RB25? sounds nice.

I'd start with this brake kit, then you can use 2nd gen RX-7 brakes.

I don't know about the shipping, you'd have to contact them, but all the kits are made in-house there. The only non-US distributor is in Canada.

I like the RBs, and have never seen one in an old 7. It would be refreshing change from all the V8s being thrown in. A buddy of mine has an S13 with an RB20 and it really hauls ***.

I've got an all stock S2 that just died recently, so I'm in the process of putting in an NA S4 13B.

sounds like a fun project but I dont think the ca18 tranny would be up to that task for long, we swapped in a complete ca18 drive train into a usa spec 240sx a while back and the tranny was the weak link there. for your rb25 i would go with a 300zx (usa turbo model) trans. or somthing beefier like that, or even the trans that came with the orginal motor..

just a thought

Try here:

http://www.selectmaz.com.au/home.htm

Steve84GS TII on here is running the Selectmaz setup. They are not too far from you (Melbourne) and you wouldn't have to deal with international shipping, currency exchange, etc.

Shipping on the kit would run $37.00. That is a flat rate box price.
I can fit 14 more pounds in the box for the same $37.00.

Take a look, see if you need anything else.

Does the respeed offer a brake kit that would change the bolt pattern to a GSL-SE or 2nd gen 5 bolt?

Waiting on this KIT right now! and im excited. I have a 5 lug swap in the rear, but it IS NOT the respeed rear, it was doing by owner before me.

GOOD LUCK ON THIS PROJECT!
