Hello all,

I am thinking about getting a r32 of some age.

I want a reliable engine with a fair bit of power.

Just weighing up some options. Will a hr32 fit a rb26 out of a 33 or a 32 quite easily will need special mounts? How much is a half cut of a 32 or 33 gtr going for these days?

What about a rb25? similar question how much for installation and how much for a half cut?

Thanks for your help.

(I tried searching didnt show anything i was specifically after)

I think R32 GT-R half-cuts are around 6G, RB25 can be had for around 3G - check the advertisers in Zoom! / HPI.

The RB26DETT needs some minor mods on the engine mounts (I think) to fit a GTSt. The RB25DET drops straight in. I've done the swap, and with aftermarket ECU it punches 180 kW thru 4 wheels (mine is a GTS4). That is on 10psi and 95 octane fuel. (This is up from a mighty 115 awkW that the RB20DET punched out.)

everything is pretty much the same, there is a member in the vic section that i know who has a gts-4 with an rb26 in his car when he bought it,

id say if u want a no frills engine swap then go blind elks conversion, the 25 fits straight in with very little mods as mentioned and the power gained is more than adequate for a 32 gtst and id say more worth it than a 26dett.

Think about this

A tidy R32GTSt $12000

RB26 halfcut $6000+

R33 GTST G/box $1500

Custom driveshaft $500

Labour to fit and wire $2000 easy even if you do most of the easy stuff yourself.

If you want an RB26 I'd be looking at R32 GTRs for $22-25k

I just got my RB25DET (series 2) and I was hoping you could help me with some questions.

My Skyline is non turbo so it will be a big step with the RB25.

Now then, my first question is about the gearbox mounts, I hear they aren't the same and I will also have problems with the speedo meter. What do you know about this? Can I use the Xmember of the R33 ??

The second is about the harness, everyone that has ever swapped an engine told me that the harness is the most difficult part of the swap. Do you have the diagram of the R32 and the R33 (still can't find it for the R32) and some pointers on how this is done??

Hope to get a reply from you soon

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
