Post by **Nameless EJ6** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

Thanks for the replies.

Guys, that site I just posted has VERY good prices on clips shipped to the US. I would DEFINETELY email them asap.

http://www.japimports.com.au

After I converted their prices for a RB25DET R33 clip shipped to the US, it came out to 3,481.21 USD.

Here is the email I exchanged with them.

Quote »Hi

>Do you currently have R33 RB25DET clips in your stock? Or can you get one?

we have two available in stock, both 5 speed manual, one has 50000k's, the other 55000k's.

>I live in America, and I need one badly. But it has to be in good condition>with decent mileage.

see above, very low mileage and engines in excellent condition.

$4500 less the front brakes (thats Australian dollars, for conversion go to http://www.xe.net). With brakes its $4850

>Please let me know, and possibly how much it is.

shipping around $800AUD to nearest shipping port

Please advise (noet that we have sent several to the US so are experienced at international shipping)

cheers

>Thank you for your email. I am VERY interested. I have a couple more>questions though.

>-Can you get me a picture of it?

yes but will have to be Monday- its the weekend!

>-where is this clip coming from? Autstralia? Japan?

Australia, originally Japan but we have stocks here that we can dispatch from

>-How long does shipping take to the US?

around 40 days

>-How can I pay for it?

many ways... but direct deposit is the best where you TT our business bank account or alternatively paypal.com

>-Does the gauge cluster come with the clip?

yes

>-Is the interior harness intact?

ie dash harness??? yes

Please advise, I have one left at this stage and have three other current email enquiries, first in, best dressed!

-- Regards

Brad HostDirectorDealer Principal[/quote]Better talk to them. They also specialize in skylines and have many parts available..

I couldn't believe I had found someone that had them in stock. I would have purchased it if I hadn't found a complete swap earlier that day of which I already put a deposit on. Oh well.

Contact them guys.. I really want to help those who are looking for them. Better make it quick if you do though, because their last one might be sold already. And they said they can get pics!!

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

I will also ship to the us but I dont do clips I only do motors and looms and gear boxes I dont sell on promises and will provide photos with engine numbers etc. also I can ship replacement parts like timing belts oil and water pumps but dont hassle me with wish full thinking If your serious I will deliver btw same shipping costs as quoted may be less I ship fob which means you pay for shipping at your end at cost.I do this and I also import cars to Australia if your interested drop me a mailremember if your on the east coast or near the gulf of mexico the costs get pretty high shipping wise.cheersmeggala

NCblack where is japan direct? i am in raleigh and it would be good to get a clip from someone local!

Post by **NCblacks14** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

its about 2 miles from RDU in Raleigh here is a link to their phone number and addy http://www.usedengines.com/contact.aspbut I seriously doubt they are gonna have any sr20dets or even rb25dets in stock right now, there is always a waiting list when I go down there but they guys are real cool down there. you can AIM me at trich120 if you have anymore questions

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

yeah, i already called them, a guy said to call back in about a week to see if they have anything coming in, but like you said there is a waiting list! So.......we'll see!

Post by **NCblacks14** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

my aim is under my girls name: angelips17, I think!?!? but i am pretty sure that is correct, do you have a rb swap 240? i am not at home, i am at work so I can't use my aim right now! e-mail me though: [email protected]

Post by **vududoc** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

im working on getting 2 rb clips and hope to hear something soon:( all i got in was srclips...and that leaves me SOL for my next project coupe. drop me a line if anyone is iterested.....but i pretty sure that they are rb20's.

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

if they were rb25's we would be in business, but too bad! if they turn out to be rb25's give me a write at [email protected]!!! thanks

Post by **wmsadeq** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

You guys should check out http://www.japanesemotorsport.com.au/I was talking to them a couple months ago and they told me that they were getting a RB25DET soon. Don't know if they ever did get one in ... i changed my plans... email them because they were giving me about the same prices as the other guys. Just giving you a heads up on some other options cuz they are getting slimmer by the second!!

