I recently bought a rb25 s2 turbo with intention of putting it in my r32 gtst. The thing is, with my current stock rb20 turbo, the gasket is just about dead , which causes my car to stall randomly when im not in gear so i need to put the rb25 turbo in ASAP otherwise i wont be able to drive my car.

My question is that is it easy to fit on a 25 turbo into a rb20det? Im a bit spektical with fitting on the gasgets....should i do it myself or get someone with experience to put it on for me for a couple of hunderd bucks?

also, after putting the rb25 turbo, a r32 gtr fuel pump and injectors, AND after a nistune ecu upgrade, will i get a significant performance boost? is it worth the time and money?

It'll be a straight fit. The only thing you'll need to do is run a vacuum line off of your intercooler piping for the actuator, as your RB20 turbo has one built into the housing, where the RB25 doesn't.

If you re-use the RB20 actuator too, you'll have slightly higher boost. Think it's 2 psi or something difference.

      V36 coupe manual wreck

      By Pete_Repeat · Posted

      Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.
