Nice list,it looks complete.I'm partway thru an rb20 bottom end build,The wait on parts is what kills me...

U can find the headstuds and gasket set for wayyy cheaper if u shop around...Also u may need to buy a crank sprocket, sometimes they won't budge when ur trying to remove the oil pump and u end up damaging it.I've had to butcher my fair share... But u may get lucky and it will slide off like its suppose to...I've never been so lucky.

I rounded up on the prices, figured it would give me a more ball park figure with shipping and everything. Im looking for a dependable daily driver than I can easily boost if needed. im looking to get about 500 at full boost.

what do you guys think of this rebuild kit?http://hioctaneracing.com.au/e...d=348

add another $1000.00 for all the **** you don't think you will need. Trust me, always more than anticipated. Not to mention shipping prices too.

You can get a set of stock sized CP pistons from compulsivehp.com for about $790 I think. Plus he carries a lot of the ARP fasteners that you need, so it will save on shipping costs. And he's getting a line of valve springs from AUS soon too.

The intake and exhaust manifold gaskets come with the gasket rebuild kit.The front and rear main seals come with the gasket rebuild kit.The cam seals come with the gasket rebuild kit.

There's only one idler pulley.There's only one O2 sensor.

Why do you need a new oil pan? Yours crushed in too badly?

Water pump is nowhere near $300.Accessory belts will not cost $38 each. Jesus you could get like 3 sets for $38!Greddy intake you can get for less than $800 easily.Like you said there's a lot of fluff in the prices so you should have some room for unforseen costs too.

gt35r goes from 1250 to 1620 with a t4 hotside.. also depends on the housings you choose for some company's.

Oil pan, Darius is right. Mine was crushed to **** even had a small hole it in. I beat it back close to stock then welded the hole ****, and sprayed her black, looks good.

n1 pump should be around 200 ish.

ARP headstuds got those on ebay for 125 shipped

Tial wastegates Ebay, about 40 dollars cheaper than companies after shipping.

Pilot bushing? you should get that with your clutch, along with a T/O and allignment tool.

FMIC ebay as well. Mine was awesome and cost only 160 shipped after polishing and is very nice quality.

Ok Power FC doesn't have a D-Jetro for the RB25, are you perhaps using a RB26 ECU?

He still can use it, he just needs a 26 harness. That what my friend did.
