Rb25 into R32 skyline


Recommended Posts

Oh man... reading this only makes me want to convert my R32 GTS-t. :D

What exactly do you need part-wise to do a complete conversion? I've simply assumed that you need the R33 RB25DET, ECU, loom, R33 gearbox, center shaft, rear diff? Is there anything else I'm missing?

Also, since the RB25DET is slightly taller than a RB20DET on the standard mounts, is it simply easier (or better) to leave the mounts as they are or to modify them to get the engine to sit lower?

I've stuck a Stagea RB25DET in my R32 GTS4, and the lowdown torque is just phenomenal. The only other option for a GTS4 is a RB26DETT, but they are expensive. You can get a Stagea halfcut for around $4k, I believe.

The engine slots straight in, and I'm still using the standard drive train. With aftermarket ECU (Wolf 3D), it cranks 180 kw @ ALL FOUR WHEELS on 10psi and crap 95 octane.

I just got my RB25DET (series 2) and I was hoping you could help me with some questions.

My Skyline is non turbo so it will be a big step with the RB25.

Now then, my first question is about the gearbox mounts, I hear they aren't the same and I will also have problems with the speedo meter. What do you know about this? Can I use the Xmember of the R33 ??

The second is about the harness, everyone that has ever swapped an engine told me that the harness is the most difficult part of the swap. Do you have the diagram of the R32 and the R33 (still can't find it for the R32) and some pointers on how this is done??

Hope to get a reply from you soon

    • There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.
    • That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:   
    • Hi Chris,   long time since your post, just wondering if you have the Pinout for the v35 stereo plugs, I bought the roem nis2 harness but it doesn’t match the v35 connector. any help appreciated, I can work out the grn and power constant. But the rest might be hard. thanks Tyson
