It cost me around $6500. But you could probably do it for as little as $4000

do u reckon it was worth the money?

i have an R33 gtst atm, but i just love the R32 look and would also LOVE an r32 with lots of power but not pay the crazy amount insurance as u would with a gtr

Yes, as my car was a R32GTS25 before hand, I went from 95 rwkw to 165 rwkw. I love the power to weight it now has, and with the RB25DET on board it will be relatively easy to get more power if desired. I'm the same as you in that I do not like the look of the R33, and am very fond of my car (as I've had it for about 5 years).

In hindsight though I could have sold the car (before the engine change) and used the cash I would have spent on modifying to buy a R32 GTR.

my car is in the same process. the motor is in using

Rb25det Series II motor

RB20det Gearbox

RB20 Loom, (modified)

RB20 ECU

RB25 throttle body with rb20 TPS

RB25 coilpacks and injectors,

So far has cost me around 2000 and the car is running :)

putting a microtech in this week. final cost will be around 3000 running.

I have been doing this over the last 2 weeks so info is still fresh if anyone needs any help.

just ask :rofl:

Cheers

great info guys!!!

I have found an auto elec to do the job although I have to wait until the week after easter for him to do the loom. He charges $550.

Cant wait to get the car back, its killin me.

How much power am I likely to make with the rb25 on 13psi with power fc, blitz fmic, full apexi exhaust, pod, and bosch 044 pump???

Those would be the obvious power up mods.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
