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.

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
