The S1 Dayz I have is atm an auto, 4WD. I toyed with the idea of going RB30 but I have been given an RWD, rebuilt RB25DET, Skyline motor. There are no mounting points on this motor on which to bolt the front diff. So I either change to RWD or rebuild the blown motor or get another 4WD motor. Personally I like the 4WD. But------ if I go RWD will i have to change the ecu? Or just leave the front axles out and pull the 4WD fuse?

And I am not sure that the Skyline RB25DET motor is entirely compatible without having to change a lot of stuff. For instance will I have to change the ecu?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Sounds like way too much effort for an average result.

Sell the 25 and put the kesh towards rebuilding your 25 or going a 30 with your existing gear.

Did you get an ecu with the DET? Your n/a ecu will not work for the DET. And you have to find a way to stop your front wheels falling off.

I don't think there is an easy solution.

Do you know if the DET has been rebored? You could maybe pull out the DE and rebuild it with parts from the DET. You might also need a new loom as well as an auto DET ecu and if the DET already has the turbo, bov etc you would just need an intercooler (and maybe some better brakes).

I reckon a rebuild of your current donk is likely the easiest solution. Not a full on ZOMGFORGED type build, but depending on how "blown" the current set up is, a set of slugs, maybe rods (although I'd be surprised if they were required) and a good going over to check the crank and block.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
