hr33 is a 4 door, ecr33 is a 2 door.

why dont ya just buy a GTR instead ? nothing is cheap, and never will be. if you're after "cheap", dont bother with the GTR conversion coz GTR isnt cheap to begin with. theres a reason why the car costed waaay over 100grand bak in 1995.

there was an R33 GTST in the for sale section with an RB26DETT conversion for around $20k i think.

HR33 has RB20E engine (can be sedan OR coupe afaik as some 2 doors came with this engine)

And ECR33 has RB25 series engine, and can be turbo (sedan + coupe) or non-turbo (type-s coupe).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are looking on carsales this can be confusing as many sellers seem to put down the wrong model designation.

H = 2.0L

E = 2.5L

B = 2.6L

C = HICAS (optional on both H and E R33's)

the rest you can figure out.

There's no chassis differences between S1 and S2 R33's. Both HR33's and ER33's came in 2 and 4 door variants.

R33's came with RB20E (HR33's), RB25DE, and RB25DET engines (ER33's). RB20E's make a staggering 80 something kw at the fly... so they're not eligible for import into australia anymore due to them not meeting power to weight ratio requirements (not that anyone ever misses em). A couple of em did sneak into the country under the old CPA scheme though. Type M's and Type S's are just packages of optional extras that were available to respective models.

Also, save yourself the money and troubles. If you want a GTR, buy a GTR, they're bloody cheap these days anyways, and they'll only get cheaper in the future when you're ready to upgrade.

as mentioned above if thats your plan, do put an RB26 in the GTS-T, maybe look into the 1 allblitz is selling with the conversion already done...

[phenline]

maybe even just use that money and modify the rb25 would be just as fun and quick probably work out cheaper as well

[pixel8r]

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a GTR and switch the rear end back to a GTST?

maybe i missed something....

excuse my sad sense of humour, all I'm saying is, if you want a GTR, just buy a GTR

Yes but GTS-t's and GTR's are very different, Rwd/4wd single turbo/twin turbo, if your a drifter the GTR is not for you. The RB26 swap into a R33 GTS isn't cost effective or nessesary put that money into the RB25 its a great engine too.
