Hey guys,

Thinking of selling my RB25 i have built to get myself some cash, originally i got this motor out of an R33 in pretty good condition, but to get it up to really good condition i had the head reco'd at the cost of around $600 which included new inlet valve guides and stem seals, the exhaust guides had already been done, while the head was apart i also cleaned up the unnecessary lumps in the exhaust ports.

It all went back together with the following parts:

Performance Springs valve springs and retainers - $300

Camtech 272 Duration, 9mm lift cams - $1200

Tomei adjustable Cam Gears - $300 (not 100% sure i want to sell the cam gears yet)

ARP Head Studs - $150

New Durapro VRS Gasket Kit - $400

ACL Race Series big end bearings - $70

Also to go with this engine is a non-genuine Greddy Front facing plenum which i have gasket matched the runners to the head myself (needed doing really badly), and i have a billet fuel rail kit for this which allows the use of top feed injectors.

Together these cost around $500 and for the right price i can include some GTR Injectors aswell.

It also has a second hand Stainless highmount turbo manifold and Turbosmart 38mm Gate if needed, valued at around $500 for both items together.

As the engine sits it is currently a bare long motor, ready to have manifolds and accessories bolted on and put into use.

All up including the original price of the engine this setup owes me around $4500 but im willing to sell it for alot less than that so i thought i would see what kind of interest i get.

I can also throw in another r33 turbo bottom end with 1 melted piston for parts...

Also i should add that these cams are to suit an RB20 which eliminates the VCT, so this setup will drop straight into an R32 GTS-T using existing coilpacks, crank angle sensor, etc..

Or alternatively it would still drop into an R33 with minimal alterations.

I will try and upload some photos of the engine at some point.

Reason for sale is i sold the 32 GTS-T i built this for.

For any questions contact me on here or SMS me on 0408 117 171.

Cheers, Daniel.

Here are some pics of the build :)

The comparison photo of the 2 cam lobes is one of the 272's and a stock rb25 cam.

Also the turbo pictured has been sold and is not included.

May consider swaps and also may consider seperating the head from the block if someone is looking to build a forged motor and needs a head to put on it, this would also be a good head for a 25/30 build having no vct and bigger cams to help with flow for the extra capacity in the bottom end :)

with the cams, springs, gears and covers, it owes me around $2500 but would take $1800, the cams alone were $1200, would be happy to keep the cam gears and cam covers and sell it for $1500

    • My crystal ball says that when they replaced the pads, they didn't replace all of the brake hardware (could be a missing shim, pin, spring, etc).  Finding a low dust pad should be very easy. Have a google for things like, low dust / soft pad compound / easy on rotors. Your dust primarily comes from the rotors getting eaten up by the pads. 
    • I think old mate is going to continue to hold out for awhile at that price
    • OBD1 is a catch-all term for pre-OBD2 which could have basically any connector design and protocol. I really don't understand this attitude against using data logging for issues that can be multi-causal and subtle. A no-start situation or something like that sure the scan tool does nothing but if it runs like shit it can often be a sensor issue. When a friend of mine reliably had issues with his N54 not able to stay running eventually I narrowed down the issue to a faulty fuel pressure sensor. Only way I could do that was a scan tool to look at the fuel rail pressure and see shadow codes for fuel pressure. Then check against a pressure gauge. Is reflexively firing up the data logger probably a bad habit? I guess, it can encourage people to not listen/observe but on these old OBD1 cars just taking a log really doesn't do anything by itself. You still have to synthesize everything you know and think about what it all means.

    • Yeah saw that video on YouTube. But he got a R grade (repaired) high mileage model and proudly advertised the fact it was super cheap and no doubt with issues. I wouldn't be going the cheap and nasty route.
