Recommended Posts

err no you dont mate put my 20 into his silvia when I put my 25 in

he used a advance r32 front pipe and so did I

maybe if you doing custom mounts or something you might have to

but cefiro crossmember rb20 mounts on a 20 no problem into s13

r32 crossmember r32 mounts on to 25 into 32 no problems

rb25 vs rb20 starter motor

rb front pipe vs s13 front pipe

hope its not the starter motor behind this.... mine isnt finished yet and i will be using the rb20 starter motor on the 25 still. Hope i dont have to change that too :D

I dont think it is..

It starts very ritch..

I have a feeling it has something to do with the fuel pump regulator or something of the sorts..

With the two Rb25 into R32 convo's i have done I noticed that the guage speed reads MORE than your acctually doing..

The only two probs I have had..

OH!.. and the pully at the end of the crank.. make sure it has as many grooves as all of the other pullies in the system..

^^ That's not what the clutch guy that built my last clutch said.

If what you're saying is the case, will that mean I need a new starter motor when I upgrade to a 25 box?

I use an rb20 starter still. I had the 2 sitting side by side when doing my rb25 swap and decided to stick with the one i knew worked. Flywheel ring gear is the same size so there's no problems there. It works with both 20 and 25 gear box. Why wouldn't it?

Hey all, doin a 25 conversion on the R32. Im just wodering what parts from my Rb20 will swap over? I only have Rb25 block and head, no manifolds, CAS, etc etc.

Im 99% sure my exhaust manifold will swap over fine. But what else will? and What will I need to buy seperate?

Cheers in advance!

I just got my RB25DET (series 2) and I was hoping you could help me with some questions.

My Skyline is non turbo so it will be a big step with the RB25.

Now then, my first question is about the gearbox mounts, I hear they aren't the same and I will also have problems with the speedo meter. What do you know about this? Can I use the Xmember of the R33 ??

The second is about the harness, everyone that has ever swapped an engine told me that the harness is the most difficult part of the swap. Do you have the diagram of the R32 and the R33 (still can't find it for the R32) and some pointers on how this is done??

Hope to get a reply from you soon

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
