Hey guys just picked up my next project. It's an r32 gtst with no motor or gearbox. It's was rb20de auto. Just want some ideas/opinions on what motor and box to run. Pretty sure I'm gonna just get a 33 front cut. Any suggestions? And also I'm gettting it painted next week. I'm thinking just go black but give me some more ideas and pics too that would be awesome. Any help would be sweet cheers

I want a tuff streeter but still be competitive on a track. So I'm heading towards rb25. I went out to a wrecker today and found myself an r33 front cut for $3500. I want to make roughly 300+kw.. Any other suggestions? And what colour

I don't really have much of a budget. Maybe $3000 for motor and box. Is there any difference between s1 and s2 rb25det's?? And how about wiring a 25 into the r32? I heard the gearbox is pretty straight forward but need to mod the speedo cable to suit the r32 mechanical speedo. Just really wanted to know the best and safest way to make 300+ from

a 25. And whether an rb26 would be worth considering... I've built two silvias so I'd love to hear some experience on skylines.

well dont even think about making 300kw with an R33 RB25DET without rebuilding it, AFAIK it wont last long.

a NEO may be able to hold that power for some time unopened.

if you do a search for your other questions, you will find quite concise answers.

good luck.

ok, few answers for you.

1: bugger all difference between s1 and s2 motors other than electrics.

2: yeah need to do a little bit of adapting to get the speedo to work. i think you can use a vl speedo sender, or is it a navara one? but yeah, just search it. plenty of info on it.

3: 300kw is the upper limit of the stock engine with any sort of reliability, although you can make more power but it becomes a time bomb. my suggestion would be a 25/30 for that sort of power.

4: for what it would cost you to buy a 26 and a 25 gearbox, etc, you could do the 25 conversion and mods (or 25/30 built) to be making more power than the 26.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
