Correct me if i am wrong, but that looks like an rb20 engine.  Note the pleniem, oil breather hoses and cam belt cover.

(If i am wrong i will happily delete this post)

Hi Guys,

I myself have never seen the car. When imported, I was told that it was RB25DET. As for the 'out of R33' - this only refers to the 5spd, not the engine. I guess the only way to find out would be for me to get an engine number. Personally, I would have thought that the dyno figures ( done by a company I have never had any association with - they were simply near where the car was located) would suggest that there is no way it could be RB20DET. And why anyone would stick an IHI C7 on such a small block. STill, you guys are the techos, so feedback welcome. In the interim, why don't I get an engine number....Oh, as for the earlier postings, I thought that R32 had optional RB25DET fitted from 92/93. cheers.

Not all RB25's had variable cam timing, but that engine does look like an RB20, the outlet on the side of the block for the top radiator hose is the same as RB20, the 25's had the hose fed straight into the side of the head. The plenum looks different to my RB25 too.

my old r32 gtst supposidly had an rb25det, it looked slightly diff to my new 89 model, and it went alot harder then my 89 model does, i.e my old one was as fast as my new one with only 10 psi, while my new one with an fmic, bigger fuel pump, better exhaust, 13psi isnt that much faster, and my old engine looked exactly the same as that except it had the cover over the coil packs, and didnt have a high mount turbo etc, was all standard

Hi All,

Hope this is of no shock to you when I tell you that the engine number is RB25005146A

Guess it's an RB25DET after all......... : )

So after all that fascinating conjecture, is anyone interested in this RB25DET GTS-T?

And can anyone explain to me how I come to have an RB25 with RB20 characteristics? ( I'm asking you this so you don't ask me, as I don't have the first clue)....

PRICE DROP TO $20K. That's $63 per rwKw. Much better value than a Ssangyong Musso.

As mentioned above, the rb25 did come out in the last of the 32's (was improved for the 33's). Your interior has blue gadges, which indicate a early model 32, you never know what these crazy Japs do when modifing their cars :D.

just for info guys, the rb25 that was put into r32's didnt have vvt which is why it has no lumps on it, the only physical way of checking the difference between 25 and 20 heads is by measuing the valve sizes internally(2 hard 2 do for just curiosity) - the 20 heads have smaller valves at 30mm where the 25 heads have 35mm valves which is why most use the r32 25 head for rb30det build ups, hope this helps clear up the looks of the engine.

happy driftn!!!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
