Their a great starting point.

My 32 used to have the 4wd system and an NA 25.

Do they go good? Well it depends on what you want to do with it. The key to driving a 25DE quick, is never let the revs drop below 4500-5000 RPM and point to point, its not a bad little engine.

The 4WD system is great for when things get hairy. If you find yourself in a pickle, the hardest part is to resist the urge to lift off, but keep it flat, let the ATTESSA kick in, do its thing and straighten you out.

25DE's have around 100RWKW stock.

well the body is in pretty ruff shape. small rust over the wheel arch, tiny cant notice it and just 3 4 dings all over it and starches and stone chips all round so was going to fix that up and put some tanky offset wheels on it and a body kit. just really want to know the N/A mod for a rb25de for some increased power

yayyy GTS-4's!!!!!

They are pretty rare. The po po dont even know what it is.

The truith is they are hard too mod because you have too stick too the rule of thum, more fuel and air will increase power and being a NA there are not many ways too do that let alone much ways too get the power. You have too cut straight too spending more money for slight gains.

My GTS-4 has oversized pistons too 50thou for now. It was my first mod and i wanted to make sure the block was out of the way, i also recondictioned the whole block and top end but with that out the way im only 10% of the way there and gained 20kw so far for the upgrade and rebuild (sitting on 121KW at the wheels)

hahah thats what i did! goes a lot better and really shows the potential of the 4WD.

It is pretty rare, when I say gts4 ppl think its a 4door.

Will be a bit of a pickle trying to source some phat rims with a 4 stud though. But there out there. OR do a 5stud conversion (got som bits n pieces left over from mine) hint hint*.

When mine was NA i had 2.5' extractors and cat back + pod etc bolt on stuff and mid 14s -15 at wsid was bout as much i could get it to go with bolt ons to give you an idea.

a good upgrade might be a factory GTR clutch and flywheel (from early R32) i have a billet lightweight GTR flywheel and Excedy HD GTR clutch in mine, clutch grip is phenomenal (second gear clutch drop lights all 4s with fat tyres) on RB25DE+T but you pay for it with your left leg, it is brutal heavy and bitey, Ive got a mate with a 4000lB Jim berry full monty clutch, and that's light as a feather compared.

    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
