Its a gts-x or whatever (im shit with r31 models, i know its 2 door but) so im pretty sure its an import. Whats so wrong with a microtec lol?

So this has been covered before, but everyone has different theories about this. I am about to convert my r32 gtst from a rb20 and box to an rb25 and box and have been told I need to mod the tailshaft to fit. I want to keep the cost down, so im looking at doing this the cheapest way possible. Im not going to be running crazy power, so I just want to modify the stock tailshaft to fit instead of going custom. Now I dont want to know your theory on it, just want to know what worked for you. I know I need a new yolk to fit the box, but do i need to shorten the shaft as well? If so, how much? Because the car is my daily, i cant have it off the road for any longer than a weekend, so i cant put motor and box in then measure it. I need to have it done and all ready to drop in. Thanks in advance.

Different Pat lol Yeah kinda, I know him through my missus. Nice car that blue one, I prefer it over his new one.

Thanks for that Mick. I am trying to avoid going custom because of the $$ factor. The place you are talking about in mitchell is M&A Engineering yeah? I work around the corner from them so ill go have a chat tomorrow about it. The bloke that I bought motor and box off had them in an r31 that used to have a 20det in it before the 25, so im curious if the shaft will be a straight swap into the 32? If so ill just buy it off him to save the hassle. He wont be needing it as he is aparently going custom to fit whatever box goes into it (wont be an rb). Im not looking for massive amounts of power, Motor has 175rwkw (got a dyno sheet from esp) on 6psi, so ill go 14psi once I get some splitfire coil packs. Motor has been rebuilt using acl gold bearings, aside from that has a HKS plenum, fleabay turbo (goes hard but) and microtec Ltx8 ecu. Not looking to push it more than that, its only in a 1200kg 32 after all lol. Just need to sell the 20 and associated stuff and its a go ahead. Reckon I could knock it over in a weekend with a few mates? We have had shitloads of experience with motor swaps and stuff so im guessing we should be able to. Cheers, Kyle

Anyone know how much I have to shorten the tailshaft by? Also, any recommendations as to where I should get it done?

The one weekend I happen to be working

Nah, silver. You didn't get your car off pat by any chance did you?

Ok, Iv got diagrams for both, so ill make a combined one, then figure out what wires i need. I guess if it was just plug and play it wouldn't be as fun.

Stinky, was this the thing you used? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=217295 Or the ones on justskylines?

In doing this I would need to re-map the ecu yeah? I have an r33 loom and computer, so I would rather just swap loom and ecu instead of paying through the nose to tune a stock motor (well, kinda stock). I have 2 looms and 2 ecus, one with the microtec (unsure whether it does VCT or not) and one without, so I can use either. Doing the wiring doesnt bother me, just there is a lack of diagrams out there.

Lol ^^ R33 gtst in Reid CIT carpark, and a grey R33 GTR parked along one of the back streets in braddon.

Has anyone in canberra done a rb25 into r32 conversion? I Just need to talk to someone about wiring, as the topics on here aren't too clear. I will be using the rb25 loom with r33 ecu and a microtec (model escapes me for now) and was curious about what wires etc need to be added/spliced to the r32 body loom/dash in order to keep aircon and wipers running as usual? Anyone got any suggestions or know about this? Original motor is an RB20DET manual. Hope that question is easy to understand, sounded clearer in my head haha.

Im guessing this is dylan and you were talking to dean? Police barely ever bother them and rarely give out defects unless you are being an arsehole. Mostly just RBT unless they see you doing skids etc. They will however put a note in their system on your car/license that you are connected with them. Stickes are rare because of the bad rep, but there are plenty of cars sporting the charity cruise one as they dont really say rushour on them.

Pm'd you.

Ill take it. PM'd you

Yep, i get the same after going from boots to barefoot, even in the skyline lol

As said above, checkers isnt there anymore, hasnt been for a few months. Im keen.

Hmmmm Ill be up there. Havnt decided if ill drive or just spectate as of yet. Hope to see you all up there.

Ill be at the drifting on saturday. Dunno if im driving as of yet, will see how finances go.

Ah ok, I thought that It might have told them in the computer or something.

While we are on the topic of rego, aparently all imports need to go over dickson to tranfer rego? Can anyone confirm this or would shopfront let it slide?

Hopefully I will be there, need to get rego first but.

Yeah, plenty of parking, though it hasn't been open the last couple of times I have been past (wednesday/thursday), so im not sure if its closed permanently or not.

Im guessing that means you fixed the oil pressure issue? What was it?

I hear stories about those nights all the time from a few of the guys I know, sounds like fun times were had.
