ok so ive got i f**ked head gasket. dont see a point in repairing for 2500 and still having a shitty bottom end. so ive decided to get another motor. with 55 000kms. wont say as to where im getting it done just yet...

the new rb25 will set me back 3500-3800 completely suplied and fitted does this sound right considering thats a full install and full clean of everything including the radiator. will still be using the same turbo thats in my car aswell as starter and water pump.

just wanted to know if this sounds any good or not as its a lot of money and have never had to do anything like this before

cheers Garth

Ditch the old water pump, does the "new" 25 come with a waranty? if so then that is a reasonable price

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't really know general street pads too well, but there is no reason you can't get a low dust, long wearing, no squeal pad that works for those calipers at a reasonable price....they would just be a low end to medium price daily style pad.  If new pads don't have much bite or they loose it over time, it is probably just the pad glazing up which you can fix by giving them a good thrashing every now and then (or get the mechanic to deglaze them at next service) Track or semi track pads are where you have to put up with excessive dust (and potentially squealing as a side effect of that) in return for good bite and performance when very hot. Street pads have nothing like that sort of punishment, even long downhills with the brakes on are easier than a track session

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      lol yeah I'll check that, reminds me of the LDV thread!  I don't think that is the problem here, the starter doesn't even solenoid click. I did do a super quick test by removing the starter motor's power cable from the engine bay fuse box and the battery voltage was still 10v, so something super fishy is going on. BTW here is a R33 fuse box table I threw together from a few sources....use at own risk! R33 Fuse Box and Sources.xlsx

      Johnny's approach, throw all the Nissan electronics into the trash. Best thing I've done to my shit box, go DBW.

      Sounds like the JAX guys must have installed some really awful pads, are they BenShit/BenDicks pads by any chance?
