As some of you know i bought a rb25det not too long ago. Well it arrived late last year and we finally got around to pulling it apart to see if anything was wrong with it. To find a ****load of things wrong.
The car it was in had been in a car crash and the sump was smashed up, squashing oil lines etc.
Number 5 cylinder was not going, it had a non-turbo water pump on it, in japan they sprayed some non-corrosive **** on it, which got into everything and stuffed a few things up. Gearbox, very hard to get into 3rd and 4th, once in you could not move the shaft at all. And a few other bits and pieces which i will be finding out within a day. I'm getting my mechanic who i know to write a report to what he found and take pictures and am going to email the guy these pictures and going to ring him and try get a refund for a completly faulty engine and gearbox.
*crosses fingers things go well*
And among this i'm going to sell my vl calais after all this is over. I cant be bothered anymore going through hassle finding another engine so im just going to look for another jappa. If anyone may be keen on my car PM me. Here's a few details
