Well, I read an article a while back where a guy with a GT4 Celica put the Lexus V8 motor (LS400/SC400)

into it, and it actually ended up being lighter than the 3S-GTE!

Might be an interesting hybrid idea for a skyline. Imagine hearing a skyline go past with that V8 rumble,

you'd confuse everyone! :)

Oh would someone be able to confirm that since I am dropping a RB25DET into the Cefiro that i just need to get the Apexi PFC suited to that engine..ie R33 GTST. Or is it not as simple as that??

Someone up here in qld actually has an r33 with the 4.5l q45 V8 in it, AND a supercharger :D

With the ae86, someone else up here has one with an rb25 in it, to say the least it hauls. Then there is the 180sx with the 2jz in it, and one big mofo turbo... Then the starlet with the 3sgte in it...

But rb25 is a sensible option. Id just like someone to do the rb30 before me so I know if there is going to be any problems :)

hey mate

yeh i've done the rb30

its all pretty straight forward.

rb30e bottom end

c33 rb25de half cut. because there cheap and non vvt

you can run a standard head gasket (rb30 or rb25)

8.2-1 compression

you need to lower your engine,eith with rx7 engine mounts or cut and shut your current ones(the cross member not the mount.

you need a little re wiring nothing major (not sure on costs sorry also done myself)

cost under a grand as i done all the work myself

still n/a at the moment beatins SS commo's and my mates r34 rb25det NEO(stock)

highly recommended.i'm still totaly stock and very happy with my performance.

LoL, awesome man. My mechanic has done quite a number with rb26 heads, so I would probaby go that way.

How was the crossover pipe and the bonnet???

No worries, bonnet wouldnt shut cause of timing belt cover, lowered motor about 20mm, no problems with pipework.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
