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

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
