dont know about costs, but the way exstatic mentioned is better. If you turbo a RB25de, you will never get the same power as if you dropped in a rb25det due to compression etc.

Squizz from qld did it in his rb20de just using an rb20det head , manifold , turbo etc.. He said he did it for around $1000, and that was fairly cheap. You would be looking at around $3500 I would think to drop in a rb25det.

well he will do.

damn right i will do it!

yeah mash i think its better getting the halfcut, thats if u wanna stick with auto and u can find an auto gtst halfcut. and you also get front breaks, shocks that u can sell, dash and some other cool nifties ;)

if u wanna go manual, ask meggala he had an auto single spinning r32 gts, he done a full gtst manual conversion with lsd and all and the car is damn cool

depends on the situation we are in now with these lovely lovely import laws ;) theres things like by the time u sell ur car the new laws will be in so it will be more expensive thn just doing the conversion, or if u buy off someone from here it might be expensive because they either know of the new laws coming in or they are asking for a bit more money

i mean there are very nice examples down here but they might be hard to find

buy ex-tatics car, its leet! :D

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
