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.

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)

      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
