Seen a white R33 with an LS1 over here in Perth, was built by a guy that went to jail for kiddy fiddling :)

I also found this photo somewhere on this site.. pretty sure I saw the car at Motorvation this year.. RWD 32 4door I think.

Thats the punishment for putting a V8 in a skyline, especially a non-nissan V8.

except that engine is a VG30DET v6, not a v8

anything can be done - im reading of a guy in the states doing a 350chev rearwheel drive conversion to fwd integra (rx7 IRS rear, ls1 engine, tremec t56 gearbox)

JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANY ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING A V8 INTO A 32 GTS4 OR GTR. JUST CRUIOUS TO SEE IF IT COULD BE DONE OR WOULD IT COST TO MUCH WITH HEAPS OF CUSTOM WORK. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE COOL WITH THE LOOK OF THE 32 AND THE SOUND OF A V8

NA_R33 (John P) has a methanol injected supercharged VH45 running 10's. It was the one at jambo.

That Red 34 with the Gen-TT LS1 is Australian.Built by GT Autosound in SA for the Drift Australia series, so it can be done. There is a few build pics on another forum. So it definately can be done, but i dont think u would get it done for less than 20k, alot of hours would be involved.

There is a bloke in the UK putting an LS1 into an Astra, so im sure with a bit of massaging you could get it in there no worries, just depend on how deep the pockets are, but if it makes you happy, then why not :stupid:

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's not as simple as it is being made out to be. It s not hard, but there are things that have to be done. Am busy right now, but will try to essay later.

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pinout is different to my knowledge, but you should confirm to be sure. Also you will need to adjust the VQ table in Nistune to suit. I would still recommend sticking with recirculating BOVs, I'm not sure if the R35 card MAF will fully resolve stalling caused by reversion/throttle lift.

      What issues are those? Previous owner said it wants to stall sometimes. We did test drive and it was nice and smooth so it will be sporadic or idk. And if i just change MAF(the sensor to R35 version) it should be better? And as i asked...is it like "plug n play" with oem MAF from R34?  This is a MAF from R35 right?

      Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.

      So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.
