RB25DET Z31 Walk Around

[innie721]

rb25's look so much better without the intake going across the top..

[whoismOe2]

what wheels are those man? My 86 is just about complete except for wheels! those look great.

[JayteePhandango]

Wow I never knew the RB25 was so much smaller than the VG30DE from the Z32's.

50 less horsepower in a RB25 but much more reliable? I LOVE IT! :)

[Kizunin]

I'm about to buy a 1988 Nissan 300zx with new everything and Eibach Suspension, rebuilt motor/turbo/rear.....Are these cars worth it? and how fast are they ? =/ help...lol i dont want to buy it and regret =S

[j1mbOZ31]

@Kizunin Nice i have a 88 N/A Z31 i wish i could've gotten a turbo. I think these cars are worth it, my car has over 200k on the original motor and its pretty much stock beside my intake. As long as you're getting it for a decent price i dont think you will regret it plus its rebuilt and with suspension, thats a plus. I think these cars have great potential, even with the stock motor you can have a power house under the hood.

[grocer3]

@Kizunin my dad has a stock 84 turbo version and its fuckin epic you wont regret it unless the people that rebuilt the engine didnt do it right

[KIKOandFRIENDS1]

damn i want an rb25 on my 88...so jealous bro



[MrEghatch123]

NOW THATS FUCKING JDM !!!!!!!!!

[MrEghatch123]

I WANT TO BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

[JayteePhandango]

You have a beautiful Z31 my friend.

That's why there are NO DISLIKES. haha let me add another like to it.

[jkonchus1]

Hey brother, I have an 87 turbo, could you email me some intercooler, piping and turbo location and setup ideas. Im still pushing the vg30det motor. I like your setup and the RB25.

[sidewayznut2009]

Very nice build love the way you cleaned up the engine bay and flared the fenders.

[TucoRamirez2]

I like everything about the car except the body kit - especially the rear of it. But it's your car. My rating: Without the body kit a 10/10. With it 8/10.

[j1mbOZ31]

insane! how do you pass smog? lol

[drift18Japan]

@j1mbOZ31 easy illegal smog its everywere mexicans do it

[j1mbOZ31]

@drift18Japan lol i like your style XP

[paccord2000]

very nice great looking car man!!

[tt300zxkid]

absolutely gorgeous!

[allturbo16]

So sick

[IgaNinja91]

Where can I find the info on the net to do this engine swap on a 300zx Z31?

[IgaNinja91]

whats the HP rating on that RB25DET versus the VG30DET?

[EvilTwerp45]

@IgaNinja91 i think rb26 has 500 stock where as vg30 only has about 167 i THINK. 

[itsguyguy]

@EvilTwerp45 Do some research before you start posting up nonsense.

[EvilTwerp45]

@itsguyguy how about you shut up. I clearly stated "I THINK" but i guess you are incapable of reading. I am very sorry for you. My VG30e has about 180, simply because i did stuff to it. regular is AROUND 167 NONTURBO, with a turbo, its about 205. as for the RB26, i honestly dont know. oh, and i dont see a reply to lgaNinja91's question from you, do I? NO. now, please shut up

[Sir420247]

@EvilTwerp45 Rb26dett has around 280-300hp stock and the VG30et in the us was 205 in euro form had 241

[albizil]

It's clean.



[Dk1N]

Wasn't the ZX300 a transformer toy back in the day ?? Nice ride, very clean.

[dflowers500]

Good Job

[KevinTheVillian]

This is truly an amazing ride :D i was literally thinkin of doin the skyline swap for a 84 im plannin on buying. why did you choose the RB25 instead of the RB26? and was there any major problems when swapping?

[dvs9857]

im think about swappin a rb into my 87 z i live in pa was it easy i heard they mount right up to stock mounts a had a buddy that did one

[siliconsurf]

the z31 is a piece of shit

[ManRossDamn]

@siliconsurf Are you mad your car sucks more ass?

[siliconsurf]

@ManRossDamn bleh, ghetto looking.. I'd smoke it if I upgrade my car.

[ManRossDamn]

@siliconsurf

Troll more son?

It doesn't matter.

