Rb25 In R32 Sedan Woes

[typ21r]

Hey guys just looking for a bit of help here....my mate is having an RB25DE auto put into his R32 four door and at the moment he is having trouble finding an exhaust for it, he only wants to get something cheap and reliable just so he can get it out of the workshop as the guy is really stuffing him around. the tradey is quoting $1000 for the exhaust but i think that is ridiculous for what my mate is looking for...any suggestions or help would be great, as my mate is getting soo frustrated that he almost wants to sell the car...!

Cheers, TYP.

im pretty sure he can use the standard exhaust system from the RB20, my understanding is most of the RB20 and Rb25 parts are interchangable.

if not get RB25 headers into the standard cat back or what ever he has in place.

if the mechanic is screwing him over get him to tow the car to a more respectable workshop that will help him out

yeah i thought that the RB series would all have the same block so theoritcally as long as there is no size problem or back-pressure problems it should work....but i can't believe it is so hard to find one, if anyone in sydney has an RB20 ehxaust or one that will fit for the a 32 sedan(any condition as long as it works) i would be greatful for it...

Also would an RB25DET exhaust work or is it too big or have different design/add-ons for turbo?

This is all the car needs to be back on the road i think(not sure) so i am searching far and wide for it. the tradey reckons that he is the first in Oz to put a RB25DE in a 32 four door and says that is the reason it is so hard and expensive...i think he is full of it and taking my mate for a ride...

any jap wrecker should have one, even get an aftermarket one made from the exhaust shop just make it in cheap mild steel for now.

the 2dr exhausts fit its just short by 100mm or something like that, cant be too hard to weld some pipe in to make it longer if needed.

heaps of ppl have put RB25DET's in R32 skylines so i cant see why a RB25DE would be any harder

nah the engine is in, but the exhaust is the problem as from what i know the R32 four door never had the RB25 in it and the R33 im sure would have a different shape...

the only difference to the exhaust sytem is the header pipes to the cat. the rest should be exactly the same.

hope u get it sorted
