Hi there I currently have a skyline 34 RB25DE, is it worth the conversation or should I just get a half cut of a RB25DET or RB26DETT hand anyone done it? As far as I know the RB25DE is alot different from RB25DET anyone know how much It may cost parts + labour

Engine swap is one of the most straight forward ways around it. Getting a half cut that includes brakes would also be very good.

Not sure on labour for an engine swap.

+1 sell it and buy a turbo.

paid 1.8k+1.5k(motor) for labour and parts for my conversion, it was a str8 swap but had a lot of missing bits and pieces, JUST labour I would estimate at least 1k. Only did the turbo conversion cos I wanted to keep my 4WD but if i had a GTST I would of sold it and got a turbo!

im looking to sell the gt25 and go the gtt when im unrestricted in January.

Conversion or rb25de+t is a bit of a run around and may be costly depending on what you want.

Have spoken to dori34 about it briefly though (rb25de+t), his car looks and sounds amazing.

ive got a s2 33 gts4 and would only sell if you can get a gtst in AWD, not sure if you can tho??

if not engine conversion from a awd stagea will fit right in?

they didnt make an awd gtst for the 33, only the 32 has an awd gtst.

If your a p-plater with future aspirations of getting a turbo then get a gt-v. I scored a gt-v for 15k. Manual with all the turbo bits. engine... maybe 2-2.5 k and 1k labour maybe more. And at the time a allready turbo one was AT LEAST 20k. So in the end of the day I'm saving money. And if not i loose some but have a skyline on my p's and not some shitbox. And besides, if you wanna smack on serious power, your saving money since the engine is out of the car=quicker easier and yeah... engine swapping isn't as expensive as most think.

If you get a straight up n/a then no, coz of the breaks and hassle but get a gt-v like me and youll be fine :-)

Sell it get a turbo best thing I regretted doing mine ended up costing too much

parts were like 800 for turbo + injectors + manifold + dump pipe + front pipe

then cooler which was 350 then power fc which was 1500

then clutch + labour 800

then 2500 all up for labour of conversion + few lines made up + tuning + few other bits and pieces

then came random small expenses like bov + cross over pipe

so what's that roughly 6k

I could have dropped a gtr motor in there for 6k and lived happily!!!

Im thinking of doing the RB25DE+T mod also.

I have most of the turbo parts left over from my R33 GTS25t. Was thinking of bolting them on to my R34 25GT, I bought the car for $4800 so still ends up been a cheap turbo R34 if I do it.

Can the factroy ECU and injectors on the R34 25GT handle 6psi? OR would they shit them selves if I chucked on the R33 turbo parts and just started driving it?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
