Rb20det In My Skyline

[RCEBNR]

ok guys

ive been having really weird problems getting a clutch into my r32

the car started life in japan as a RB20DE, and somewhere along the lines it had an RB20DET installed

now, the car has been at the mechanics getting a new clutch installed and he said my engine is from a 180??

does this sound right?

so what i have then is an rb20det from a 180 in my R32 GTS, and the clutch is a 225mm item..

do 180's come with an rb20?

Err they had SR series engines in them im pretty sure, definitely didnt have a rb20 in them. Maybe he means out of a r31 or something, theres only two types of rb20 as i know it, red top and silver.. silver being the later.. Then again maybe he means that it has a SR20det in it, can you post pics?

hope that helps

yup. pics dude!

and post a location so someone can recommend a better mechanic for you to visit... because if your mechanic doesn't know his imports your best not to go there!

proly is using the rb20de flywheel, it is simmilar to the sr/ka flywheel.

ok, i no what engine i have..

the clutch/fly/gearbox is where its tricky..

the clutch that came out of it was 225mm (not 240)

i was told the early rb20 motors use this smaller clutch and for the bigger (normal) 240mm clutch to fit i needed a DET flywheel. so ive bought one and now i got a call saying its not right..

the guy does heaps of work an 300zx's so i dont doubt him, its just my car is weird.. its made from diff bits of pieces..

ive got a 92 gts shell, with all the gtst mspec bits (5 stud, bodykit, brakes) its got an rb20det, but the gearbox and fly are different. cant get anypics at the mo, but i will when i p[ick the car up tonight...

its all very weird...
