im gett

I wouldn't do the engine conversion if I was you. NA's are around you just have to look. My mate is finding it hard to source a decently priced RB25DE at the moment by the way for his S13 so your car wuold be off the road for a while until you found exactly what you were looking for.

So again, it's a waste of time and money.

just to name a few.

Best bet would just be to keep searching mate, Im also in the hunt for a R33 series 2 GTS/GTS4, or R34GT.

It can be a pain, but in the end its probably worth it.

Not to mention insurance cover would rise a fair bit with an engine swap in place?

Considering what the going rate is for a p plater under comprehensive cover.

Hi Mate, Im in the same shoes as u, Im in the Process of doing a RB25de in my R32 GTST, I Picked up a RB25DE Motor, Computer and Loom for $650. Everything is pretty much Straight forward Bolt up. Im Only Having a little trouble with 1 Plug of wiring, Otherwise is easy as shit. I Say do the conversion, but thats my opinion. Good Luck

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
