Id actually pay to see all these guys who swear by the rb25 to actually install one themselves.

Easy conversion if you plan ahead, All comes down to money as usual.

Take 1x smashed R33, Remove engine/box complete with crossmembers.

Swap engine harness, heater hoses and fittings, smic, power steering, slave cylinder etc

Fit 25 into R32, sort wiring, tailshaft, intercooler pipes, speedo drive.

Its the knowledge and this site that makes it EASY, A hoist helps!

I did 25DET swap last week but thanks for the walkthrough :P

I still say better off with a 26DETT.

Not mechanically minded, are ya?

Quite the opposite actually.

Stupid? the bloke is new to skylines. its hardly a project. he is asking for advice. and in my opinion, buying an r32 gtr would be a better idea, taking into account the amount of money, time and know-how needed to purchasing and fitting all the supporting mods it takes to a) do the engine swap, and b) making the car stop, handle, and road worthy after its done. is this not an online forum where members are able to give their advice when asked?

OP, just to keep these guys happy, go buy an rb26 cut, put the 32 up on blocks in your shed and go for it. fingers crossed its not still sitting there in 2 years time in bits and pieces..

Of course your opinion makes sense upon elaboration Adam. But the bloke has posted his aspirations for his sedan in the sedan/ceffy/taxi subforum - and you enter his thread and throw a 'piss it off and buy a GTR' one liner? Come on...

Maybe he wants to build his car, not buy it.

My first Cefiro I've been working on for 2.5 - 3 years. When I got it, I didnt have half a clue about what I was doing, and I've just done bits n pieces over the years, and that's taught me a lot. On my other (daily) Cefiro I just did an RB25DET conversion in ~8-10 working hours..

So maybe this guy is a complete noob, but we all start learning somewhere (and it's not taking people's advice to get someone else to do it all for you).

valid point. i spose i was a bit how ya goin. but we all know how many people jump on these forums and ask for advice on doing this, that and the other, knowing full well that they are just bored and shit talking on a forum. not saying this guy is, but for a first post its pretty advanced.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
