what cars have/would you put an RB25det engine into that works???

i have a heavily worked rb25 and im looking to put it into something but not sure what. GTR or s15 are the first 2 that come to mind but it has to be possible and fairly easy to do aswell

R32 gtst with an rb25 box aswell :PBJ:

also abit off topic, but ive seen a vl calais turbo with a worked rb26dett, looked/sounded/went like a rocket - traction was a huge problem but haha

best idea i've seen is a VOLVO wit an rb25 mildly modded at the time i saw it but plans for more,

no one would expect to get their ass kick by a volvo

but i suspect this idea is not for every1

s14's look hot with an rb under the bonnet rather then the pissy little sr. I couldn't personally bare to see anything other than rb26 in a GT-R, but it would be an easier conversion. Did you see the GT-R rolling shell I posted a link to in your other thread...

didn't nissan bring these out from factory? *runs from the stagea owners*

i wouldn't go with any car that had a stronger engine in it already (eg gtr). whats the point?but definately something lighter like a s14 or something. you do change the dynamics of thse cars quite badly when doing this ive heard. all depends on what you're using the car for - drift? circuit? drag? street? something to think about

Some dude in the WA forum put one in his LJ Torana. Castlemain rod shop do a conversion kit for a ,RB30 so stands to reason you could get a RB5 in one fairly easily with that kit. Would be heaps fast as torana is light as. Im trying to talk my cuz into doing this.

cheers

I think ive seen that car go by me, he "BOVed" me and i turned around to look and all i saw was a volvo, so i followed and he had a turbo volvo, i was pissing myself laughing.

I want a BMW M3 with an RB25DET in it. Ive seen one with a 2JZ, so i want a nissan version :P

don't you dare swap a M3 engine for a boat anchor RB.

also, Volvo made low pressure turbos from factory in the early/mid 90s... still a POS though

+1. the m3 motor is very good. around 170kw at the wheels from the non turbo 6. i went to a dyno comp with 1 there. an old guys car. was stock and made 171kw. won the NA 6 cylinder class easily.

as for what to swap it into, there are lots of options. just remeber that if you put it into an old car, you are still going to have old car handling. it may go fast in a straight line, but start praying when you get to a corner.

Yeah a mate of mine has an S13 with a 25 that has a 3037 strapped onto it, its just a little tail happy with 277kw at the wheels on 11psi lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
