Sorry to be the one to bring this up for probably close to the gazillionth time.

But before you mention it, yes I know there's a search function and yes, Google is my friend, etc, etc.

But anyway, I've been searching through forums and the like for a week or so and a lot of threads regarding this swap are from quite a while back. '07ish.

Also the reason it's in the WA section is due to possible price differences as compared to other states due to Perth being in the middle of Whoop Whoop.

(so delete, close or move if absolutely necessary, but If my there's a recent thread or something I've not found please let me know)

I was just wondering, due to the fact that none of the sites really tell you, how much your looking to pay for a RB25DET half-cut these days in WA? (I'm assuming there'd be some form of price depreciation)

Whereabouts in Perth is capable/trustworthy of getting these in in good nick, low km's and at a decent price?

And any other associated costs? (installation, possible tuning, wiring, etc.)

(probably worth noting, is my pathetic mechanical knowledge, I reckon without help I'd be in struggletown getting the engine out by myself)

A ballpark figure for each of these (based on recent experience, inside knowledge, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

my cousins son was looking at getting a half cut S14 SR20DET at jap performance place in ossie park to install in his NA auto S13, they quoted $3000 for the half cut and $2500 to install, i know that its not a 25DET but gives you an idea of what your up for, remember japan is not pumping out any new 25s anymore and demand is quite high

Is there like an FAQ thread about this conversion (not a tutorial, I've read about a million of 'em) someone could point me in the direction of?

I'm trying to find out what parts are interchangeable from the 20 to the 25. (manifolds, cams, etc.)

To see whether I'll need the half-cut or if just an engine, g/box and loom will cut it.

Cheers.

Edit: Also is there any significant difference in power or ease of installation between the S1 and S2 RB25's?

Edited by are bee's

Mechanically, there is no difference between a series 1 and 2 R33 era RB25.

Things like ECU, coilpacks, TPS are different (and thus the harness).

RB20 & RB25 exhaust manifolds are the same.

RB20 and RB25s1 coils and igniter are the same (s2 went to igniters on the coils), RB20 and RB25s1 AFM is also the same.

Use the P/S and A/C that are already in the car, should all bolt up to the block fine.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • 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
