Hi all. I have been planning this swap for quite a while (after vicroads and EPA squashed my RB30DET in R32 plan).

What i have worked out so far is:

Buy R32 GTR front cut

Take engine, harness and computer.

few small engine mods (oil drain at rear of head, high volume/baffled sump)

get an RB25DET g'box and clutch etc (do navara speedo swap)

bolt it into the GTS-T.

What issues am i going to have as far as interchanging parts.

What should i do with the front diff on the GTR sump (can you get a plate to block the sump up if you take it out?)

Do GTR intercooler kits/piping fit a GTS-T (or is there a difference in the front of the cars?)

Will original gtr airbox fit in the gts-t engine bay?

will a catchcan designed for an gtr engine bay fit the gts-t engine bay? (one from hiOctane.com)

Will an X-Force GTR exhaust fit the gts-t undercarriage?

Anything else you can think of?

oil drain and bigger sump are the least of you worries, the 15-20yo 32 motor is... IMO don't chase more than 280rwkw.

sump, just get the diff removed and welded up hole, works fine.

airbox should be fine

BOV setup might need custom work to fit

I'll address the intercooler issue.. you can bolt up a whole 32R intercooler/piping/bov setup including the plumback pretty easily, I only had to drill one hole for a vacuum hose. Have to make sure you get EVERYTHING though(all brackets, bulkhead fittings, rubber pipes etc), have a search for a 32GTR workshop manual, there is an exploded diagram of the intercooler and turbo piping setup which helped me a lot when installing.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
