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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
