Hey guys

I hate to say this but i am a toyota nut! Have been for many years now and i am a member of toymods car club australia but recently my interst in skylines has become stronger and stronger and really want to buy one for my next car. The car i am looking at getting is a GTS r32 4dr as i really have a passion for the 4dr skylines.

Anyways just thought i would say hi!

Cheers Dean

So your passion only extends as far as buying one of the crappest skylines available?

don't be harsh on the newbie... not everyone has the same tastes/priorities in life as you.

welcome, and hope you can gain as much knowledge from here to make your skylining experience enjoyable.

hey mate

nice to see another one that has seen the stovetop lights.

seriously though.... there is more than just the engine that is different on the turbo and non turbo models...u'd be better off buying a gtst 4dr, atleast then you can sell the engine to recover some cash for your rb25... noone wants to pay much for an anchor though.

cheers

what happened to ur rb25 shan?

block's sitting in my garage recieving some TLC and hopefully soon some arias pistons. head's at a workshop, waitin to get polished when they get some spare time. Been spending more and more money and time in fixing the AE86's drivetrain n stuff so that it better suits the CA18, so my R32's is less of a priority. I want to have a good track car (not for drift like all the monkeys I speak to seem to assume) with all the problems fixed before it sees some serious work.

besides chris, where I work I get to drive all sorts of fun cars, so I don't really have the same urges as a pimply lil kid with an overpowered R33 GTSt :rofl:

De@No, buy or import an R32 4 Door GTSt or a cefiro... its a lot cheaper in the long run and a lot less headaches as an RB20 to RB25 swap isn't that easy... I'll be bold and say an RB20 to RB26DETT is an easier swap.

I thought the conversion wouldnt be that hard are the engine mounts different...ISnt the rb25det an alot more stronger motor than the rb20det and can withstand modification alot more?

i dunno... i looked at the wiring loom of an RB25 and an RB26 and the RB26 wiring loom looks more like hte RB20 one than the RB25 one.

I guess things like water pumps and fuel pumps have to be changed regardless. Maybe its just me thinking I've done the wrong thing by goin with an RB25 swap :D

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
