Hehehe,

Ok guys, this is going to be a weird one for this site.

I have an R34GTT and love it. I am keeping the R34 but I will be buying a 2.8 diesel GU Nissan Patrol shortly.

I wanna take out the RD28 and drop in an RB25DET from an R33.

I have read that it drops straight in and bolts to existing engine mounts and bellhousng of the RD gearbox.

My question is, has anyone in Victoria done this? If so where did you get your work done? And how much.

Thanks guys, I know thisis not the ordinary skyline question.

Perhaps see if you can find a 3.0 litre petrol rather than the Diesel, It has an RB in it already making mounting etc a lot easier and you could always use the 3 litre block, and swapping from diesel to petrol (Fuel lines etc) is not going to be an easy job

Someone in WA has done the swap, he says it's bolt on even the gearbox, will need to clean or swap dome of fuel parts (clean lines, tank might need to replace fuel gauge sender).

Look up Patrol forum ( patrol4x4.com I think, google will find it) I'm sure there are heaps of information regarding this kind of swap.

iplen, OP is buying a GU which never come in RB30 the one you were talking about is GQ which comes with RB30 (I used to have one myself along with ET conversion).

As for getting a mechanic to do the job, just go to whoever you trust to have it done.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Trying to convince the old man to let me drop a 25 head + turbo onto our GQ RB30S when if ever it dies (over 500 000km now lol), engine bay looks similar to a VL except for a lack of EFI and the carburrettor + bigger radiator etc. I believe that the gearbox is the same as fitted to the 300ZX TT.

Gearbox is actually similar size to r33 skyline except for that input shaft on r33 is stronger than patrol ones (could be the stress from transfer case).

Bozodos, don't talk to him, just drop it in without telling him :P

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