Go race "1SickZ".

His fully street legal Z31 will whoop your ass.



[siliconsurf]

@ManRossDamn Like I said, if I supe up my car, I'd whoop his sorry ass. Fuck off, SON.

[ctthenerd]

@ManRossDamn Too bad 1SickZ doesn't have his car anymore, he sold the body to badboyZ31, who then scrapped it after taking the suspension and fuel cell out of it. In other words, nobody will ever race 1SickZ's car because there is no car.

[brandonBRKDWN]

@siliconsurf

not hah what do yo have dawg

[ctthenerd]

@siliconsurf Z31s are so shitty because Lexus IS350s are such hot shit....yeah after you swap in a 2JZ. Wait! Someone did that to a Z31!

[Dramier]

Oh god this makes me miss mine so bad. Still kicking myself. So unless there's another one, yours is the only one in the US since mine is no longer in existence. Your swap is much cleaner and nicer than mine was, congrats!

[THEZDRIFTER1]

Not bad... That's what I would like to pit in my Z

[brandonBRKDWN]

this is cool, im nowhere no the financial stability you are though haha, im just rebuilding a vg30e ill bore it out a little (maybe) and runa t3/t4 hybrid turbo. ill be happy with that

[roudin69]

it looks amazing, dosent look like an older model at all, this is what we should all strive to do with our zs they deserve nothing less

[bsbllptch12]

Coming from a fellow Z31 owner, probably the sickest Z ive ever seen! Very nice, and very clean!

[TheVlvfan]

this makes me want to put a v8 in one. it would be just as fast and alot cheaper.

[Frankiefresh1000]

nice work man

[RespectTheBoxx]

That's a fucking amazing car

[Gasoline1987]

thats freaken insane omg

[ZealotFromHell]

I'm currently saving my money to do a rb26dett swap in my z31. Going to be bad fucking ass.

[raxes32]

that is fucking badass!

[gsxrboi1000]

pure sex

[stuie334]

My Buddy nick is going to have the first RB25 z31 in canada.!!!!

[Bobcat30010]

Wow, Very nice Job with this car dude, she sounds badass =D

[austo805]

what kind of body kit is that



[DivaxoxStarr]

@austo805 1988 300zx lol

[IgaNinja91]

What mods did you have to do to get the RB engine in? Custom engine mounts,ect?

[altimatum]

I'm thinking about doing an RB swap into my 86 300zx actually. The issue I see is that hood space seems to be a concern despite the lower displacement of the engine...any particular tips you have regarding drivetrain, transmission, or anything else?

[RichRiverz]

what body kit is that?

[Eroc115]

what year z is that?88?

[LunarShroud]

@Eroc115 it's pre-87. you can tell by the taillights and headlights. they changed in 87.

[Eroc115]

@LunarShroud I wasn't sure, cause i have an 86 and it looks almost the same other than the bumpers. So its an 86 then huh? :) i wonder how much work is involved with the swap?

[ThisMonky300ZX]

@Eroc115 looks like an 86

[ddavid993]

nice, where can i get thiss kit???

[dynobot7]

man, well done. def respect!

[hugenoodles]

omg .........

[gillieman760]

very nice dude! i didnt think much of the z31. you made me think twice. awesome job!!! NISSANS RULE

[BiGfAtCaN]

ive seen this car on google such a nise car you custom make those side skirts?

[mastalinksta]

mate that is one sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet 31, very nice !!!!

[twinturbo1995]

reminds me of the MK3 supra

[MrJDM1990]

Nice.

[bb707]

is there a engine mount kit for it?

[Feydfeydfeyd]

damn shes pretty

[onthefoamball]

I remember when you bought this Z and we picked it up. its come a long way since then. RESPECT

[SloppyGoat]

That is definitely one of the baddest looking Z31's I've ever seen! Sweet!!! Very clean and original. Beautiful conversion!

[Sackajawiiia]

that car is a work of art

[dsportnissan]

that engine and engine bay are immaculate!! damn nice

[shaikhdishgan1]

verey nice iam hot hatch driver (GTI -130TC -TYPE R......) but this car is realy nice .

