Ah, fresh morning from a good night's sleep at the hotel, and I’m so pumped up to doing engine install. I arrive workshop, and all crew are ready. The parts are lays and tidy ready for Monday for final finishing the engine. The engine, I choose; RB25DE long block bottom end, and RB26DETT cylinder head that has modified, I paid 700V$ toward to my friend.
One of SLP crews shown me, about his 350Z fully transmission kit for R33/RB engine. He said… SLP Crew: Here, 350Z transmission, and custom lightweight propshaft. Thought, you’re may want to for your R33? Me: That nice, so it have not OEM slave cylinder?! SLP Crew: Yes, that ZSpeed Heavy Duty Clutch Slave Cylinder, work best for aftermarket clutchs. Me: That perfect, are you selling or? SLP Crew: No, no. It gift for you, I don’t need money. Me: Oh thanks, that really kind for you. SLP Crew: Trust me, it will be going very well. Have bolted it to my R33 with RB26DETT before but I change the plan, i thought why not to give you. This unit should be straight forward install. Me: Thanks, shall we install it into RB25! We bolted flywheel, clutch and transmission into RB25. I have some boxes to need before putting the engine inside the R33. I swapped OEM pulley to billet lightweight pulley, and OEM thermostat was replaced by Mishimoto Performance Thermostat. We did make sure everything good tightened and torqued up, and the belt are perfect tight. We have been checking the electrical connection, make sure it is matched plugs, and I remove fuel tank, and give 100% cleaned and fitted Nismo high flow fuel pump. The battery has been moved to the trunk area. We doing RB25 fitted into engine bay, and connected everything. We was smiles, and I’m impressed gold cam cover, in fact gold cam over are rare, quite lucky I am. Before, we are finishing, the propshaft and fuel tank now fitted, also ECU are swapped to Nistune ECU, it allowing to make more re-mappable. We are given a high five and bro fisted, and we agreed to finish off at monday, so I am allowing the SLP crews having good time at weekend. Here snap of engine progressing, and full list of spec.  Now, the weekend is coming and we having personally fun time. Finish off at Monday.  Wallet; Before total price ~ 5,305 V$ Tranmission kits ~ FREE Thermostat ~ -50 V$ Pulleys ~ - 70 V$ Fuel Pump ~ - 500 V$ After total price ~ 4685 V$ |
