im about to undergo the rb25de to det conversion

heres a list of what i got:

front cut inc. gearbox, tailshaft, rear diff end, brakes, and 5 stud conversion.

should cost all up $5-6k inc. install, depending on how much i can afford to bolt on (fmic, injectors, etc)

wats the difference with the NEO Motor. where do u get front cuts from and do they come with gearbox. if i was to purchase the font cut would there be anything else i would need to get ie. Diff tailshaft ect.

Have you looked at this thread yet - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=129655

An RB25 is going to have more torque, but a 10k redline would make me giggle like a school girl :O

Also putting an RB25 box in a R32 needs a custom/cut down tail shaft. That may add a fair bit to the final figure. but if your running a 250rwkw RB20 you'll probably need one anyway.

Im using the rb20 gearbox runinng 230rwkw. only drivin it for one weekend but it feels fine so far. IMO its not worth putting the 25 box in coz they still break an the rb20 box is as cheap as chips to replace. Just use the best gear oil you can find.

That is rubbish... the RB20 gearbox is nothing like the RB25 gearbox. RB25 gearboxes are basically the same as the GTR minus the AWD bits.

If you go the RB25DET get the RB25 gearbox too, you will be sorry when you just have to take it back to be swapped out after it breaks down the track.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
