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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
