Well, I read an article a while back where a guy with a GT4 Celica put the Lexus V8 motor (LS400/SC400)

into it, and it actually ended up being lighter than the 3S-GTE!

Might be an interesting hybrid idea for a skyline. Imagine hearing a skyline go past with that V8 rumble,

you'd confuse everyone! :)

Oh would someone be able to confirm that since I am dropping a RB25DET into the Cefiro that i just need to get the Apexi PFC suited to that engine..ie R33 GTST. Or is it not as simple as that??

Someone up here in qld actually has an r33 with the 4.5l q45 V8 in it, AND a supercharger :D

With the ae86, someone else up here has one with an rb25 in it, to say the least it hauls. Then there is the 180sx with the 2jz in it, and one big mofo turbo... Then the starlet with the 3sgte in it...

But rb25 is a sensible option. Id just like someone to do the rb30 before me so I know if there is going to be any problems :)

hey mate

yeh i've done the rb30

its all pretty straight forward.

rb30e bottom end

c33 rb25de half cut. because there cheap and non vvt

you can run a standard head gasket (rb30 or rb25)

8.2-1 compression

you need to lower your engine,eith with rx7 engine mounts or cut and shut your current ones(the cross member not the mount.

you need a little re wiring nothing major (not sure on costs sorry also done myself)

cost under a grand as i done all the work myself

still n/a at the moment beatins SS commo's and my mates r34 rb25det NEO(stock)

highly recommended.i'm still totaly stock and very happy with my performance.

LoL, awesome man. My mechanic has done quite a number with rb26 heads, so I would probaby go that way.

How was the crossover pipe and the bonnet???

No worries, bonnet wouldnt shut cause of timing belt cover, lowered motor about 20mm, no problems with pipework.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
