Hey all,

so im over my rb20, not getting enough response/ torque and low down power to drift without me flogging the f**k out of it.

it only made 165kw atws, that was a couple of months ago, since then the car begun to get blow by worse and worse... so the power is getting lower and lower. so im loosing power which i cant slide without.

So im thinking of doing a full rb25 swap.. i have access to all the parts needed for the gearbox conversion because im buying it off my mate who has done it.

just need to get a rb25 motor and all the other neccesary bits and pieces for that...

My main question is there anyone in melbourne who has done this before that can help me and a couple of my mates put it in.. my mates are mechanics, but itll be alot easier if i have someone that has done it b4, that can direct us.. they have done rb20 swaps a few times, but the 25 conversion may be abit much for us.

anyone wanna help/give me some extra info...

also anyone know anyone in vic with a good cond, low kms rb25det. preferably out of a s2 r33, and need all the other neccesary bits and pieces..

cheers, jack.

Just take Wills RB26 :rofl:

So far I know CMY32 (Sandra) has done it.

She put a RB25DET Neo from a R34 GTT into her R32 GTS-4.

Aaron from Import Monster has 2 half cuts. (Coming if not, arrived)

A R33 GTS-T and a Stagea.

You can get the RB25DET out of that.

I am in the process of doing it, hope some of you don't mind if i PM you too. So far i can tell you:

- Engine is direct swap (same mounts)

- Wiring different, but theres a few wiring threads around if you're daring to do it yourself (i wasn't, so i PMed BH_SLO32)

- AC same

- PS same

- Alternators same

- Gearbox is same

- Few hoses different

EDIT: By the way i'm converting to RB25DE.

cause its another p plater that bought a gtst thats turning it into a gts

waste of money imo, but each to there own

At least someone understands lol. Got plans for this car that's why. Also if you get the R34 RB25DE engine (255Nm) it has 2 more Nm of torque than the R32 GTR shamefully according to www.motortraders.net (not that i got that engine, not worth it for just P plates).

A RB26DETT has at least 353Nm.

I recently did a conversion with a series 2 rb25. There's heaps of information about it so have a look around. But I still found some things weren't covered anywhere. Feel free to PM me too with any specific questions.

yeh i know there is stuff missing... thats why i put the thread up in hope there will be some people in melbourne that can help me out if i run into trouble along the way.

it seems i have a couple now. cheers, jack.

Easy swap but it's the engineer certificate that's gonna kill you

Lol ceebs engineers cert... thanks tho.

I am keen to get a rb25det neo in there, but if i have to settle for a series 2 rb25det i will.

true, the dude must be smokin crystal

jack, fair few on da bay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R33-...=item19bc9e91d3

also did the door line up?

f**kinn smokinn rocks Cuuunnnttttt! HAHAHA!

i want one in melbourne, so i can just pick it up, chuck it on the back of the ute and then drop it in from there.

freight would be killer, and i cant check everything is there, etc etc... Ebs!

Door still isnt lined up, hopefully the car isnt bent, althought i think it may be, so might ahve to get the jig onto it, and bend the f**ker back.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
