Hey guys.. im new to the forum and thought id get in straight away and try to get an answer to my question..

I have just bought my first r32 and it has had a rb25det conversion from the previous owner.. when i bought the car the motor has been blown and i now have to swap it out for another..

I have a mate that is willing to sell me an rb25det neo on the cheap.. good kms and good engine.. I would like to put it into my 32 but have been reading that this conversion is a little bit of a pain in the behind due to different wiring etc.. My questions...

Is this conversion worth it?

Will i have heaps of problems with the wiring?

Any parts i will have to change or are most interchangable?

Has anyone done this before?

Is there a wiring service that i can send the loom/looms to that can wire it for me?

I would love all the information anyone can muster at this stage.. as I want my car up and running...

Thanks in advance!! ;)

there should be plenty of info if you have a search on the forums.

i wouldnt think there would be a great deal of difference between a 25det and a neo 25det, especially when all the hard work has been done already swapping the rb20 for an rb25 in the past

Wiring wise the Neo is completely different to the R33 25's. The head is also a fair bit different. I'm wondering though how a Neo would run on earlier electronics, would save a lot of f**k around as you'd basically just need to pull and replace the engine.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
