My understanding is that there was a very late model R32 GTS which had an rb25de (not an rb25det)...so it's probably not useful.

I thought this could be the case. I'm having trouble interpreting some of the regulations for Targa

Am I correct in thinking the engine fitted to the car needs to be the engine as stated on the compliance plate? And no exceptions?

Thanks again.

You have to run what was in the original spec sheet or homoigation papers. You could convert a pov pack 2 door R32 into a gts-t if you wanted.

So RB20DET is the only option for R32 Gts-t

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I was asking because I already have an RB25DET engine/gearbox and clutch combo that I bought for another car
It would have been easy to just bolt it into the R32, it already has turbo, ecu, injectors, afm and a tune.

Thanks again, back to researching!

Well fellas,

not sure if you are interested as it has the wrong badge on it, but am finally making some progress with the chook cooker. Some pics below if interested. Basically have finished the engineering of the equal length 4 link rear with coilover conversion. Now its off to get caged.

  • 3 weeks later...

We are ready just in time. Finally finished working on the new fuel system after a bad batch of fuel hose meant I had to take it apart 3 times after much swearing and frustration. Car goes on the dyno tomorrow for one last check. Dad and I recced the course in a hire car three weeks ago so it's all still rather fresh in my memory.

Can't wait to see how the new suspension setup handles the Tas roads :)

We had the unofficial launch for Launceston residents last night at Levee Food Co.

Looking Good Ben! Good Luck at Targa Next week! Hope you get a Plate! :woot:

Wish I was there but the Evo 6 is still not fixed. Would of been a good year for Spada & me too in early modern as there seem not as many contenders going this year

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
