You could put a supercharged big block v8 in a silvia if you really wanted. Anyhting is possible.

Do you mean, will it just drop in? Will I be able to register it? More info required with your question.

just wondering, is it possible to put the R33 engine into something like a S13 onwards silvia?? i was thinking of doing one up as a project car is all

Yes its possible and has been done. Hell even an RB26DETT has been shoved into an S13 before with good results. You will need to enquire about its legalities and what it needs to be engineered etc from your respective state.

The RB into Silvia swap is not uncommon. In fact, it's to the point where it's not really unique enough for some people. Hence the birth of the Nissan V8 into Silvia conversion, but even that has been done a few times now...

See http://members.iinet.net.au/~dcollins/silfiniti/ for one such example.

the only reason i would undertake this is because im not a big fan of the 4cyl and i love the 6 cyl in the skylines. would it b worthwhile doing this or just spend the money on doing up the engine thats in the silvia??

It sure can be done. I had a RB25DET conversion in my 180SX.

By fitting a skyline crossmember from the R32/R33 the RB motor will bolt directly up using the nissan mounts. You should be able to get out of it for around $5k-$6k all up. That's if you do a fair bit yourself.

It doesn't mess up the handling too much. Maybe if your building a drifter, but for a fast street car and occasional track day car it delivers awesome punch and torque!!!

After going through one though, it's alot of work and you can get similiar power and results from going sick on your current engine.

(that is unless you have a NA CA18DE or SR20DE already!!!!)

S13 have good balance why put a RB in the front.. look my car has an iron block on the bonnet..

FWD silvia. ahahah that was gold

Why not?

It doesnt really throw it out that much, but for proper drift you will understeer...

But if you want to go fast you have yourself a lightweight skyline :santa:

Do it! :lol:

Iv'e seen a v6 out of the 300zx(90's model) in a silvia, it looked like there was more room round the engine than in the Z. Don't think there are too many unqiue Nissan conversions left to do these day considering how easy it seems to be to interchange the engines in the skylines etc., even the factory put 4 cyl engines in R32 Skylines for the extra cautious driver...

Oh, and for those of you that don't really now this engine... and where thinking... 'that engine looks east-west' therefore fwd... Its just the intake that looks like that. It is still rwd, and the engine is north-south facing :)

I would love to see a V8 (Nissan or other) in a R34 GTT. The burble and rumble of the 8 would go well with the aggresive looks of the R34.

thers something similar thats been done. search for 'GT Autosound Drift' or something along those lines in youtube. ls1 in a gtt i think

here u go:

      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).

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

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

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
