hey man thanks for that, i went and checked out some half cuts today and i think I’m going to go with buying a half cut and then do the conversion myself, as for the tail shaft that will probably be my biggest concern but besides that all should be sweet. The pits hopefully will go all well and don’t worry i won’t cut any corners i mean if im going to do it, i might as well do it all right at once so i don’t have problems later on down the track. Cheers

hey buddy, As Gordon said there is a DIY on it.. here the link man http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...l=rb25+into+r32

hey guys flash89 - yer man i saw that DIY also and read through it and my plan was to actually go for a rb25 box at the same time reason for that being is my rb20 box has lost reverse .. And for the licensing that sounds pretty good man i thought it would have been way more but that’s a not to bad. fly wheel wise i actually brought a rb25 flywheel a while back so its sitting around somewhere in the shed.. Will have to dig through the parts r32 Driver- hey man was looking at just basically going for a half cut from uncle ben so that way i get the box and engine at once and whatever i have left i.e brakes ill either transfer over myself or just end up selling it on forum. I'll defiantly go have a talk to Ben tomorrow and see what he says about everything and at the same time get a ruff estimation price for everything..do you know by any chance if the clutch in the rb20 is able to be used on the rb25 box.. The reason i ask this is because i changed my clutch to a heavy duty brass button exedy about 2 months back. Thanks for all the help guys, Niran

Hey mate that’s what i was thinking about the price also hence why i thought to go for it now and that way while i have it at home outside the car i could install all new water lines and vac lines and also get the rocker cover and all painted up before having to drop it in.. yer that is true about the gearbox.. hmm i think it should be alright and that’s what i was thinking as long as i remove the cover that says rb25 i don’t think the cops would be able to tell much difference.. However my problem what about the engine number itself for the engine? as it would not match up with the VIN plates.

Sell the gtst and buy a r32 GTR that is slightly upgraded that way you have a fun car that you won’t have to upgrade for a while and therefore you can focus more on saving for a house

Hey every one i basically posted this in WA section because i thought it was relevant as i have a few questions about pits in WA. I just need some help.. ive been planning to put a rb25det and gearbox into my r32 sometime soon.. i have found a person who is selling the motor by itself for $1500 and it comes with the following(as stated by seller): "Compression tested absolutely fine, can guarantee it's a running motor. Has turbo coils,injectors,fuel rail, some fuel lines,all vaccum lines,plenum,throttle body,sump,pick up.its a COMPLETE motor,everything for it to start and go vroom,aka it has everything that's attached to the motor minus gearbox,and starter motor etc etc. It's a front cut motor.has all looms and ecu and relays. no cooler. Has std induction piping. NO SHAFT PLAY IN TURBO has oil lines. That's all i can really think off, has oil pump too. yeh,that's all it really. Motor run sweet in the 32 but now it's time for it to go std so i can sell it with rb20. NO FLY WHEEL either." Basically I would first of all like to know should I go and buy this engine and then later buy a box again when I have the money and then do the conversion into my car. Secondly should I do it myself or should I go to Kyp and get them to install the engine and gearbox. Also would it be better if I brought this and then gave to kyp/do it myself or should I just save up more money and then buy a half cut from kyp themselves and get them to install everything at the same time? Some more questions I have is what else would I need to have this conversion done.. so far Im basically thinking I need the fly wheel, starter motor, gearbox, clutch.. What else? And would somebody be able to clarify do I need to use a shorter tail shaft and how would I go by doing this (make a custom on, install a rb25 one or can I simply just use the rb20 tail shaft). I would also like to know if I did choose to do the conversion myself how hard would it be to get over pits? How much does it cost to book it in and get all the plates changed (engine number) and so on. Final question is, the engine itself is out off the car (the rb25 that's for sale) how would I be able to check to see that the engine is in good condition and compression throughout the cylinders are good? Thanks all help and opinions appreciated Niran

Thanks for that

Hey man Yer im good thanks yourself ? um actually yer it does aye, my turbo had the number 45v3 im pretty sure.. If you want more info on this turbo, i had put that question up a while back. the link is http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Vg30-Turbo-t235837.html Reading through it i don’t think mine is actually a ball bearing.. But yer mate read through that all the info will be there Cheer's niran

