Rb25 Into 32 Gtr

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
