Thank you.

Incase I am able to somehow come into a RB25 for cheap and that runs good, does anyone have links to posts about how to put a RB25 into a R32 with pictures? I found many posts but they don't have pictures. Also does any shops in Australia make the wiring loom for that swap?

swap two pins and run a VCT trigger, not rocket science

If I do not know what I am doing or what the items look like and have no pictures for reference, actually it is hard. From what I have read I have to splice RB25 injector loom onto the RB20 injector loom, mess with the main harness loom and more. Pics of the things and plugs I will have to cut and modify will help so I am not guessing.

For everyone who has done it before, easy, but for someone who doesn't know , not easy. If I do this in the future, I don't want to waste things.

For example, I found a post where someone has pictures of the speedos and how to modify them to work with the RB20 dash.

I have read some people say use the RB20 loom, some people say RB25 loom.

It is really VERY easy. You lay the RB25 Neo loom down on the floor. You lay the RB20 loom down next to it. You keep everything in the Neo loom that has to do with the engine and the ECU. You replace all the bits from the Neo loom that connect to stuff on the body that don't work the same as the R32 loom, with bits from the R32 loom. You probably need to have the wiring diagrams for each on hand to make sure you don't make some horrible mistakes. The diagrams are freely available. It will take you a couple of days once you start.

The air-con is a pain in the arse though. Still haven't quite got mine working. The R34 system is a tiny bit more sophisticated than the R32.

The speedo is easy. Just google the Navara speedo mod.

Patience is overwhelming in this and his other thread.

Does not compute. Feelings of rage rising seeing this thread continually appearing.

Master troll or complete numpty.

I think master troll at work, could be Christian himself causing a stir to bring activity back onto the forum.

No Troll, I am asking how to do something, I have searched and cannot find it but instead of help I get troll troll, ?????? Are you people f*&ked up?

Thanks! I found the Navara speedo cable mod earlier. It has pictures. So I'll research the ac fittings part. So you used a engine from a R34? Thanks

It has been said multiple times in this thread to use a RB25 neo, which comes from an R34.

The people here aren't f**ked up its that this forum attracts noticeably slow-minded people who don't usually listen and don't usually take advice.

I think a rb25 would be a choice mate. So would a rb26. But from a stock piont. The pistons ring lands are crap. For me it failed after 22 psi. Next it has a few oil problems when puched to hard. First the crank collar then the right oil restrictors according to oil pump and rpm your going to need all based on what restrictor size. Then you would want to vent the block and have a back up head drain for me on both sides of the motor worked well. Then if all of that works out. For me around 30psi the hydraulic lifters start to fail. So by saying that you can do what ive always wanted to do. Use a NEO head as its solid lifters already. I have found oil control in the rb25 way harder to control than a rb26. But it is possible. I would also invest in a oil accumulator and a bettet sump. There you go thats my experience as well as my 2 cents.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
