hey all, i'm currently parting out an R32 GTR as it's not worth getting the rest of the car up to the spec of the engine for a track car, i'm considering buying an R32 GTS and transplanting my engine, gearbox and 4wd system into the GTS and am wondering if this has even been done before? i did a search and didn't find a whole lot of info about it, basically i have an engine and drive line capable of 450+ kw at the wheels, but the car i have to put it in isn't up to scratch, wasn't in anywhere near the condition i thought it would be, found a few things that are fine for a street car, but can't be overlooked on the track.

only looking for a track car setup, so if anything need to be modified it isn't a great big problem, just poking the feeler's out, or would i be better off trying to find a hail damaged repairable write off (or something similar) GTR to put my drive line into?

Can't really be done. Unlike the later R chassis cars, the 4WD and RWD 32 chassis are different. The front subframe is completely different and you can't put the 4WD stuff into the front of the RWD chassis. Not without an enormous amount of pain anyway. As suggested above, it's only going to be worthwhile putting your stuff into another 4WD chassis. That means a GTR or a GTS4. The GTS4 would be your only "cheap" option.

cheers

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
