What type of car fits a nissan engine

Post by **Godsend101** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 8:19 pm

I have a decent 1994 Nissan Skyline GTS25 rear wheel drive motor in a run down car and I'm wondering what car would be able to fit that type of motor into it

Post by **Cjmartz2k** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:05 am

Nissan S-chassis (aka 240sx, S13, S14) or an old Datson. Or anything in the world provided you have enough money.

*edited because I'm in an unusually good mode.

CJ is correct.

Popular RB swaps: S13 / S14, S30 / S130

I'd like to see an RB in a late 90's 2wd Pathfinder.

I wouldnt mind seeing that in a 90's hardbody.

Post by **toadx8u** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:45 am

from the way he types i dont think hes in the states...

one of my friends has a 90s hard body with VG30ETT from the z31 in it...maybe if it wasnt a mini truck and some kinda working suspension he could get some traction and run a good time...

Post by **AZhitman** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:47 am

He's a Kiwi.

How about a 76 Silvia? THAT would be wicked with an RB.

Post by **toadx8u** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:58 am

yeah i agree...take it old school

One of my friends has a hardbody with an SR20DET with z32 fr suspension, and rear independent suspension. Isnt the lowest thing in the world but it handles like a dream. Never felt a truck drive like that before.

hmmmm i wanna see this truck...maybe when i get back home off deployment ill come up and grab carlos (stricnynel0s) and come check it out...thing sounds like its an awesome configuration

i love how nissan built all its vehicles to recive almost any engine with only slight modifications to the mounting system...even the 350z's can receive the RB treatment and that was a few yrs after the RB was outa production iirc

I saw a couple of those back in Okinawa. Really sexy cars, especially with an RB in it. It's about the only good candidate for an n/a RB due to it's weight (or lack there of).

That has win all over it. Sexiest thing Ive seen in a long while.

As they did in Tokyo Drift, there is always the option of powering an american car with an RB. Chevy Vega, Nova, Camaro, Ford Mustang, etc... With enough money and enough time you can do anything.

Anyone else notice that is a Rb25 with ITBs and not a RB26? Nice find.

where did you get those photos from?

Post by **toadx8u** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 8:42 am

yeah i noticed...the NVCS and the side mount injectors gave it away for me...its just 26 covers and intake on a RB25DE....i have been looking for one of those motorsets for a while now myself

It's a friends car. Yeah it's a RB25 with ITB's, the car runs a microtech on it.

Forgot I had video of ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR0pPKV5BYghttp ... zOJj4UR-jU

I would really have to wonder, being it is an NA 25, what have they done to it? I was always under the impression that the NA's were dogs?

Props on the swap, looks killer. I also like the Sapporo label, instead of the usual domestic or 'buddy beer' sleeves.

are you kiddin man....the NA RB is a beast...same great motor just 10:1...its only seems like a dog cause of its turbo brethren...iirc the aussies use it alot in the NA road racing series...

how can i fit it on a g35 coupe

Post by **Darius** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 12:25 pm

Same as you would fit it into an S-chassis:

Engine mounts
Driveshaft
Wiring
Plumbing

Why would you put an RB in a G Coupe?

Not a good fit, considering the G was designed for a longitudinally-short, compact V6.... which will make RB25DET power with a simple supercharger kit (for a lot less money).

Considering modern engine output, you could ask "why would anyone mess with an RB or any inline 6 cylinder for that matter?" I applaud the idea and it would be something that few have done before.

kevwa put an RB25 into an S10, so he is going to be the best resource to help you put it into a full-size truck here. Honestly, you're going to be on your own for most of it.

I wanna put one in my 98' Frontier, how much modification would I need to do or will it just bolt right in?
