Hey guys,I've searched this topic over and over but seem to have come up short of a clear answer. I'm installing what appears to be a Series 1 RB25DET into my HCR32 and I'm unsure what the situation with the motor mounts is. Some people say just use the RB20 mounts, but I've also read that you need to swap the motor mount brackets on the RB25 engine block itself to the RB20 brackets?

Other info I heard is that RB25 motor mounts are the same and should drop right in, which clearly isn't the case because the motor does not bolt in right now and I've wasted a night trying to get this thing bolted in.

What exactly do I need to do to get this motor bolted in? I have the RB25 with RB25 engine mount brackets and RB25 engine mounts.

Can anybody who's done the swap please chime in? I'd greatly appreciate a second of your time.

You need to use the 20 engine mounts for sure & I think the brackets too.

Can't quite remember with brackets tbh but I'm pretty damn sure. But yeah 20 mounts, 100%.

From memory you can sort of tell by looking as one set will mount rather flat while the other is more angled...

Great, thanks so much guys! That's a pretty solid answer. Haha.

Here's what it's going in:

The engine was dropped in by my friend because we had nowhere to put it, so it was literally sitting on the oil pan and crossmember.

Anyway, thanks a lot, now I just need to source some brackets!

Thanks mate. The places I found that sell RB20 brackets want $80.00 plus shipping for them... So much money! I think I'm gonna have custom solid mounts made instead and just use a Nismo transmission mount...

The wheels are 18x9 +7 front and 18x10 +7 rear.

hey mate any trouble with the tyres hitting upper control arm in fronts......looking at getting new rims for mine the lenso d1r and not sure bout offsets........this is why i ask

by the way my conversion to a 25 worked pretty smoothly though i had someone do it for me......biggest drama was getting speedo working really with the 25 box

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
