alright so for my year 12 automotive project im doing a 180sx and putting a rb25det into it...it will be used as a drift car (ALL funded by my brother), so far its all apart, bought forged pistons,rb26 conrods(machined to fit rb25), tomei valve springs, new intake manifold. The head, block and crank are all getting machined as we speak...bought a crashed r33, stripped it, we put the front crossmember in,with one of the holes needed drilling bigger so it would fit up. All r33 brakes are going on the 180sx, took the brake lines off the 180sx brakes and put them on the r33 brakes, so no modifying is required. The r33 rear end (brakes,axles,diff..basically whole r33 rear end.) is going to be installed onto 180sx...new bushes are being made and drilled for them.
Ok now i've told everyone what me and my brother are doing,i have a few questions.
Iv'e read that rb25 hits the bonnet, but we have new intake plenum so that problem is solved.
The rb25 gearbox (manual) crossmember doesnt fit up? What needs modifying???
I've read that a custom tailshaft is needed? Or can i fit the r33 tailshaft up because im using r33 rear end? i still have 180sx tailshaft, could i take them both apart and mix r33 one and 180sx into one tailshaft? (As they come apart into 2 pieces).
That is all for now, im sure many other questions will arise later in the build.
Thanks alooootttt, Jordan