[paulkimlax]

BRAVO!

i have a 5 speed 88 z31(n/a) in the garage. It's not running right now, but thinking of swapping sr20det or Z32 TT.

[SusanSally88]

@paulkimlax Both of those are terrible ideas. Why would you put a lower displacement motor with -2 cylinders in a car? And Z32 motors are hard to swap. Stick with the singlecam VG. They make gooooood power. Boost your NA one and you should be good to about 400

[mr26s1]

i love the z31 u dnt see ppl restoring these car and u did the rb25 swap, hope mine can look as good as this on.

[Pariah235mw]

I love how everyone's ignoring that gorgeous engine and just asking about the rims...sigh...kids.

[NismoS13King]

damn thats a nice z31

[MightyElephant]

what size rims are those? anyone? they look like 19's

[MrOrosco93]

What kind of rims are those?

[vegas012]

what kit is that? and where could i order a kit online. thanks

[NotMLG]

also where did u get that clean ass engine? how many miles?

[NotMLG]

hey man i want to move my house a few states west, think u can hitch your car up to it and jerk it off the foundation please?

[nlogick]

shes fucking gorgous

[Werox420]

I like the rims..i want some of those on my z31 xD.. what rims are they?

[frogprince2k9]

How hard was the swap since some of them came w/ the RB20? Thinking of doing the samething

[elijahinky]

sounds like the idle is set too high unless you just started it.....

[fireboot100]

nice work!

[3OOOGTVR4]

That is CLEAN

[Swattech45]

mmmmmmhmmm yes sexy engine... roughly how hard is the install if you already have the engine?

[lookielooo]

what are the rim specs on your car. i have a z and have looked at alot of rims. but the basic star syle i like. check mine out and rate please. mine is nice but i have a long way to go compared to yours.

[MrKeppiK]

Love the Z. What front lip is that?

[xxSkyxStrifexx]

i know you have probley been gang-banged with questions about your amazingly beautiful car, but i have a few if you dont mind. #1: were did you get the engine? #2: were did you get the body kit? #3: how hard was the swap? thats pretty much it. please please please respond, ive been saving my money for so long and i cant find this engine anywere or the body kit.

[dogcrick]

motor is found in several jdm nissans, such as a skyline gtst I believe. The gtr's came with rb26's Preety sure the rb25 is the gtst

[mustowe]

@dogcrick it could be a rb 30 or a rb20 or rb 26 they come in Nissan skylines

[TheMainMan318]

@xxSkyxStrifexx look on ebay, theres a couple

[maddox0521]

hi whats the size of rim and tires? also how much drop you did to the car? thanks

[MrCALICOKEVON]

my 98 altima sounds the same with a straight pip that shit was crazy i kill a prelude with it the only car that woop my was a 89 supra

[ego08owner23]

hey if anyone cold let me know what kind of rims are those and where i can find them to purchase please i need these :) thanks

[importfan247]

clean man

[srbijaalen]

mate you should of put a vg30dett in it  stay a fairlady z fuk rb25

[pompa1984]

This is it! :-) the most amazing z31 i've ever seen :-)

[jj300zx1]

can somebody tell me wat turbo does a 1985 300zx has, is it a t3 or t25

[TheLeeno]

@jj300zx1 T3 type unless its an auto I believe.

[ctthenerd]

@TheLeeno transmission has nothing to do with what turbo is on a Z31 it's based entirely on year.

[TheLeeno]

@ctthenerd I was talking about the turbo I believe, I used to own a 86 turbo z31, the trans is a T5 at least in my year, pretty sure most of the manuals are the same, I thought maybe the automatic trans turbo had a differnt turbo than the T3 turbo found in the 5 speeds....

[ctthenerd]

@TheLeeno Nope, T25 is 88-89 with either transmission. 85-87 (and 280ZX Turbos) use a T3

[TheLeeno]

@ctthenerd Thats right now I remember reading that somewhere, I was thinking of dsm's I guess cause the manuals come with a 14b turbo and the autos come with a t25.

