hey everyone, i got the oppotunity to pick up a good rb25 with box for a real cheap price, but was wondering how hard it is to fit into my r32. is it a straight swap or do the mounts have to be modified? one guy said it cost 7000 all up to do the conversion in his r32, does this sound about right? i have all the rb25 electrics (loom, computer, coils, etc). any help much appriciated!

anyone got anymore information on this

the crossmember i cant see lining up due to the difference in length of the gearbox's and the speedo on the rb25det gearbox is also electronic rather than the mechanical of the rb20det + the tailshaft is also different?

You have to get a tailshaft adapted for the rb25 box (standard rb20 tailshaft welded to rb25 yoke (end spline)), and also a custom crossmember made up. Both of which should only cost you a few hundred dollars all up. When you have it all the box and engine in there it will all make sense what you will need to make that all work.

Been covered many times. I even included it in my thing.. So I don't know what info you need other than getting one made up??

7. If using rb20 box, just use standard r32 speedo cable to get speedo to work fine. Otherwise use the top r32/bottom r33 sensor method to rig up rb25 box

5. Going from auto rb20 to manual + rb25, I need a custom gearbox mount fabricated, as only 2x bolts line up.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
