Is This Engine Swap Possible?


Recommended Posts

I am looking into swapping the rb20det out of my r32 gts-t in a month or so. I was planning to swap in an rb25det but it seems that everyone does that, so to do something different I am trying to look into swapping in a vq25det, but cannot find any information on the engine, any performance parts for it and so on. Has anyone heard of this being done? do you think it is possible? thank you very much.

VQ's are an open deck design and are not usually used as a performance base. there is nothing wrong with them they are a really good engine. the best place to find information on them will be the nissan maxima forums,

it would be a lot of effort putting one in an R32 A HELL OF A LOT. if you really wanted to go that way it would not be bad the weight distrabution would be good.

personally I would stick with the RB...

if you had have said VQ35HR, i would have been interested :D

For sure, but any nissan v6 conversion is not all that hard into a R32.

apparently there is a few silvias running around with VQ35's so it mustn't be too hard for a vq25?

my mate has a vq35 twin turbo 290rwkw and it is a monster. however very expensive!!

have you considered a 1jz/2jz? cheap easy power and its not that common

i hope you have a lot of time and patience (and money) for the conversion :D nothing is ever simple

I just got my RB25DET (series 2) and I was hoping you could help me with some questions.

My Skyline is non turbo so it will be a big step with the RB25.

Now then, my first question is about the gearbox mounts, I hear they aren't the same and I will also have problems with the speedo meter. What do you know about this? Can I use the Xmember of the R33 ??

The second is about the harness, everyone that has ever swapped an engine told me that the harness is the most difficult part of the swap. Do you have the diagram of the R32 and the R33 (still can't find it for the R32) and some pointers on how this is done??

Hope to get a reply from you soon

If your looking at unique engine swaps, I'd look at VH41DE or a VQ30DET.

i've seen a couple of VQ's in R32's, but wouldnt bother with the 25det, go for at least a 30, or 35 motor :rofl: or go all out on a VH41/5

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.

    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
