i got a 30/25 out of silvia goin in me r32 which had a rb25 (standard) in it,, threw it in other day -30/25.. the greedy like front plemum hits me clutch master cylinder, not to sure if it is origanal skyline one thou cause it was an auto b4, anyone had this problem?? and also the turbo turns straight into the strut tower!!!!! wat else?, me engine mount on drivers side dont work with rb25 engine mounts brackets..... wen i had me standard rb25 in me r32 i used r32 brackets with vl mounts, wat has other ppl used here??

Yes had the same problem. I used an R33 clutch master cylinder as it is a shorter item. I used standard R32 mounts and brackets albeit modified brackets to allow the motor to sit lower.

I've got the same setup as yours (rb30/25 into an r32) and I had the exact same problem (clutch master cylinder being too long). After weeks of thinking about what to do, my mechanic finally decided to instead just trim the back edge off the plenum. Fits perfectly now... The new turbo however (GT35R) only slightly scrapes the strut tower. I only wish I knew about the r33 master cylinder earlier otherwise I wouldn't have had to cut up the new plenum.

+1 on both those accounts

I got an R33 clutch master cylinder as I thought my custom plenum was going to hit it, turned out it was fine.

I also used known R32 RB20 brackets and brand new R32 RB20 engine mounts. I redrilled the holes in the bracket to drop the engine down some.

I then had to get 6boost to do me a slightly different exhaust manifold as the turbo (GT35R) hit the strut tower.

thx for the info.. i get home n only hr left of day light so didnt really get to sus it out but r33 slave cylinder looks like the go!! i be lookin into that,,, and i got pasanger side engine mount and bracket on (rb20 bracket and rb30 mount- same as me rb25 in 32 setup).. have to look into other side tmrow arv, fingers crossed cause i was goin to get one made custom to suit from extreme engineering near archi airport, ever want sum pipes or anything at that matter see him!! he can weld a coke can lol

with turbo.. i turned it upside down -- me dumb dumb haah should of thought of that but had to take off power steer fluid bracket off and still f*k all room, just nuf for hose and clamp i rekon..

anyone got any other problems they had i would be more then happy to hear about them try save me sum time...

i still need to wire up me microtech Lt12 its wired to harness but still need to cut injector plugs off to suit me delphi rochester 870 injectors so bosch style plugs.. so much to do so lil time.

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
