Hello

I have a R32 GTST with a RB20 DET.

I am planning to build the engine but before I do I want to get some info on the RB25.

What are its strengths and weaknesses?

How is it when put into a R32 GTST?

What are the pros and cons of putting that engine in a R32 GTST?

There have been literally millions of words written about this. Do a basic search first.

Ive done a search, I want to get up to date experiences. I spend about 8 hours plus research this on many sites.

Not just that, but we've all been saying it to Yoshii since he emerged, and those experiences are definitely up to date. I only did my Neo32 transplant a couple of years ago.

f**king awesome.

I read some things about the RB25 and I thought I read several places that something about the oil pump or something to do with the oil that the RB25 has trouble with more compared to the RB20. I've actually heard a few people where I live mention the 25 is not all of that and its keep what I have or go RB26 or GTR(This is from tuning shops also). So I want to hear from people who have the engine in their car and who has done the change so I can ask about how it drives, speed, etc. Reading old posts from years ago(which I have) is not going to completely help because I am not going to try to PM someone or reply to a 2-10 year old posts.

I dont know how to express my laughter at that post. What an outrageous response.

Implying that there is not enough documentation about a) how the motor performs and b) WELL KNOWN oil issues

Its almost the single most popular conversion ever

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

Maybe you don't understand, I am wanting to speak to someone here and now so I can ask that person hear and now. Maybe I have specific questions about the engine or their experiences with the engine, what problems they may have had, what things that helped them, etc.

I reckon I'll be buried with mine..................gunna be crowded though, already have two motorbikes to throw in as well. Any vehicle that can be pushed as hard with a standard motor - such as the humble RB25 or 26 - to the point where you can get more than twice the power output for every day reliable street use for stuff all $$$ and TBH minimal mods deserves respect.

I honestly cannot see the point of your thread.........but its a free world until you shoot someone!!!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • 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.
