i want to do a r32 gts or gts-t engine swap with a lexus 1uz-fe 4litre v8.

i have seen it done to a s13 silvia so im sure it would fit. can some 1 please give me the dimensions of the engine bay.

Dunno, but I'm pretty sure the RB is physically larger than the SR, so if it fits in a Silvia it would probably fit in a skyline. Apparently the 5.7 litre LS1 swap has been done in am R33 skyline before, so V8 skylines are not unheard of. V8 RX-7s too...

What is the weight difference between the 1UZ and RB20 (or RB25 for that matter)? Would you be better off going for an RB25/30DET for perhaps less $$$? It would still deliver low end torque and ultimate would give superior performance. Unless the shock value is what you want :).

Let me know how it goes if you go through with it - the lack of torque below 3000rpm is getting annoying in my RB20 :P . I was considering an RB25 upgrade, or an RB25/30 upgrade, but this is way more interesting :( .

Wack a blower on the 1UZ while you're at it!

theres a v8 r33 on here in QLD I think  but with the nissan v8 vh45de

Any ideas what transmission it is running? I heard the vh45 can be troublesome when it comes to transmission swaps... but I'm hardly an expert! :(

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
