev and used to run an RB26DETT oil pump but cracked it (RB30e harmonics) I would recommend fitting a billet crank collar while engine is out.

Also clutch does struggle with the power (slips on gear change) would be wise to upgrade while engine is out.

This is ideal for someone keen to build one for themselves (save a fair bit of money), the bottom end is fine just needs a bit of work on the head, quoted $500 for a couple new valves, new stem seals fitted (which I can include) and a machine. As all the hard work is done (head modifications, new tensioner location etc).

Engine made 151kW at 6000rpm (peak torque at 5000rpm) with 2.25" press bent exhaust and stock headers on factor RB25DEt ECU and Injectors. Fitted 3" mandrel system and Fujitsubo headers (Which have 3" outlet) and it picked up heaps of top end, never had it back on the dyno but ran a 14.28 1/4 mile in a 1400kg+ car (R31 Ti) on factory street rims (15" & 205s).

If you were to put aftermarket management on this (haltec/microtec) and just run the TB's open (though it down include y) intake pipe the response would be great and there would be a pretty decent power increase (from tune) imo.

Price might seem high or low, I don’t know what its worth but splitting just head headers/cams/intake/flywheel I could get make more than that (but don’t particularly want to wreck the motor, otherwise I might fix head and decomp it then turbo but would be a shame).

Happy to post at buyer expense.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
