Main reason for keeping the RB25 was to see what it could do.Certainly here in the Uk & Europe anyone who wants big horsepower in their GTST's go for the RB26 transplant.
I can understand that as it's proven, reliable & pretty simple to do.What really attracted us to keep the RB25 was partly wanting to see what it could withstand & also knowing that it revs a lot better & higher than the RB26.So far (touch wood) the engine has not missed a beat despite the boost be cranked up on the dyno
Couple of dyno vids below (a few months old now taken on the night before the cars 1st ever outing - 650 bhp at the hubs at 1. 8 bar & no nos)

In terms of the final spec for 2006 - I'll update the website over the next few weeks.
The RB25 is a seriously strong block - we have only needed to change the head gasket/studs once this season & the JUN internals look in fantastic cond after a hard year. The HKS T51 Spl turbo is superb & I can only recommend it to anyone else thinking of building a big bhp skyline - probably not for track use (T40z is more track suited)

did not mean to come off as a jerk if it sounded like it. By the way that beast is sexy!
