R32 Gtst 4 Door

[malazn]

Hey guys

I am a new member to this forum=).. hopfully will be on some cruises with you guys.. i am about to purchase a 4 door r32 skyline that currently has a rb20det .. because i am a p plater and am restricted to driving turbo i am thinking about doing an SR20DE VVTI s14 motor into my skyline.

My Idea that i have considered. Ppl have done the Rb motors into an S13 silvia using the skyline crossmembers and bolts straight in. in saying that would it also be the same if i use the S13 Silvia SR crossmember into my skyline and bolt straight in.

my 2nd If using the sr20de 4 cly motor that would also help in weight destribution as it is further back in the engine bay. in saying this it will be able to handle pretty well in my opinion.

What i havn't yet researched on is wiring. How hard would it be exactly to wire up the engine loom to run the car. Being nissan i think that it should be able to be done.

I have seen a sr20det into a 4 door skyline and it handles pretty well in the drift comp. Like to thank you guys for reading and if u could be a help to this conversion it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Jace

also forgot to mention i heard that the R32 gearbox will bolt straight onto an sr20de.. will i have to move the gearbox at all?

Can you do that? As in throw in a NA engine into a car that was originally turbo and be able to drive it on your P's? I always thought they get the car's factory specs. Like you can't go out and buy an R33 and throw in 200kg of bricks (also getting it engineered) to make it under the power to weight ratio.

Make sure you know 100% you can get away with it before doing anything.

I'm fairly sure RB20DET gearbox will NOT bolt onto an SR. Namely all the SR boys that want to upgrade to RB25 gearbox (same bolt up pattern as RB20 box) need to do a bit of work to make them fit.

This mostl likely means, custom bellhousing (or at least some work to it), different gearbox x-member, modified tailshaft, new gearbox.

The cost starts adding up, just think, is it really worth it?

Go buy a shitter for the mean time to drive on the road and drive your car out at the track where it should be driven

Then when it's time you get your full licence, you can just register yours and be done with it
