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

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
