The majority of the weight in a car is in the Engine and Gearbox so i think the wngine would way more than that...

thats what i used to think, but rb2x engines/gearboxes arent that heavy

i did just say the engine itself, not all the other bits around it

Toll wont send for you unless you are a business or have an abn. I've got stuff from melbourne to here through pack'n'send, I had to sell my left testicle on the black market just to get my parts. I was told that the thing goes on size, then they dertermin the cubic weight from the lenght x width x diameter then charge you by weight, thats why mine was so expensive to send because it was a big box.

i got charged $25 for a wooden crate...then sent a diff off to sydney. Cost $113 through pack and send. Then i had a diff sent back (in same crate i paid $25 for) cost $108 to return. I got a call to say my package had arrived, only to find pack and send had opened it, removed its contents, then gave me the diff, but kept the $25 wooden crate i paid for.....

Pack and send are the biggest rip off mail tampering f*k heads....go with TNT

R33 gtr engine , gearbox and accesories including inlet + exhaust manifolds , starter, alt and turbos , as i pulled it off the car weighs 330 kg . ( not including air cond pump or power steer pump , they stay on the car )

gearbox on its own including the little driveshaft 90 kg .

an rb 25 will be less than 240 kg cause you don't have 2 turbos and no diff in the sump .

i would say about 200 kg depending on what accesories you include .

gtr sump weighs 29 kg rb 25 will be a lot less maybe 10 kg the extra turbo will be like 10 -15 kg as well .

Whilst pack n' send is indeed a rip, there isn't too many other options.. dnb organised to get my head delivered using Toll Ipsec, however they didn't secure it too well (and there wasn't too many options in terms of packing something like that :() and it was damaged slightly. They must have been flying around corners or something the whole way..

The price was about 1/2 of Pack 'n Rip however...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
