There the price of the cert inspection and everyone needs driveshaft loop(s) these days and they may (or may not) consider you need upgraded brakes.

25DE are usually $500 - $1000

Here's a neo engine for a little more: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/engines/auction-455813606.htm

With the brakes would I just need front 4 pots or front and rear upgrade?

Stock 25DE maybe no upgrade needed TBH.

Anyone know where theres a relatively cheap 25 up for sale? Prefer bop ir close. in about 2 months? Or alternately a good low kms 20 even?

You would probably get away with your stock brakes with up graded pads and fresh fluid, if you are wanting to go to bigger calipers and rotors you could always use R33 GTS25 front calipers and rotors, the front calipers are 2 pot, and the rotors are 280mm diameter and 26mm thick. The best thing about them is they are 4 stud so are fairly easy to fit.

I didn't have to have the brakes done when I went from a 20DE to a 30DE. Changing your brakes calipers and rotors maybe require a cert though.
Not sure I woiuld bother certing the 25DE engine. They would never know so long as you use the 20 coil cover.

brakes dont have to be done on gts unless your going to a 25det 26dett or 30det(t) but then again it all depends on your certifier
gts brakes are roughly the same size as a laurel, ceferio 20det

^This, it's not like you're going to turbo, as above just swap over all the covers:)

yeh insurance might not pay out because it had an un-certed engine in it. but i guess it depends on the situation.
for the record i never had to upgrade my brakes when changing to a 25det but keep in mind this was from a 25de which i think come stock with bigger brakes than the 20de so i guess the certifier thought they were allgood. never had any stopping issues either using those brakes.

yea the 25de are like 15mm bigger and usally 2pot(r33 anyway), but if your car can stop with a 20de im sure it will be fine with any rb motor

any way isn't brake size meant to suit the weight of the car not the power?
