G'day guys. Just wondering if anyone knows if there is much involved in putting an RB25 into a 32 GTR?? (obviously its going to be RWD only)

I have searched, but could not come up with anything, but pls point me in right direction if theres something already there.

Will the engine mount up properly?

Can you just disconnect front drive shafts and leave them?

Will gearbox fit?

I pretty much know nothing, so any help would be great.

Thanx guys, Mike

Yeah its a rolling shell.

Basically, i had/have an R32 GTS-T with an RB25 in it.

Last friday i stacked this car into a tree, and sent the fronts drivers side wheel (which was on full lock) through the floor of my drivers side foot well (luckily i had a roll cage). Chassis is kinked, so is shock tower. But everything else incl. engine, box, diff, rear and front left susp is all good.

Now i'm wondering what to do.

Ideally finding a rolling chassis would be perfect. Whether its a non-turbo or turbo chassis it doesnt really matter as i still have all my brakes/hubs and anything else required to changeover.

But there is not much in the way of rolling chassis' for sale. Except this GTR one. Which is why im so interested in this topic.

My only other option is that i could buy a stocky GTS-T for 7-8k and change everything over, and effectively rebuild my old car.

not a bad idea hen mate.. gtr shell is better looking aye...

Thats exactly what i was thinkin.

And considering this rolling chassis is about the same price as a stocky, im leaning towards the GTR.

I just gotta work out whats invloved.

Yea, but it defies the purpose of having a GTR if your going to stick an RB25 in it… maybe approach a Jap wrecking yard and offer a trade on your smashed R32 (remove all the useable parts first) for an GTR front cut… that way you will have an RB26DETT in a GTR as God intended :D

my 2c

Best of luck!

That would be nice, but unfortunately after writing off (what was) my daily driven car, with no comprehensive insurance, money is a bit tight.

But i'll see if any wrecker/importer is interested, and what i can come up with

FFS would be nice if someone just gave some decent advice instead of opinions in why he should put a 26 back in!!!!

Why not put a 25 in, work with what you have...hence why I turbocharged a 25GT

Go for it, hopefully someone will give you some in depth info about it, unfortunately I can't

if your saying money is tight then id simply shop for a gts-t shell again, redo your old care, if your planning on doing a rb25 conversion into gtr, the gtr shell vs gtst shell alone price would be great difference. yet alone having the hassle of the conversion, personaly i would just find another gtst shell and redo your previous weapon.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