Hey guys went looking last weekend and i had no luck in gateways however did find 3-4 at posterguys, for any one else who might ever want to buy some also.. Cheers, Niran

Hey mate Me and my mate got both our car's safc tuned from all star garage, and was both queit happy with the results

ah sorry man i think i was ment to say longer rods, shorter strokes? or am i just wrong all together Niran

Wow this is an old post i never checked it until now, dw that was when i was a bit immature. The rb20 is still going strong but I’ve been doing some research in comparison into the rb20 vs rb25 like 2 quick said the rb20 shows great results in strength specially as the rods are shorter and also the engine can rev out a big higher.. However the rb25 can spool bigger turbo’s and get bit more power out off it compared to what the rb20 can. I’m still in the process of really deciding guess I’ll keep on reading and keep asking people on this forum what they would choose and why.. Thanks guys Niran

Hey guys Was thinking i have put the AVCR back to stop settings but still no change.. was thinking if i wrote down the settings on the safc on a peice off paper and then set the safc back to stock settings, would this cause any problems or should it be fine? Could the safc cause any off this? Thanks niran

Hey man I was trying to get a T4R3i because i am planning on installing a rb25 later on.. if i did choose this turbo where abouts would full boost kick in with the rb20det engine? and how much is the turbo + shipping Thanks

Hey man sorry i didnt mean the tr41i, i was ment to say the tr43i. thanks

hey man.. i will look into that more this week and see the prices of them, secondly i just had a question which was how much did the hyper gear tr41i cost you? ive checked the website however it says comming soon ? Thanks every one for the help Niran

Hey guys let me edit the first post a bit even around 340 rwhp with the rb25 is fine, if that makes the turbo choice any easier ?

Hey every one Ok as you may know if you have read my last topic I have been having some issues most likely with my turbo and if it is out on its way I was looking at something else to get.. The reason the title states rb20 and 25, is because at the moment I have a rb20 however towards the end of this year/early next year I’m planning on putting a rb25 in my car, so what I’m asking for basically is what do you guys reckon would be a turbo that i could buy now and would suit the rb20 (don’t mind if there is a slight lag) and then also be optimum for a rb25 setup.. The power figures I’m aiming for in the rb25 is approx. 350-380 rwhp. Also do you guys reckon I should buy a cheap r33 stock turbo for now and then when I buy a rb25 then buy a new bigger turbo, or would it be easier just buying a good one once that would work out on both engines.. Thanks Guys Niran

Buckets - hey man, yer still doing it after i got the clutch put it, and nah have stock cam gears it sounds like a turbo noise as it just does not pull unless if my fuel pump isn't getting enough voltage to pump fuel through is my only other idea left.. thanks

Hey mate, yer man thought it was clutch so i ended up putting a new exeddy brass button one.. Thanks , niran

Hey buddy I tried what you advised and turned my boost down in small increments, and in the end as you would know the avcr can have 2 settings A and B so i didn’t touch the tune setting, and changed to B and put all the basic settings again.. it doesn’t screw up as bad however it still comes and goes.. Ill try removing my safc or again if it has a setting a and b i will return it to standard also and see how it goes.. if that doesn’t work my plan was to get it on a dyno to make sure exactly what’s going on.. Thanks, Niran

Maybe you both are right.. i don’t think this turbo is a ball bearing turbo as it doesn’t spin for a long period of time when you flick it with your fingers.. pipster- i will keep playing around with the safc and see if anything gets better hypergear- i will keep in contact with you. Thanks , Niran

Dam that sucks . hmm just wondering mate how much would it cost to highflow/rebuild the vg30? and also is it worth rebuilding a turbo like this? Thanks man for your help

Hey mate i removed the turbo and checked for shaft play it doesn’t move side to side, however it moves forward and back 1-2mm give or take.. However when i spin it by hand it makes a slight hum noise? Could the bearing be gone? if so would it stuff up my power like this and cause it not to pull?
