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!

D

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

  • 3 weeks later...
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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