They have an tight *** shop car though... i think they sold it but it is a RB25DET with stock internals (well only a thicker head gasket to lower compression) and was putting down 600whp (when converted from kw)!!!

I hope this will help some of you in need of the skyline power!

Wail

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

yeah, i've seen their skyline before..... it is hot!! they don't have any rb25's only rb20's, but good site anyways!!

Post by **onyxsamurai** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, but I am considering an RB swap in my 93 240 Convertible (will be a daily driver with showcar looks and some good get up and go) so this of interest to me.

I found this as I was searching:

http://www.tpautomotive.com/vShopping/nissan.htm

I have no knowledge of this company, just wanted to pass along the info. If I find out more, I will pass it along.

I also found this company: http://www.rbmotoring.com. They actually import Skylines to the states and have a 240 project car. They do not specifically sell motors/clips at this point, but may have some useful info.

I am at least 6 mo from starting my project and I don't have the time to fully research these sites/companies. Hopefully someone closer to starting their project can research them and post on this site.

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

this is very expensive pricing just to let you know!! go with another company, i will give you a name tomorrow, i am too tipsy ot weirt anysmore! later

Post by **onyxsamurai** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

http://www.sr20development.com/JDMusedengine.html

They supposedly have 1 RB26 in stock.

Post by **dreamsOfSkylines** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

I don't know if afterdark actually has them in stock but they do the rb26 wtih a-31 crossmember and rb25 transmission for something like 6,500 i think. The rb25 transmission does bolt on, you just need to modify the oilpan. You would also need either a single turbo conversion or some custom steering links. McKinney says you can keep the twin turbos with they're mount kit. I don't know how much the kit is but probably expensive.

Post by **HotStufF** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

Hi there,I got few RB25 clips for the price of USD1,800.We includes intercooler and the piping, radiator, crossmember, uncut wiring hardness and ecu. we are looking forward for group buy because a cheaper shpping cost!

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

i want one!! i am buying next week, so...... send me specs to [email protected] (i.e. mileage, what's included, etc...!!) like i said, i am buying next week so i am SERIOUS!!!! i have been looking all around for one! thanks

Post by **mmerritt2** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

please read my email, thank you!

Post by **S13 Power** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

I would be down with a group buy if it is less than 2200 for the RB25. You guys sell the RB25 for 1800, then around 300-400 according to your website. correct? Unfotunetaly I would have the whole amount by the end of august.

Post by **HotStufF** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

Yupyup...this is true!We are doing some special promotion to satisfied you guys!Don worry, all you have to is to comfirm with us if you really want to purchase the engine from us. We will reserved it for you.=)

Post by **JonPowell** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

What company are you from, do you have a website I could look at?

Post by **HotStufF** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

We are from racinghard.com! check us out on http://www.racinghard.com

Post by **Bluefire** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

Do you guys have a shop in the US? If so where is it? Also say I buy a clip from you guys and there are some damaged parts. Are you willing to replace these parts free of charge? Or do we have to go through the hassle of shipping the damaged item back to you for inspection. Essentially what I am saying is, you guys have some really good pricing, but I am doubtful of your customer service.

Post by **JonPowell** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

What would shipping for the RB25DET clip from you guys to Troy NY, 12180 and how long do you think it would take to get here? Thanks,Jon Powell

Post by **HotStufF** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

First of all, if haven't got a shop in U.S yet but planning to get one in Miami, we do keep some of our stock in U.S. The products that we are selling are in good condition and sometimes also in low milleage. Like the engine that are reserved for mmerritt2. The warranty such as start up engine, compression test and turbo oil leak comes with it. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT PART IS DAMAGED. I can't say that our customer service is perfect but our company will try our best to give you a full satisfisfaction. We will be ready to answer all your question and solve it as soon as we can.=)

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 12:57 pm

HE SAID ABOUT 350-450 IN ANOTHER POST. AND BLUEFIRE I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND I THINK THEY ARE ALL ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE, SO I THINK IF YOU HAD ANY PROBLEMS YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT RESOLVED RATHER EASILY.

Jeeeze. WHO has RB25 clips now?!
