Hey all,

Lately i've been pondering all my options regarding my car etc and im having trouble selling it.

This is my situation.

P Plates, restricted to a non turbo car.

Own a 95 R33 GTS4 Auto (non turbo)

Also, it has a 4 stud wheel pattern.

I really like the car I have, the body and interior is immaculate and is mechanically better than A1. As much as i'd love a turbo car this is what I have. All the NA cars are 4 stud so that was something I couldnt avoid. However I shoot myself in the foot about getting an auto :(

Anyway, I dont want to pour great deals of money into a car that I would just sell in 2 years anyway to get a turbo. Now I know in a non turbo and RB25DET conversion is possible with the front cut swap?? But what is the situation with the GTS4? I understand it has the GTR drive line, so im guessing only a RB26DETT is possible to fit, or is a regular RB25DET also possible to fit to the all wheel drive system on my car? Also, if I was going to to do an engine conversion, so getting a front cut? Would that come with the manual gearbox etc? As I wouldnt be making the same mistake twice haha

Also, has anyone done a 5 stud conversion on their skylines? What is involved, cost etc? I'd want to get the bigger turbo brakes and what not as well as a new set of wheels anyway..

Thank you very much in advance all who help, I know this was very long winded.

-Macca

The "normal" RB25DET has a different sump pattern, so you can't swap your 4WD sump onto the RB25DET.

The Stagea has a AWD RB25DET, but the manuals are like chooks teeth (the vast majority are autos too). You might have to settle for a GT-R gearbox, unless you can find a manual one from the R32 GTS4.

Clearly, if you get a half-cut, then you get the good brakes as well.

An RB25 will fit, you cant use the GTS-T gearbox though, remember Stageas come with an RB25 and awd. Cheers blind elk, didnt know the sump patterns are different!

You would be best off buying a manual Stagea front cut with gearbox, that might be harder to find but you will/should get the gearbox/pedals/brakes etc etc.

To be honest you might as well save your money now and buy a turbo car later on...

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