[TheLeeno]

@ctthenerd Thats right now I remember reading that somewhere, I was thinking of dsm's I guess cause the manuals come with a 14b turbo and the autos come with a t25. Also I think 84' was the first year for 300zx not positive though.

[ctthenerd]

T3, T25 was 88-89 (very low production years just FYI, 89s are RARE)

[FLAZH007]

What type of rims are those?

[EnricoZulu]

i want that in my z.what did it cost?

[NorthwestShredsesh]

I don't like imports but I respect this car's uniqueness. I bet those rice burner honda's on the highway who always want to race there 112 horse power vtec fwd pieces of shit dont know what they are even in for when you stomp on it. because at idle its hard to judge whats under there. 5 stars from an american muscle guy...

[FLAZH007]

And the bad part is Hondas arent bad cars.....its really just the larg amout of people that turn them into a POS!They dont respect the car for what it is and they then try to make it into something its not and will never be.

[monochrome83]

@FLAZH007 There's nothing wrong with modding them, different cars for different people. It's the ones who try to fake it that makes them look bad. There are some bad-ass Honda's out there, built by people who really know their shit, but you have to get through all the stereo-typical assholes to find them...

[raxes32]

dam, u kick ass man, I want to put an rb in my Z, did u install it yourself?

[jamaicanlovrboy]

[XxVonGxX16]

[drunknstar87]

[XxVonGxX16]

[SupraWes]

That is slammed for a Z31 probably has very little suspension travel as it is.

[XxVonGxX16]

hmmm ohhh ok

[billbo2cool]

Dont care to much about the engine although it would be nice but the car is amazing looking.

[deezomaxima]

If anything is to care about is the engine. Thing is a beast.

[dogcrick]

Fucking SICK! I wanna rbz32 so bad!

[turbohusque]

Awesomesauce and a half, I truly appreciate the work and effort, and the style.....but....the broom handle hood prop has to go. LOL

My car was like that for YEARS until I finally got sick of it and hit up Motorsport for a couple replacement shocks.

[Swattech45]

BEAUTIFUL im jealous... how hard was it to put a RB25det into your car? did you have a engine mount kit?

[jsdhesmith5]

Beautifull car!

[thedothedew]

More than two lol, mechanic here working on my Z drives one.

[curls300zx]

[MEXICANOG56]

[lz31lJL]

very clean car. love what you did to it. top to bottom. its nice. now we just need a good video of you racing it at a track or something. inside car view and outside would be a plus. =)

[6129golf]

[elijahinky]

quit being a hate-r....Golfs are slow..volkswagen really nailed the name calling it a golf didnt they?? Golf being like the slowest game ever and all

[johnny88z31]

[01jcgc]

Thats the best looking z31 ive seen so far. what color is that,,,.. im thinking of painting my like that

[86nismo]

yeah i wanna know what body kit that is too, its sick

[JKBQUICK]

NEEDS A 350 SMALL BLOCK

[mrZdude]

There are more than 2 RB25 Z31s in the US.

[KhmerJokester]

I'm pretty sure it's an 86. I don't know z cars that much but I think the 86 compared to the earlier years had the wider fenders and a spoiler with no hood scoop as opposed to the older ones that either had both, or didn't have any depending if it was turbo or not. That is my educated guess though. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[calikidzx]

what year is this

[ctthenerd]

@calikidzx Definitely an 86. Fenders changed in 86 and taillights in 87. It has the old style lights and new fenders.

[calikidzx]

yo dose eny one no what year this z31 is its ither a 84 or a 86

[colourbarsdjr]

A lot cleaner bay than the stock VG30ET.

[Myers1987]

what body kit is that?

[nismochildzx]

yeah really nice!! rd motars look good in pretty much anything!!!

[slownrusty]

Joe - Saw your car at MSA and love it. Sorry that you are selling it, wish I had the fund$ to buy it.

[rarelyloggedon]

[boooyweed]

[RustyHampster]

[QuagmireZ31]

Nice, I'm going for an RB25 next :-)

[Jugwalker]

If I had 10gs laying around, I would definitely buy that beast.

[racinjitter]

Nice, did anyone ever belly up and buy it?

[anime891]

Wow dood, so fucking nice.
