Hey guys

I am a new member to this forum=).. hopfully will be on some cruises with you guys.. i am about to purchase a 4 door r32 skyline that currently has a rb20det .. because i am a p plater and am restricted to driving turbo i am thinking about doing an SR20DE VVTI s14 motor into my skyline.

My Idea that i have considered. Ppl have done the Rb motors into an S13 silvia using the skyline crossmembers and bolts straight in. in saying that would it also be the same if i use the S13 Silvia SR crossmember into my skyline and bolt straight in.

my 2nd If using the sr20de 4 cly motor that would also help in weight destribution as it is further back in the engine bay. in saying this it will be able to handle pretty well in my opinion.

What i havn't yet researched on is wiring. How hard would it be exactly to wire up the engine loom to run the car. Being nissan i think that it should be able to be done.

I have seen a sr20det into a 4 door skyline and it handles pretty well in the drift comp. Like to thank you guys for reading and if u could be a help to this conversion it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Jace

Can you do that? As in throw in a NA engine into a car that was originally turbo and be able to drive it on your P's? I always thought they get the car's factory specs. Like you can't go out and buy an R33 and throw in 200kg of bricks (also getting it engineered) to make it under the power to weight ratio.

Make sure you know 100% you can get away with it before doing anything.

I'm fairly sure RB20DET gearbox will NOT bolt onto an SR. Namely all the SR boys that want to upgrade to RB25 gearbox (same bolt up pattern as RB20 box) need to do a bit of work to make them fit.

This mostl likely means, custom bellhousing (or at least some work to it), different gearbox x-member, modified tailshaft, new gearbox.

The cost starts adding up, just think, is it really worth it?

Go buy a shitter for the mean time to drive on the road and drive your car out at the track where it should be driven :)

Then when it's time you get your full licence, you can just register yours and be done with it :P

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
