hey guys,

im looking at building an s13 silvia drift car....im thinking rb25det, 180sx front & r32 rear end.

now im not concerned about the 180 front or rb25....only about the r32 rear end...here are my questions.

1) can it be done?

2) if it can be done, how difficult is it & what needs to be done?

if you have attempted this or know someone who has plz get in contact with me.

would of posted on ns.com, but thought i'd try here first.....aslo tried search but nothing came up.

cheers

Andrew ;)

Never heard of anyone attempting to put a 32 end on a s13/silvia before. If you've got the money, anything can be done. Wouldn't have a clue how easy/hard it would be, but I've never seen it done so I'm going to say it'll cost quite a lot, or it's a hard job.

I've seen R32 rear lights crammed into a 180sx, complete custom fabrication which shouldn't be too hard if you're handy and have nothing better to do.

There's also been at least 1 fairly good attempt chucking an R32 front end on an S13 chassis which worked alright, so that can be done.

As for the rear, theres nothing off the shelf which I can think of to make this easy, about the only thing that 'may' work is an R32 widebody kit with a fairly humongous amount of fiddling put into the anchor points where it bolts on. Bumper would be much the same case, modified bit of aftermarket kit.

I sort of shudder to think of the amount of bog and glass it'll require to hide the gaps... then, being a drift car, it's gunna get f**ken smashed into something sideways and yep, well, kinda rich to fix. >_<

Are you sure it wasn't a r32 with a silvia front that you saw? that would be alot easier.

well if it wasn't a silvia, im from pluto :rofl: nar, i compared an r32 & an s13 on my comp to verify it was an s13....guess i was hoping i could do it, but luck doesn't seem to be on my side ;)

engine swap + rear end... like everyoen said just get an R32 and slap the s13 front on it..... i dont think that would look good because the s13 front is narrower .... i just cant see it as a good mix.

not going for looks, as it will be a drift car....so yer dunno yet **edit: just realised why am i going for 32 rear end if not for looks? well guess i want it to be unique**

It would be far easier and cheaper to stick a 180 front on an R32. Plus the engine swap would be a bit less hassle too.

Ryan "Jilted" from SilviaWa made one here in perth about two years ago. First one in Australia we believe.

It is easier to put R32 lights into a 180sx as the shapes are the same and it requires extensive modification to the low garnish under the lighs ie a custom made one of garnish.

But it has been done...

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
