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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
