I bought a front cut of a r32 gts-t a month ago. Only to find out it was a r32 gt-four front cut.

Now I found out today from my mechanic. That it's a different engine and it's not all gonna bolt up. Something to do with the sump or some shit.

So i'll cut my loses and sell it, I'm looking for $1100 but no less than $1k

It is missing the front struts, radiator, qtr panels and headlights. As that is the way it came, even though he said it was only missing the qtr panels.

I am also willing to trade for an rb20det (from gts-t) with loom. I don't need the box as I have a 25 box already, or I will trade for an rb25det with loom and turbo with a cash adjustment from my behalf.

engine's virtually the same... sump is different as it has a front diff goin thru it. Converting it to fit a RWD car is the exact same process as modifying an RB26DETT to fit into a RWD car.

do you have the details on converting it to a rwd car and rough cost to do the conversion? As I don't want to sell it if It can be converted rather easily.

I have an aftermarket sump on my old rb20det engine. My mechanic seems to think that it can't be swapped. I should have taken pics of what he was talking about.

But if someone wants to swap or buy it off me over the next few weeks then I will do it. I just want my car back on the road a.s.a.p. It's been off the road since mid October

How many klms and condition?

I trust your judgement though, as you were going to use it on your car. Dude...change mechanics!!! I am sure can change the sump, however there will be a few holes remaining here and there.

Let me know if you need to sell and I'll bail you out!

it has 91k on the clock. I'll post up exact kms tomorrow. It doesn't have a problem starting, waiting for my mechanic to do a compression test. Maybe a leak down test as well. I'm having 2nd thoughts about selling the cut seeing it can be down if I cut the front diff and axles and welded it back up.

Will let you know and thanks for the offer :P

Pic of bottom of 4WD block. the small holes are for the 2WD sump. and the large on the outside are 4WD ones. hope it helps.

thanks very much Dsturbed and Gilly, they really do help. I just have to work out if it's worth selling it or modify the sump. I just need to find someone who can do it for cheap

I have a sump from a NA RB20 that should/could fit. Not sure what its worth?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
