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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
