240Z_Master Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Alright, after saving up enough money on my 21 year old college budget, I have finally decided to go to the next step towards getting my beloved motor o mine. I am wondering if anyone of you know any shops, sources for RB25's (I plain out don't have money for the 26) located in Southern California, or overseas for that matter that won't cost me a load of money for shipping. I am looking to spend $2500 or less for a full front clip (which I have found so far). Primarily, if you know reliable sources, that would be best. -Quoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Why not go through vildini? There's was around that price if not less if I can remember quoc. And they have it right there at the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 No, they want $3000 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Battle Pope Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 http://www.jspecautosports.com/catalog_product.aspx?prod_id=51 This is the cheapest price for what you want (not a front clip but next best thing) that I've found. Shipping's gonna drive up the price some, but you see that in any condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VQ240Z Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 hey quoc, http://www.venus-auto.com has good prices but they'll have to ship it to you.... also, have you tried K Watanabe Corp? they probably have rb's for cheap.... theyre website is http://www.kwcengine.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKWIKZ Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 A friend of mine had a complete RB25det for sale in L.A. last time I spoke with him. He was asking only $2000 or so. I'll call him today to see if he still has it and I'll get back to you. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 If you could please check on that RB25 that would be sweet. K Watanabe only had RB26DETT's in stock. A little out of my budget. Flashoptions listed phone numbers on their website as Tel : 011-60-12-3896600 Fax : 011-603-42525225 So I have no idea if that's even anywhere close to English. ___NOTE Just contacted Flash Options, they are located in Japan.

AKWIKZ Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Sorry for the delay. My friend does still have the engine. E-mail me privately at b.dooley1@cox.net and I'll give you his contact info. I get a lot of mail, so please put "RB25" in the subject field so I don't delete it. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian[/quote'] Alright so I called the other Brian, he was gonna sell me the motor but doesn't really respond to my calls, or emails like he said, kinda laggy if you ask me. I don't want to spend $2000 on a deal like that. So anywho, anyone else know of a good motor source? I might call up CTJ Engines in Ontario.

240Z_Master Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 I bought it from Brian, who is a friend of another Brian floating around here somewhere that drives the KGC10. (Which again, thanks a lot!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffy Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Theres a website www.flashoptions.com[/url'] that sells front clips from a lot of jdm cars, nissans in particular and they are based here un the USA so you don't have to pay any importation tax. Hope this helps. NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM FLASH OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have had dozens of customers call us and tell us that they paid via Wire Transfer for their clips and are waiting anywhere from 6-12 months. Flash Options does not tell you that up front though. NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM FLASH OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not a bash on Flash Options, it is a warning to all potential buyers of their clips.

AK-Z Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah learned this from reading from other forums reviews, well thanks for setting me straight. I might do a SR swap myself. So you guys say go venus right? I might ask stony where he got his motor b/c he lives near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
