Hey all,

so im over my rb20, not getting enough response/ torque and low down power to drift without me flogging the f**k out of it.

it only made 165kw atws, that was a couple of months ago, since then the car begun to get blow by worse and worse... so the power is getting lower and lower. so im loosing power which i cant slide without.

So im thinking of doing a full rb25 swap.. i have access to all the parts needed for the gearbox conversion because im buying it off my mate who has done it.

just need to get a rb25 motor and all the other neccesary bits and pieces for that...

My main question is there anyone in melbourne who has done this before that can help me and a couple of my mates put it in.. my mates are mechanics, but itll be alot easier if i have someone that has done it b4, that can direct us.. they have done rb20 swaps a few times, but the 25 conversion may be abit much for us.

anyone wanna help/give me some extra info...

also anyone know anyone in vic with a good cond, low kms rb25det. preferably out of a s2 r33, and need all the other neccesary bits and pieces..

cheers, jack.

Just take Wills RB26 :rofl:

So far I know CMY32 (Sandra) has done it.

She put a RB25DET Neo from a R34 GTT into her R32 GTS-4.

Aaron from Import Monster has 2 half cuts. (Coming if not, arrived)

A R33 GTS-T and a Stagea.

You can get the RB25DET out of that.

I am in the process of doing it, hope some of you don't mind if i PM you too. So far i can tell you:

- Engine is direct swap (same mounts)

- Wiring different, but theres a few wiring threads around if you're daring to do it yourself (i wasn't, so i PMed BH_SLO32)

- AC same

- PS same

- Alternators same

- Gearbox is same

- Few hoses different

EDIT: By the way i'm converting to RB25DE.

Edited by TyresBro
cause its another p plater that bought a gtst thats turning it into a gts

waste of money imo, but each to there own

At least someone understands lol. Got plans for this car that's why. Also if you get the R34 RB25DE engine (255Nm) it has 2 more Nm of torque than the R32 GTR shamefully according to www.motortraders.net (not that i got that engine, not worth it for just P plates).

A RB26DETT has at least 353Nm.

I recently did a conversion with a series 2 rb25. There's heaps of information about it so have a look around. But I still found some things weren't covered anywhere. Feel free to PM me too with any specific questions.

yeh i know there is stuff missing... thats why i put the thread up in hope there will be some people in melbourne that can help me out if i run into trouble along the way.

it seems i have a couple now. cheers, jack.

Easy swap but it's the engineer certificate that's gonna kill you

Lol ceebs engineers cert... thanks tho.

I am keen to get a rb25det neo in there, but if i have to settle for a series 2 rb25det i will.

true, the dude must be smokin crystal

jack, fair few on da bay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R33-...=item19bc9e91d3

also did the door line up?

f**kinn smokinn rocks Cuuunnnttttt! HAHAHA!

i want one in melbourne, so i can just pick it up, chuck it on the back of the ute and then drop it in from there.

freight would be killer, and i cant check everything is there, etc etc... Ebs!

Door still isnt lined up, hopefully the car isnt bent, althought i think it may be, so might ahve to get the jig onto it, and bend the f**ker back.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
