R32 Front Cut + Engin Swap

[GH05T]

i will either be using a vl calais or r31 rolling shell or one with shot engin to do this but anyway:.

im getting an R32 front cut

take out the rb30

replace with the RB25deT

take out auto gearbox

replace with R32 5spd

all wired and hooked up, working, checked, legaly passed

this so far i have been quoted for $4500

all i need then is a manual pedal box cos the commadore wont take the skyline one (not sure if the R31 will)

then i will upgrade the breaks for the vl i will use VT breaks (do R32 breaks fit the R31??)

does this pricing sound right?

how many kw would i be looking at ATW ballpark figure?

and how much is an R31 2door rolling shell? just without the engin and geerbox? if i can find one

and one more thing. the vl and the R31 use the same diff? are they strong will i need to upgrade them fairly sharpish?

if your getting a rb25det, why dont you use that head on the rb30 block?

let us know how you go as i may be interested in some leftover parts.

$4500 for the conversion drive in drive out is preety good considering:

25det halfcuts are around $3000 for a goodone

engineeres $500

labour stuffing around with mounts and tailshaft/pedalbox etc.@88/hr realisticly probably about 1.5days work flat out $1000

ps.why is a 25det in a 32 halfcut and why the small32 gearbox?

[krush]

my mate had an rb20det dropped into his auto VL. said it was $2000 for r32 rb20det front cut, and roughly $2000 for labour, drive in drive out deal.

this is the only story ive ever heard, so going by my mate story, your price seems near on track. i dont know any more about his dealings or that with the job.

this was rb20 by the way, if you are getting rb25 in your r32 cut, sounds like an even better deal!

yeh, in an R32 RB20DET is standard engine, urs has most likely been upgraded to RB25 so thats a sweet deal, if u want an R33 gearbox recently re-built i can hook u up with that for 2g's

hmm i know im getting the RB25det i might be wrong on the 32 part, maby im getting the 33gtst front cut.

i will probly use my vl i have now, meaning i will have breaks and running gear left over and anything else i will have which wont be usable to upgrade my vl

this will be in 1 years time, when i finish my diploma so parts wont be for a while sorry

btw if this is cheep im getting it from the manager of carline muflers in mt barker who works with jazmac cos they share a big building and if u dont know jazmac they do allot of good tuning. lol he has a s14 record holding AE86 some big toyota VIP sedan his wife has a cerfiro and theirs always a lot of nice cars their getting stuff done.

anyway my point is i didnt know the guy till i started getting srtuff done so its an off the shelf price so anyone can do it, just talk to the owner of carline muflers in mt barker or jazmac in mt barker

or i live here ask me to ask em if its a good deal
