Hello all,

I am thinking about getting a r32 of some age.

I want a reliable engine with a fair bit of power.

Just weighing up some options. Will a hr32 fit a rb26 out of a 33 or a 32 quite easily will need special mounts? How much is a half cut of a 32 or 33 gtr going for these days?

What about a rb25? similar question how much for installation and how much for a half cut?

Thanks for your help.

(I tried searching didnt show anything i was specifically after)

I think R32 GT-R half-cuts are around 6G, RB25 can be had for around 3G - check the advertisers in Zoom! / HPI.

The RB26DETT needs some minor mods on the engine mounts (I think) to fit a GTSt. The RB25DET drops straight in. I've done the swap, and with aftermarket ECU it punches 180 kW thru 4 wheels (mine is a GTS4). That is on 10psi and 95 octane fuel. (This is up from a mighty 115 awkW that the RB20DET punched out.)

everything is pretty much the same, there is a member in the vic section that i know who has a gts-4 with an rb26 in his car when he bought it,

id say if u want a no frills engine swap then go blind elks conversion, the 25 fits straight in with very little mods as mentioned and the power gained is more than adequate for a 32 gtst and id say more worth it than a 26dett.

Think about this

A tidy R32GTSt $12000

RB26 halfcut $6000+

R33 GTST G/box $1500

Custom driveshaft $500

Labour to fit and wire $2000 easy even if you do most of the easy stuff yourself.

If you want an RB26 I'd be looking at R32 GTRs for $22-25k

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

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
