Not much point... for 7k you might get a stock rb25 engine into your car thats about it if you did it on the cheap. Good idea if you want the car for quiet along time and want to get 350+rwhp with the R32 gtst.

On the other hand 7k will get you 250+rwhp if you use your money wisely on the rb20 and if you want anywhere up to 320-330rwhp the rb20 will be fine which is heaps for rwd street car!

If your going for a convertion on a r32 i think the rb26 is a lot easyer to do than a rb25. Also you wouldnt need to spend $7000 to make a rb20 more powerfull than a stock rb25 and you less likey to do the rings on your rb20 if your thinking about running more than 1 bar boost.

try 5k at the absolute worst.

Motor & loom & labour to fit i would envisage a 5k or less pricetag. Its dependant if you fit an RB25 box or not.

For a stock turbo'd RB25 motor, the stock RB20 box will hold no problem anyway IMO. So not worth changing.

So yeah, under 5k easily

yeah cheers for the input, wouldnt a rb26 be pretty expenisve and would u need the different gearbox and other stuff like that correct me if im wrong. yeah i want the car for awhile its mint condition its got 20's on it but i wanna change them to bloody expesive for tryes. hyperdrive said id get the complete motor for 2.5k or 3grand, and instal is 1500, and they said wit the rest of them money do injectors ,z32afm, fuel pump, powerfc.

i think it sounds orright. are hyperdrive good, if herd really good stuf about em but i thought id ask u guys aswell.

Sorry I meant, rb25 + box + ecu/loom + install charges would get up closer to that 7k mark.

I guess alot depends on where u get the motor and who installs it!

Hyperdrive is excellent and only do top work :dry: Check the 34 V-spec out the front if you are unsure along with the many other GTR's around that place!!

lol.. yeah

get the engine done, then put it in if you really want to go that way. I'd ask why though? that sort of power won't be that useable to drive around with..

You can get a basic rb25 engine package (no gearbox) for around $2k with loom and ecu..

My conversion cost $1600 for the engine loom/ecu and about $300 of the misc stuff I needed (labour was me therefore free). Bit of a special price though, guy sold his old car and just wanted it gone.

Hi i have a rb25det in a r32 it was worth it, all up it cost 1,400 and 3,000 for the 25 I have a r33 computer in it and loom, stock gear box and diff, stock intercooler stock exhaust the boost is a 11psi and it goes hard. i thinck a good 13.2 to 12.8

I could not thinck how hard it will go with all the mods eg. a good 310 rwkw.

Also we did the rear grads a bit bigger than a GTR looks tuff with the 19”s

I'm selling a NEO RB25 for $2500 but not in Perth sorry. That gives you an idea of what you can get. $1800-$2500 for the engine with loom, turbo, ecu, add $1500 for fitting and you're away. Call it $4000 but allow a few dollars for the unforseen.

How far could you take your RB20 for $4500? Probably a fair way... but would $3800 get you as far? Dunno.

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
