Is there anyone that has tried or even considered sticking a VH45DE in an R33 GTS25t? I was curious if it would even fit between the towers.

See the article below for short writeup on the VH45DE (208kW, 400Nm)

Damn . Soo much for being original.

Hmmm wonder how much i can flog my RB25DET, Power FC, Cut and shut Plenum, Stainless intercooler plumbing, ARE intercooler (600x300x75), 3.5inch dump of turbo for and how much a 2002 VH45DE, Autronic, full exhaust and fitting will cost.

If there are only mm spare when fitting a VH45DE would a VH41DE fit more easily.

Not that i am a V8 head but i would love to hear what that guy from QLDs skyline sounds like.

What gearbox did they use in the S13??

I checked with Dellow and they do not do an adaptor plate for the RB25 box.

I would probably go for the auto box anyway since i am tired of shifting gears all day every day. Its alright when you are racing to have a manual but for getting through traffic auto is the way to go and with 4.5ltr V8 in a R33 it would be relaxing.

KamikazeR33 who is SST? Do you have a phone number?

redline2003 (tongue in cheek when i say this) for even suggesting a gen3 motor you should delete that post. Of all the things an overhead valve truck motor in a "performance" car...... That is a joke.

Still on redline2003. I wouldnt stick this motor in an NA shell, the brakes are too small and yes NISSAN ALL THE WAY. I have been hunting around for some way of getting a manual behind the VH45DE but the only way i can see i can get a V8 in my skyline and keep it manual is to use a 1uzfe (toyota 4L V8) which i am not really interested in at all. But as i have said previously i would probably stick with an auto (just wish they had a 5sp auto).

I have checked a few wreckers and they want arounf $2800 for a 1994 Ifinity half cut. I couldnt get a turbo high flowed and a my RB25 bolted together with an RB30 for that plus fitting. Ontop of that the VH45DE is an incredibly tough motor. I am told by a mate it has 6bolt mains and the crank is drop forged.

My friend has the only V8 silvia in Perth.. that we know of. and its VH41DE not 45.

He did the whole conversion himself with a little help from a good engineer, took him a long time to do, including deciphering an entire Infiniti loom, modifying steering column & rack, entirely new cooling system including redesigned water pump outlets. Some would say there wasnt alot done to it to get it to bolt in, but its the many hours spent on the small details which made it work. Those who heard it at Speedworks when it was started will testify to its quality :rant:

Wouldnt be too difficult to do it in an R33 of course. Little bit more engine room and it actually might fit under the bonnet (which it doesnt on a silvia).

And I wouldnt get too confident about having a manual. My mate has stuck with the Infiniti auto for now since every option he pursued, such as 300ZX boxes, RB boxes and just about anything else with a Nissan badge, didnt bolt up.

What you really want is a VK56DE out of a Nissan Titan! :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
