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

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
