Rb25 Into Gtr

[xtra.5]

G'day guys. Just wondering if anyone knows if there is much involved in putting an RB25 into a 32 GTR?? (obviously its going to be RWD only)

I have searched, but could not come up with anything, but pls point me in right direction if theres something already there.

Will the engine mount up properly?

Can you just disconnect front drive shafts and leave them?

Will gearbox fit?

I pretty much know nothing, so any help would be great.

Thanx guys, Mike

just leave the 26 in there and make it rwd

yeh why would ya want to do that...must have a rolling shell or something...yes/no

[LTHLRB]

if you dont want the 26 anymore ill take it

for the rwd, just put in a dog box or an rb25box with the 26 still in there.

Yeah its a rolling shell.

Basically, i had/have an R32 GTS-T with an RB25 in it.

Last friday i stacked this car into a tree, and sent the fronts drivers side wheel (which was on full lock) through the floor of my drivers side foot well (luckily i had a roll cage). Chassis is kinked, so is shock tower. But everything else incl. engine, box, diff, rear and front left susp is all good.

Now i'm wondering what to do.

Ideally finding a rolling chassis would be perfect. Whether its a non-turbo or turbo chassis it doesnt really matter as i still have all my brakes/hubs and anything else required to changeover.

But there is not much in the way of rolling chassis' for sale. Except this GTR one. Which is why im so interested in this topic.

My only other option is that i could buy a stocky GTS-T for 7-8k and change everything over, and effectively rebuild my old car.

not a bad idea hen mate.. gtr shell is better looking aye...

Thats exactly what i was thinkin.

And considering this rolling chassis is about the same price as a stocky, im leaning towards the GTR.

I just gotta work out whats invloved.

Yea, but it defies the purpose of having a GTR if your going to stick an RB25 in it… maybe approach a Jap wrecking yard and offer a trade on your smashed R32 (remove all the useable parts first) for an GTR front cut… that way you will have an RB26DETT in a GTR as God intended

Best of luck!

Bolt your cross member in?

That would be nice, but unfortunately after writing off (what was) my daily driven car, with no comprehensive insurance, money is a bit tight.

But i'll see if any wrecker/importer is interested, and what i can come up with

money might be a issue maybe..

[andylaurel]

its should all bolt in fine.

[QRI05E]

Yea but if he can get a straight swap for his smashed R32 for a GTR front cut, then there shouldn't be a money issue...

[LTHLRB]

SLAP THE 25 IN!!

[666DAN]

FFS would be nice if someone just gave some decent advice instead of opinions in why he should put a 26 back in!!!!

Why not put a 25 in, work with what you have...hence why I turbocharged a 25GT

Go for it, hopefully someone will give you some in depth info about it, unfortunately I can't

[LTHLRB]

from what i know engine mounts are the same, all rb blocks are the same from memory.

and yes u can throw in a 25 box but im not sure about the gearbox mounts.

good enuf 666DAN?

if your saying money is tight then id simply shop for a gts-t shell again, redo your old care, if your planning on doing a rb25 conversion into gtr, the gtr shell vs gtst shell alone price would be great difference. yet alone having the hassle of the conversion, personaly i would just find another gtst shell and redo your previous weapon.
