hello would anyone be able to help me with finding a resonibly good engine to drop into my r32 gtst i was think along the lines of a rb25de or an rb26 but i have change the mounts over and theres alot more detial that goes with a 4wd engine i would rather get a front engine rear wheel because i do belive its better on economy and i really need some advice cos i want to beable to build to a peak of acceleration and handling would anyone know of good pats for an rb25de

because the rb20 i have now is shit

any advice would be great

life is what you make of it not how it treats you

i want to add the following if i buy the rb25de....

apexi power fc, hand controller and boost controller kit

z32 air flow meter

hks 2530 or ax53b70 turbocharger or t04e/garrett gt30

r33 or r34 gtr front mount intercooler

full 3.5" exhaust system, including hiflow cat, dump pipe and front pipe

255 rear tyres or 265 tyres

im not sure weather i should or not till i know what would be a better engine for my skyline

buy an rb25det and add those bits, the compression in the rb25de will limit what boost you can run to about 7psi tops. the 2530 and ax53b70 will take heaps more boost than 7psi

it would be silly to add those bots to rb25de, rb25det and above bits should get you 240rwkw

I have done a RB25DET conversion on my R32. I highly recommend it, the hardest problem to overcome is converting the wiring to run the new computer. Aside from that, everything drops in and bolts up.

ryno

is the compression ratio very diffirent to the rb20det or is it roughly the same

because i have asked around but the idiots up here no nothing about imports there all ford fans

life is what you make of it not how it treats you......

i think u mean u wanna go a rb25det not de

DE is non turbo and slower than a rb20det

a rb26dett isnt a 4WD motor

the motor is normal like a 20/25

its just the GTR has a 4WD gearbox

if u put a rb25det or rb26dett motor in u better get a R33 turbo gearbox because the R32 gearbox will go bang

sorry scarfier i miss spell when i type to fast sorry mate i was thinkin of putting an rb26det in it but i dont i will becuase it involves awhole lot of bull that i really dont want to go into because i know so much but thank you or you input and advice would u know anything about the standard turbo on the rb25det to a 2530 turbo i want to build it strickly for acceleration what would be the best idea for a minuim $$$ roughly about 15 grand worth

sorry scarfier i type to fast sometime and miss spell words, when i thought about the idea i was contemplating putting a 4wd engine in it but it involves to much piss farting around so anyways if i replace the standard turbo i got on it would i be able to replace it with a bigger turb and would it give me roughly around 7 to 9 psi of boostkeeping in mind that it wil limit me as someone has already given me advice on it what is your oppinion on this

kee[ing in mind this would involve me replaceing the standard features on my car already

the plan........

apexi power fc, hand controller and boost controller kit

z32 air flow meter

hks 2530 or ax53b70 turbocharger or t04e/garrett gt30

r33 or r34 gtr front mount intercooler

Hmmm you need some explanations as you obviously arent all that familiar with what you want to do.

RB25DE (as u stated) is an NA engine out of the factory with and hence compression will impair your wish to boost.

RB25DET is a turbo engine out of the factor which will have better compression for boosting.

RB26DETT is the GTR motor, you do not have to run it in 4WD config as it is the gearbox and electronics on the GTR which enable the 4WD, not the engine. So it is quite easy to set it up as RWD.

Once you understand what each engine is, then you can proceed and select which one you think you would like.

Is your R32 turbo already? if so, then there is nothing wrong with the RB20DET engine in the first place unless it is cooked.

Why would you want a standard R33 side mount cooler, or GTR cooler. Obviously it's not because you're trying to save money since you are thinking of upgrading turbos and the likes. I think you need to do a little more research about oyur car before you do anything to it.

Also, perhaps the mods could move this to the correct Forced Induction forum.

Hope this helps, I was trying not to be too critical.

ok to clean this up for u

if u put a GTR motor in your car

its easy

u need to do these things

buy a R32 GTR engine with loom

it bolts straight in and the loom fits

get a wolf3d V4 so u dont need bigger AFM's

buy a R33 TURBO gearbox

get a good strong puck clutch or twin plate

put a bosch 040 fuel pump in

get the tailshaft refabricated to fit the R33 turbo gearboxall up it should cost u near the 12 to 14k mark

otherwise its a turbo bolt on

like a 2530 fuel pump etc etc

if i was u id go and read on the forums before u ask stuff

u obviously dont have much idea of what fits what and that

i dont know alot about NA engines considering this is NA forum and i have read some of the post in other sections of the forum. I thought i would ask some more experienced people because i do not want to put a gtr engine in the car as i do not like the gtr's an they are way to commen to see.....

the reson i am asking you guys this is because i thought the rb25det was the na before i bought it then i got some more info on it before purchasing it and it's a turbo engine and consider i like the na look better i thought i could ask some real people who know something about these engine and what i can do at Miniumal expense.......

i was looking at rb26det but i already new i would need a r33 turbo gearbox for obveous resons but i dont like the engine i have in it now i know theres nothing wrong it because i just want to do and engine change over becuase the the rb20det is going to be a put in a 180 hopefully so that i know but back to what i was saying i know alittle of lilttle ok it's not like i have spent yrs in yrs in imports shops and perfomance place to under stand what u guys are seeing this as.....

i would just like some advice

You probably won't need to swap gear boxes (depending on what sort of power you're chasing). I've got a RB25DET in my R32, and the gearbox is holding up fine. I know a guy in NZ that only started breaking R32 gear boxes when he got to 250 rwkw (he wanted to keep the R32 GTSt box, because of the weight saving over the R33 one)

im glad u think other peoples problem an ideas are funny drifto...

i would hate to see u idea of a project

yeh ryno thats right i spoke to a guy at g-tech performance and he said that same thing only that once i hit about 260 270 kw i will have to look at a stronger gear box but im still concerned about the compression and power to weight ratio on the car body not that it wiould have a major effect on the car

work out if you wanna mod up your rb20det (which should be fine) or do a full engine swap. i dont think say 200 odd rwkw warrants an engine swap, of course its totally upto you.

the rb25det should be able to do about 250rwkw with stock bits just updated bits as follows:

apexi power fc, hand controller and boost controller kit

z32 air flow meter

hks 2530 or ax53b70 turbocharger or t04e/garrett gt30

r33 or r34 gtr front mount intercooler

full 3.5" exhaust system, including hiflow cat, dump pipe and front pipe

255 rear tyres or 265 tyres

twin plate clutch

r33 gtr fuel pump

not sure what power you would from an rb20det with same mods, less because of capacity size (of course) and also compression level. the rb20det runs higher (i tihnk) compression and more boost then rb25det

whast your power level target? how many rwkw?

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
