I am looking for some info on the RB20det out of the GT-R I could not find a damn thing on it. Or is someone just f**king with me?? lol I was told it was AWD and had a little more power (not much). It was also on of the last years the R32 was made?? If you have any info or know where I can get some please let me know. Untill then I guess I will keep looking.

I dont really know what you are on about but I think this may answer your question:

- The R32 GTR was built from 1989 - 1994

- The R32 GTS-t was built from 1989 - 1993

The R32 GTR has an RB26DETT - 2.6litre twin-turbo, all wheel drive!

The R32 GTS-t has an RB20DET - 2.0litre single-turbo, rear wheel drive

The all wheel drive on a GTR is not constant AWD. It has 100% power going to the rear and can move upto 50% of that power to the front wheels which it does based on inputs from numerous sensors. Essentially, when the rears loose traction it puts power forward...

Hope that helps.

Ya that does help. But there was no RB20det AWD???

Ah ok, now I know wat you are on about.

There is such a car but it is called the R32 GTS-4.

It has the GTR AWD system with an rb20det. But it is not reffered to as a GTR although some loosers call it a baby GTR. In actual fact the car is pretty underpowered to make good use of the AWD system. With quite a few mods it might be a decent car, but otherwise I would not think so cause it has the power of a gts-t but is heavier due to the AWD and therefore slower. Unless its pouring rain, lol.

LOl OK, but how do you think it would do in a 240sx??? With the RWD trans??

Are you asking to do an engine conversion,

so a RB20DET (GTS-T) in a SR24DE (240SX USA / 180SX AUS)?

If so, Im sure you can, I have seen a S13 Silvia (SR20DET) with a R33 GTS-T (RB25DET) engine conversion.

KA24DE :D

Plenty of information on the RB20's on the forced induced section. How and what's needed to get to 200rwkw for example.

LOL Ya Iam in the USA so a RB25 or 26 isn't that cheap for me unless some has a dope hook up i could get lol

And I am looking to put the RB20det in it but I just dont want to get a old busted one like the redtop so I am making sure I know what comes out of what year and this and that. I was told that the RB20det with AWD was the newest or the RB20s (94 or 96??) But you guys are being a big help.

I see, that explains why its probley hard to get a Skyline engine in cuz you ppl never really had them until now you ppl get the R35 GTR.

Newer maybe one thing but getting an engine thats atleast 15 years old, things are going to be replaced and fixed up. Unless the car is hardly driven and you never know and can oly speculate from its condition.

You could probley get a front half cut from Japan. $5000 - $8000 (Approx) I have not checked for a few years.

Ya I see what you are saying. US never got the skyline and we never got the sr20det or RBs or any cool motor. I think the only thing we got was a vert 240sx lol Other than that we get the gay shit. I should just move to Australia!!! Lol Do they have an electrical union of some sort out there?? lol

Atleast you got the EVO, RX 7 and Supra. LOL!

Electrical Union? Is that you type of work or something?

The RB20DET in the GTSt is basically the same as the RB20DET in the GTS4. The difference is the GTS4 version has an appendage hanging off the side of the sump to hold the differential for driving the front wheels. The sumps are not interchangeable between engines. Other than that, they are mechanically the same.

The early model RB20DET is the "Red Top". It had variable inlet runners, less power. The later model RB20DET is referred to as a "Silver Top".

If you plan on fitting a RB-series engine, go straight to a RB25DET. Newer, more torque.

Australia have the better cars when it comes to Japanese Imports, but when you compare the laws on vehicle modifications, Australia sucks. You see all the Americans running drag radials on the streets with no worries from the police. I would rather live in the US and not have to worry about getting pulled up and defected.

I don't know if things are really like that over there, but from what I've seen...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
