Hey all just looking for some advice.

So the basically I have the opportunity to get an r33 with minor front end damage

for a good price of a mate.

Since I have the tools and engine hoist and so on at home I could do it my self (and i little help from my friends :D )

but there is obvious things like wiring and drive shaft I'd need custom made and I want to know how much for the additional

things. As well as exactly what the extra things are.

OR

Because I cbf I was wondering what I would be looking at to get it installed by a workshop?

Any advice would be great :D

Thanks

not too much really, as you said wiring and tailshaft, may need to play with speedo sender, swap dash temp sender, exhaust should fit, same with intake piping

you may consider swapping brakes as well if you have the whole car

a shop would _probably_ charge you at least 2k

ring some shops and ask them.

There has been so many of these conversions done that all problems would have been identified and solved so with a little resurch you should be able to have everthing covered before you start.

Why don't you just do what I'm doing Rob?

After muddy helps me with mine (WHICH ISN'T TO FAR AWAY NOW!!!!!) I can help you with yours.

Imagine the satisfaction that you will feel after it is done and you put in the hard work for yourself.

And as for the speedo sensor from memory you have to get a 32 gtr one as the standard rb25 sensor that goes into the gear box is electronic or something like that. I could be wrong though

I am doing this soon as well except im definitely doing it in a shop because i know i'll bugger it up hahaha. i got a quote from CRD in sydney (very respected workshop in sydney) and their quote was $3000 if there was no unforseen troubles. so yeah other places would definitely do it cheaper than that, CRD would definitely be one of the more expensive places but also one of the best.

hope that helps mate. also post your results so i know what im in for ;) haha

yeh i havnt got any solid quotes cause i know the second i hear the price ill run in the other direction, mostly because with the help of some friends i could do it at home, its just a matter of being bothered i suppose. you could wing taking the engine out of you're car and just intall the long motor and box, and get an auto sparky to do the wiring and a workshop to do the rest (surely cheaper than a full install) thats just my opinion though and i know nothing haha :P

there is a thread somewhere in the DIY section about the speedo sensor, something about using a narvara sensor and the r33 gts't cog from its sensor, there is also a DIY on the 25 conversion also i think

It depends, what box, what ECU any other mods you'll do while engine is out etc etc do some research

The guy who said a shop would charge 2k is dreaming. I used to know a bloke who would do this swap for around 2.5-3k hell ghetto though

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
