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

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

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
