it would be easier to put it back into an r33.

r32 swap has different lengthed driveshafts, motor mounts,power steering pump,and the wiring needs to be modified.The tranny is a different size so the mounts need to be modified there also,and if your speedometer is an electronic output on your old tranny it will not work with the r32 speedometer.

i did an r34 rb25 so its a bit different than your motor so the wiring was more difficult. but in my opinion it is well worth it,i love the power that it has now,in such a light car.

good luck

Basically, all you need is an engine, the ECU and the engine loom.

The R32 gearbox appears to be strong enough to handle a RB25DET. I've been pushing 180awkW out of mine, and the gearbox is still fine (granted, mine is GTS4). Then you don't need to worry about speedos and diffs and driveshafts and gearbox mounts and ...

You need to use the R32 A/C compressor and P/S pump.

    • Well, of course there's something wrong with the suspension. It was like that when it came out of the factory. Nissan wanted it to ride at least 50mm higher than most of us. They wanted it to be comfortable enough that the press and user reviews didn't complain about fillings being knocked out of teeth. The marketing people wanted to be able to talk about their fantastic new 4WS system (even if it was a pointless exercise, ha! pointless! Do you see what I did there? no? oh well. too bad). There weren't any semi-slicks or semi-semi-slicks or 18" wheels. Laser pointers didn't exist, so you couldn't easily build a bump steer gauge. There wasn't any better technology for suspension bushes than squishy shit in a condom. The list goes on.
    • I personally recommend not messing with factory suspension until you can clearly identify something wrong. For example I think the R33 might need some way to adjust front camber because I feathered the edges of the tires much more than the center of the tread doing some figure 8s and slalom.
    • Did some baking today, managed to fit it all in the oven. Turned out pretty good. Hopefully it holds up well to a bit of tool abuse.  Popped a few pieces on to see what the colours will look like. Pretty happy with how it came up.  Now to wait for the rest of the stuff to rock up
    • A creative mounting location would be from the roof. We totally need to bring back ludicrous stereo designs from AutoSalon days...
    • don't do. Fricken typos. Make me look like the sheeple.
