Yeh heller makes a good point... i got a gts-4 its awesome n all but the costs of doing all that work might aswell get a gtr...

But on the flipside apparently the Stagea engine is the best drop in for it since its a 4wd motor :(

yeah i know the stag motor apparently drops in!!

i dont have a car atm, n all i have is a worked rb25det and box with pfc to match, seen a cheap gts-4 for sale and wanted to see if i can put my set up in it, hence the questions!! i'd love a gtr but out of my price range atm

Thing is i have a perfectly good rb25det sitting downstairs with a manual box, all the bolt on mods you see in my signature, and am thinking of getting a gts-4 just wondering if it is possible? can ytou refrill the RWD block to accomodate for the stagea 4wd or rb26 4wd sump??

this has kinda been covered in another topic recently

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Op...wd-t317738.html

might be some useful info in there.

not sure about your mods, maybe you can transfer some of them onto an rb26 or stagea engine, sell your engine stock and but a gtr rolling body...

just a possibility

I'm just about to finish my stagea conversion in my gts4 r33. I would not get a gtst rwd motor and dump it in there as you will need to get a rwd gearbox which costs more money. George is correct in saying it is basically a drop in motor, however your only real problem is changing the diff. My plan was to do this conversion all along for a mini zilla. So if you think you are committed enough to do the conversion yourself it can be very simple. Im not sure about r32s however lot of the r33 parts from the na are compatible

thanks for that man, i am confident on the conversion, done 2 rb20det s13's. I do also have the RWD gearbox (did i mention this)?? But the gts-t has a a blown rb20det motor in it already so there i parts i can play with there.

built rb25 and box + datsun 260Z = Fun

You cant simply re-drill the 2WD block to plonk an AWD sump and diff onto it.... it's a different block.

Honestly, if you cant afford to buy a stag motor/box... maybe you should hold off on any kind of performance conversion?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
