Hey mate, why don't you just buy mine. Its an R32 with an RB25DET conversion! Anyway, the engine itself in good nick should only be around $2500-3000 with the loom n ecu. You will save yourself heaps if you do the installation urself with some mechanic mates as the labour is the real killer when it comes to overall cost. The previous owner of my car did this (He was 1st aussie owner of the car) which I had professionally inspected and everything was mechanically sound. Once all in, you will need an engineer's certificate to approve the mods cause you've increased the capacity of the engine, & any other mods, etc. Good luck - Hope this helps.

here's a rough breakdown of my costs for stuff from japan, i've got an RB20DE in my 32 GTS...

RB25DET engine - $1500 from a Series 1 R33 with wiring loom

Power FC + hand Controller + EBC usually goes for $1300 from supplier (i got a secondhand one for $900)

HKS Intercooler - $800

TD06 + manifold + wastegate + AFM - $1500

Shipping it all in a container roughly $400, haven't done it yet, will be leaving on the 20th

Putting it all together... hehe doin it all myself with a few mates.

Although if you're goin for stock gear it should be at least $3000 cheaper.

Mind you these are all AUD and also i pulled a few strings.

Putting in an R33 engine with a stock R33 ECU is a pain in the ass apparently because the sensor readings are all different on an R32.

I;ve got wiring diagrams for both cars so if you want em let me know.

hey yeah funky monkey would i be able to have the R32 and R33 wirring loom, as my mate has converted his car engine but he cant do the wirring loom so he has sent it away to be done and they can not do it either, so he is trying to track them down so he can do it.

He has converted a R32 gts to a R33 gts25 (yeah i know why not a gts25t, well thats because he is south african and we can not understand the shit he does sometimes)

yeah the gear box and dif out of a r32 gts25 will hold and also a gts-t gear box and diff will hold however the gts-t gear wont last as long as the gts25 gear box, then it all depends on how much boost you run and how you treat your baby. gts25 gear is around 2500 and a gts-t is around about 1300 dollars so the other alternative is to run a weaker clutch so if that gives you wont have to fork out as much money on the gear box......... the gear boxes in the gts 25 are the same as the gts25t andyway.....................

I don't plan on running high boost all the time, only when I'm on the track. Other times the car's used as a daily driver so I doubt the gearbox will get a thrashing.

The box will only give if I drive it like a d!ck and race everyone I see at a traffic light. I'm not into that shit anymore so I'm sure the gearbox will last a lil while, might have to change the clutch. I'll replace the parts as they give, coz the resale value of an R32 gearbox is pityful.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
