I want to put a RB25DET into my NA R33. Are the wiring looms the same? Otherwise I'll sell it and buy a turbo model.

What other things do I need to consider with this swap? I know fuel, brakes, suspension, computer. Are the gear boxes the same?

Cheers,

Rhys

Cheaper to sell and purchase the turbo factory car mate

Always has, always will be.

Gearboxes arent the same either.

true, but if you're going to upgrade the brakes, suspention, and everything that seperates the NA and Turbo models, wouldnt it end up cheaper? And I have a contact who can get me Skyline parts for much cheaper than most. That what I would have thought, please correct me if I'm wrong

theres quite a lot of discussion on this topic in the na section, have a search in there, it depends on how much you've already done to your car really, although with the current price drop in skylines the na's are holding more value then some of the turbo's so u might end up on the plus side of a straight swap insed of forking out the big dollars

unless your attached to your particular car, i wouldn't bother personally.

go proper factory turbo car , that way you get the bigger gearbox, 5 stud wheels, bigger brakes, engine etc all ready to roll out of the box and it has the factory build tags to match.

do the NA models have LSD and the same gearing?

    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
