What's the colour? How many Km's?

Were you the first owner?

If your not willing to post pics don't expect to sell it fast.

Pretty sure he's not trying to sell it mate or it would be posted in the for sale section not the forced induction section asking for advice...

once he finds out the expense of the band-aids, screw drivers, duct tape, deodorant and WD-40

he'll be compelled to sell.

I have just finished my R32 Rb26 into R33 gtst, was good fun, lots of tears and didnt have the convenience of a half cut. I had to use Rb25 engine mounting brackets, might need those not sure if they are compatible with xmember? I know a guy in brissy who did my loom, send it to him he sends back modified to work, he is good and cheap BH_SLO32 on here. I definately agree with the above crank collar or atleast a new oil pump and check the collar. I just rebuilt.

I'm doing a simular thing tho into a BMW I just changed the head gasket and re dis water pump just a general maiternance service I didn't bother with oil pump and it all looks good but I had the luck to see motor running before being removed. A new set of bearings wouldn't hurt either

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
