hay i got 92 r32 with a rb20 which has a few problems that are realy gettin on my nervs :P. So i was wonder if how mush it would caost just to put a new and bigger motor in and how mush will it cost and whats the best place to get it done in perth. I know i will probly need to get a rb25 box but what is easyer i to put in to a r32 a rb26dett or a rb25det neo if possable. i do have over 10 gand saved will this be enuf.

or should i just keep trying to fix the rb20det and turn it ino a hurter.

10k should cover most items

a gt-r cut will set you back about 6-7 grand most likely

you can sell the gt-r box off for about a grand, a rb25 box will cost 12-1500 with a cross member etc

essentially its a drop in operation, you will need to modify the rb26 sump to clear the cross memeber in the gts-t as it has the diff built in, which can be removed..

ecu etc, you can stick with the stock rb26 ecu, the loom etc should plug into the r32 loom with very little modification, and when its all settled in and you want to play around, you can just rom the factory ecu...

should end up with a little bit of change from your ten k, depending on who you get to do it, if you do it yourself you save more..

main cost difference is in the front cut

25 cuts are a couple of k cheaper than the 26...

downside to the 25 is the ecu is not romable, but r32 gt-r ecu's are..

big upside to the R cut is it'd come with cooler and associated pipe work <hopefully> so its something extra you wouldn't need to pay up for when doing a 25 convo

otherwise they're much a muchness, big difference being the sump on the 25, unless you end up with a gts-4 cut somehow..

rb26 is sounding bit more intresting and i can use some parts from my rb20 like the after market coil packs and a few other things on the rb26. will probly not be able to do this my self though any suggests or recommations on were to get it done. hopefuly mite have enuf theft over for a respay. :P

you can use a 20 ecu on it, but you need something to actuate the vvt solenoid, which is mainly just an off off switch, but you need to do it at the right rpm, can be done tho..

iand, don't jump the gun on the re-spray just yet, do some ringing around, get some prices etc and work out your budget

a few places i can recomend to you, going north to south

tenagah

hyperdrive

speedworks

c-red

xspeed

they'd be the best places to start and ask a few questions about the costs etc and what they can do, places like hyperdrive, c-red and x-speed can also source cuts, or get in contact with mrmayhem or dsturbed as they too will also be able to source a cut for you

I just did the rb26 conversion into my 32 gts4. Picked up a low k half cut for 4k, with brakes, gearbox, cooler etc. ceramic clutch was 500 and labour to put the motor in 500. After selling the rb20 and box ($2500) the whole thing came out as $2.5k. Can be done cheaply.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
