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

money might be a issue maybe..

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.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
