Ahh, just found out a mate from school is going to do it.

Just gotta pay sum1 to do the wiring.

Anyone with much info on it?

Is it

Straight swap? mounts line up? gearbox line up?

Were can i source a cheap halfcut?.

I Dont need Ecu as i have a 33 microtech.

Whats needed to be done for a mod plate?...

Thanks.

man do it yourself, i am.

doesnt look to hard i will find out as i go.

i will gettin help from the lovely people from SAU if i need it though.

prob be able to get a from cut of a r33 for like 3500 if that, that gives you everything you need.

mechanics if you make it easy for you will prob do it for 2-3 K drive in drive out. with no other modifications.

yes and no...it is a straight swap but it isnt....

you need to change the gearbox mount and the tail shaft..

use whatever computer you want, just tune it.

dont mod plate it....:O you shouldnt need to.

the r32 came out with a 2.5 ltr....or just dont advertise it as a 2.5 ltr you should be fine....

but i would mod plate it cause it is illegal not to....savvy

gearbox mount needs to be modified...weld abit of angle along the back of it to pick up the last two bolt holes.

do it yourself and you might learn something about your car.

You can keep the Rb20 box (i have) but may not last you long... if you are going to use the rb25 box you will need to get a shortened tailshaft made up for around $700.. and you can use the existing rb20 harness if you make a few minor changes... it's all easy if you have a soldering iron hehehe

do it yourself ..... i have been quoted over $6000 for a conversion i did under $2000 :thumbsup:

it easy as to get it mod plated cause like you say the 25de is an option in r32s I think it cost me $160 to get mine plated

people could save them selves the trouble and but mine???!

yeah you can keep the box, i was gonna but then i thought...when it breaks....so i got a 25 one.

i heard that you can just change the yoke on the end???!?!?! or use a r33 front tailshaft piece. i could be wrong...i will crosse that hurdle when i get to it.

i didnt know you could use the 20 harness...thats cool as.

sif man pay you, we'll whip you till your finished the conversion.

Can help with the wiring. I have done a few now. Excellent conversion, I even did one for my fathers R32 at the start of this year. He loves it!

I have personally done 2 now and have done them over a weekend with a hand from my bro-in-laws.

Cheers

It's easy if you have the tools and know what you are doing, it takes more than anyone is going to tell you here on the forum but is not that hard, start using the r32 complete wiring harness only changing the 4th and 6th injectors pins

(rb25 igniton is different.), use r32 ecu, you need to use the r33 yoke (it is the begining of the driveshaft that connects into the tranny), the transmission mounts must to be changed (the r33 tranny seats a little farther than the r32, you'll need to custom your cluster if you are going to use the r33 tranny (r33 reads the speed digitally and r32 use a cable from tranny to the back of your cluster.).

If you don't mind for timing and you want the r33 front end too it's going to take really a lot of work!(I'm doing right now this conversion, r32 with r33 front end and complete front end wiring harness with the rb25 motor....lol it is really been a lot of things to do.)

gl with your swap.

if anyone needs a tailshaft made give brendon at petron automotive a call (its on tradelink rd in browns plains) Tell him matt with the rb26 s14 sent you, he will lookafter you.

if your paying $700 for a tailshaft im pretty sure you would be getting ripped off. but it depends what you are after i spose

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
