What OEM parts to replace before putting the engine in?

[BlockHead]

I know I need to replace belts and waterpump, but what else is recommended, also I am not going to be able to pick this up at my local nissan dealer for a decent price am I? And I know ppl have been trying to source numbers that cross reference but is there a site that has these numbers or a sticky??? maybe we need a sticky with that.

maybe check the hoses?

I would attack the thermostat while you are there and maybe the timing belt tensioners. I know it will be a MAJOR PAIN to get at them with the motor installed and you dont want to pull it again just for that. Try getting ahold of RBMotoring.com for parts. I got a Nismo fuel regulator for a GREAT price from Jack.

I looked at RBmotoring, but most of the stuff is for an RB26, unless like the timing belt is the same for the RB25 and rb26.

Give them a call, they have suppliers in Japan that can get any Skyline parts....and MUCH cheaper than Motorex, at least in my experience so far.

the 20 and 25's timing belt is the same.
