Ahh, just found out a mate from school is going to do it.

Just gotta pay sum1 to do the wiring.

Anyone with much info on it?

Is it

Straight swap? mounts line up? gearbox line up?

Were can i source a cheap halfcut?.

I Dont need Ecu as i have a 33 microtech.

Whats needed to be done for a mod plate?...

Thanks.

man do it yourself, i am.

doesnt look to hard i will find out as i go.

i will gettin help from the lovely people from SAU if i need it though.

prob be able to get a from cut of a r33 for like 3500 if that, that gives you everything you need.

mechanics if you make it easy for you will prob do it for 2-3 K drive in drive out. with no other modifications.

yes and no...it is a straight swap but it isnt....

you need to change the gearbox mount and the tail shaft..

use whatever computer you want, just tune it.

dont mod plate it....:O you shouldnt need to.

the r32 came out with a 2.5 ltr....or just dont advertise it as a 2.5 ltr you should be fine....

but i would mod plate it cause it is illegal not to....savvy

gearbox mount needs to be modified...weld abit of angle along the back of it to pick up the last two bolt holes.

do it yourself and you might learn something about your car.

You can keep the Rb20 box (i have) but may not last you long... if you are going to use the rb25 box you will need to get a shortened tailshaft made up for around $700.. and you can use the existing rb20 harness if you make a few minor changes... it's all easy if you have a soldering iron hehehe

do it yourself ..... i have been quoted over $6000 for a conversion i did under $2000 :thumbsup:

sif man pay you, we'll whip you till your finished the conversion.

Can help with the wiring. I have done a few now. Excellent conversion, I even did one for my fathers R32 at the start of this year. He loves it!

I have personally done 2 now and have done them over a weekend with a hand from my bro-in-laws.

Cheers

It's easy if you have the tools and know what you are doing, it takes more than anyone is going to tell you here on the forum but is not that hard, start using the r32 complete wiring harness only changing the 4th and 6th injectors pins

(rb25 igniton is different.), use r32 ecu, you need to use the r33 yoke (it is the begining of the driveshaft that connects into the tranny), the transmission mounts must to be changed (the r33 tranny seats a little farther than the r32, you'll need to custom your cluster if you are going to use the r33 tranny (r33 reads the speed digitally and r32 use a cable from tranny to the back of your cluster.).

If you don't mind for timing and you want the r33 front end too it's going to take really a lot of work!(I'm doing right now this conversion, r32 with r33 front end and complete front end wiring harness with the rb25 motor....lol it is really been a lot of things to do.)

gl with your swap.

if anyone needs a tailshaft made give brendon at petron automotive a call (its on tradelink rd in browns plains) Tell him matt with the rb26 s14 sent you, he will lookafter you.

if your paying $700 for a tailshaft im pretty sure you would be getting ripped off. but it depends what you are after i spose

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
