Bought a R32 shell as a project 3 days ago! 20de manual, will +t later down the track as the motor is already set up for it apparently.

Started with an R33 sedan 20e auto which got crashed into an armco out drifting (not me) getting turned into a drift pig now!

welcome from another NZer. looks like a lot of work coming up for you. are you going to put the RB20e out of the R33 into the R32 shell?

Nah, picked up a 20de to drop in. Just need to find a decent manual set up cause there's literally nothing in the car ?

Manual setups to suit RBs are getting hard to and expensive to find :( good luck.

Throw a TD05-16g on the 20de and it will be a blast.

Ooh yes they are! I've got a 30e box for it but it's still sitting at the opposite end of the country.. 

 

Side note, will an auto rear half of a driveshaft work with a manual front?

i believe so, the chassis mounts for the driveshaft are the same for both auto and manual from what i have seen

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
