Hi guys,

I've currently got a 1995 R33 Gts-4, I'm upgrading to an RB25det...I have found a cheap Rb25det from a GTST which is obviously RWD.

Just wondering how much work would be needed to switch that RWD engine to AWD, I can use the sump off my current block just dont know if it would fit up and what else may be needed for conversion.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Dan

No, the sump bolt patterns are different, you would need an adaptor plate (same as what they use for RB30 4WD conversions) - $1000 +

You really need to find a Stagea Rb25DET and that would drop straight in, with just a diff gear swap (if they are different)

If I was going for high compression I would have just done the de+t conversion....but my engines got 230000kms on it, so I'd rather find a newer stagea engine with around 80-100000kms if possible also installing 32gtr gearbox for different gear ratios as well

If it was possible to find a relatively cheap gtr engine i'd do that as the rest of my driveline and brake setup has been changed to gtr gear already.

I have just done the opposite to you, converted a 4wd rb25det to rwd for a c34 laurel. Strangely the rwd block only has holes for a rwd sump, but the 4wd block has bolt holes for both the rwd and 4wd sump, though to fit the rwd sump I had to modify the oil pickup. if you want to use a rwd you need this.........

In all honesty you are better to find a factory 4wd rb25det engine, usually they are cheaper as its a bit of a pain to mod them to rwd. I managed to get a neo 4wd rb25det for just over $1000 for my 4wd cefiro.

PS, the GTR box has the same ratio as all the other boxes, its just the diff thats a different ratio.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
