hey mate, i'm currently undergoing the same type of conversion - car will be finished sometime next week, hopefully bout tuesday or so

First, secure yourself a good, decent half cut that's complete with ecu, wiring loom etc.

Next, you might want to cange the timing belt and water pump. The tailshaft and yoke need to be modified to fit into the 32, as well as the gearbox mount. Thermofan might have to be used as i don't think there's enough room for normal fan.

DO a search and you'll find more detailed info on it. This is just a quick run down. If i've missed anythin let me know

good luck

Hi Guys,

With the tailshaft I used the front piece from the 33 as it goes straight into the back of the rb25 gearbox and the back piece of my orignal one as it goes straight into the back of the diff. The tailshaft will have to be sent to a specialist to be balanced and shortned.

With the rb25 loom you will also need to find someone that knows what they are doing to wire it up to the 32. I waited 3-4 weeks or so for a guy I wanted to do the job. As I didn't know it was going to be a problem I wasn't prepared and had to wait all of that time.

There is a thread on how fix the speedo drive problem. I bought a gtr drive that fits into the gearbox and fitted the rb25 wheel on it.

I also had my hicas disabled with a lock kit.

Make sure when you guys get an engine that you check the stud bolts on the exhaust manifold. It is a common problem for the heads to snap off. While the engine is out make the most of it and change them. Although when doing so you will have to change the manifold gasket also.

Take Care

hey, just a question with the speedo - i've been told the rb25 box runs off an electronic source for the speedo, and replacing it with a late model r32 dash or GTR dash will fix the problem, can anyone confirm or clear this up for me?

i did this in my garage all i needed was a thermo fan and someone to wire up ecu if your in sydney this bloke will do it jim 0415904947 your standard rb20 box will bolt straight up if the engine is standard it will last but with any more than 200kw at wheels you will blow the box this happened to me 3 times also use rb20 engine mounts put egine and gearbox together and put it into car in one hit. much easier. one other thing is heater hoses jus make small adapters on passenger side when goes through firewall any other ? pm goodluck

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
