SWAP RB20 FOR RB25 IN 1998 GTS-T - I KNOW THERE ARE ANSWERS HERE BUT HARD TO FIND

Hi All,

New to Skylines so need a few answers - I've looked in the forum and while I'm sure my questions have been answered before, but finding it hard to get definitive answers for my particular situation.

I have a 1998 GTS-T track car. RB20DET, R33 Turbo (unsure of specifics), RB25 gearbox.

PROBLEM: Hole in side of engine due to rod trying to escape. 

REQUIREMENT: Transplant later model RB25DET NEO from AWD R34 Stagea into said R32 GTS-T.

QUESTIONS: (I know some of these are simple for you Gurus but humour me, please!)

1. What are the fitting issues with migrating to RB25DET? Engine mounts, peripherals, etc.

2. Why is it an issue whether the RB25 is an AWD or RWD model? What needs to happen?

3. What other issue and solutions are there with this transplant? 

I'm sure there will be other questions I have as the discussion continues.

Thanks.

This has been covered so many times it's not even funny.

1. What are the fitting issues with migrating to RB25DET? Engine mounts, peripherals, etc.
Engine mount brackets, accessory pumps/brackets, wiring loom and ecu, heater hoses, Inlet piping etc etc you get the idea. The engine itself fits fine, it's everything else you need to think about.

2. Why is it an issue whether the RB25 is an AWD or RWD model? What needs to happen?
Replace AWD sump/diff with a RWD sump.

3. What other issue and solutions are there with this transplant? 
Google it, too much to list.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
