Circumstances have left me with an R33 RB25DET and a R32 GTR shell, and not much cash.

I have searched for this before, but couldn't find anything concrete, just people telling not to do this for X reasons, but I have some mechanical questions to do this conversion, and what actually needs to be done. Im set on this swap, and I won't be rebuilding the 26 lump.

Question is, the RB25 I have came from a RWD car, so is it a matter of finding a GTST subframe, replacing the GTR subframe with it, and the engine bolts right in?

also, is a GTST driveshaft needed? or the RB25 transmission ends up bieng in the same place to use the GTR driveshaft?

Last question, If I were to source a 4WD RB25, would it bolt up to the RB26 oilpan and transmission?

Also, if I would have a RB25DE block from a 4WD GTS, would the RB26 oil an and transmission bolt up to it?

Since I already have all the RB26 stuff, it might be cheaper just to bolt in a RB25DE long block if its compatable.

again, rebuilding the RB26 is out of the question.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
