Just interested if anyone has any USEFUL information on Installing an RB25DET into an LJ Torana, I've sourced mounting kits from ROD SHOP in victoria for the RB30, also sourced diff soloution, 28 Spline LSD VS Commodore from DIFF LAPPING in brisbane, and a few other things. I guess my main concern is the size of the gearbox tunnel in the 2 Door LJ vs the SII Gearbox from the skyline being quite a bit bigger than the stock 4S M21. I'm still looking at a few solutions to intercooler plumbing, suspension and breaks(front & rear). This car is going to be built purely for weekend street enjoyment and a bit of drag work, so the powerscale i'm looking for will roughly be about 350-400kw at the fly. Any ideas on engine mods or mounting this thing would be really appreciated. :D

i go there for my car and im soon gonna do a RB20 convert but if i have the cash i will do a 25 to my UC ;)

yeah thanks, checked it out. theres already a forum up there for the RB25det into an LJ. Starting to become a pretty popular engine, good part about it though, is with the numbers comes the cheaper parts. but who can compare 5yr technology to a 30yr old tractor engine?? ha ha. good ol triples, they go alright.

30 year old tractor engines ? ? ? I built some tough red 6s over the years and pound for pound they go hard if you know how to build them up. Eldred Norman ( of Norman Superchargers fame ) was running 9 seconds on the quarter mile in the sixtys on grooved slicks ! ! ! ! Love old Holdens and Red motor sixes ! ! ! !

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
