What to change/replace during an RB swap? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey, I am planning on ordering an RB25 and I want to know if these are some good things to replace and change while doing the swap. Is there anything not listed I should replace?
I have comments next to the parts.
Thanks

Power Enterprise Timing Belt
Nismo Thermostat
Greddy Multi-Metal Headgasket 1.0 (maybe, what do you think?)
OEM Nissan RB25DET Oil Pan (I hear this is good to replace)
OEM Water Pump (not N1)
OEM Oil Pump

BTW: I also want to get an Earl's oil filter relocator like this. Anyone know if these are any good?

replace the rear main seal. you dont want to have to change that after the motors in the car. basically change anything that would be a total pita to change once the motor and tranny are already in the car. with in reason of course. as for the oil filter relocation kit. an oil filter relocation kit is a oil filter relocation kit is a oil filter relocation kit....kinda hard to mess up.

yea, I'm gonna use oem or K&N for the oil filter.
So is whats on the list good enough? I mean unless the parts on the motor are OK I wont buy them all but for what it is how is that, anything else that should be changed?

valve cover gasket, and the spark plug well gaskets, spark plugs, front and rear main seals, clutch would be a good idea, but not nessicary, basically every gasket, take the oil pan off and check te pump and pound out the pan if nessicary, radiator hoses, and probably more I just cant think of them right now.
