Hay Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can put an RB26dett engine and gear box, including the front wheel drive into an R33 GTST. Cause I was thinking of doing it......

HAs this been done before? Are the engine mounts the same? Will the GTST drive shaft fit and do you have to replace the diff?

I can't wait to here what you guys think.

Cheers

Gold Rays

Ive seen an RB26DETT (without the 4wd stuff) in a 4 door R33 and it wasnt as easy as just swapping everything over. It took about three days for a mechanic who specialises in skylines to iron out all the little problems. i think electrics were more of a problem than mechanical. it had bigger turbos, a powerfc and avcr too. that being said, make sure you reasearch it first....

I'd say it would be cheaper in the long run to sell your GTSt and buy a GTR.. Otherwise pick up a GTS4 and drop an RB26 into that, then you have ATTESA...

A mate of mine has put an RB26 into his GTS, engine dyno'd at over 700hp, thing is an animal in the dry in any gear... I like the grip of my GTR :D

i don't bother me if I can't get the FWD. I want to do what your mate did.

I heard you could buy some sort of 4WD kit for a GTST!!!

I will be doing all the installing work with help of a few mechanics for free, so i don't have to worry about the cost of that. Only the cost of the front cut.

Another question: Is the GTR chasis the same as a GTST?

Hi Gold Rays, last time I priced a half cut R33 GTR it was close enough to $12K, to that you would need to add the cost of an R33 GTR tail shaft, rear diff, rear uprights, brakes, drive shafts, suspension arms, fuel tank, fuel pump, rear outer guards, rear inner guards, panel beating, painting etc etc

Someone already said it, "I'd say it would be cheaper in the long run to sell your GTSt and buy a GTR"

Plus in the end you would still have a GTST, not a real GTR.

My thoughts anyway

All RB block patterns are the same so it should just bolt straight in. Don't know about the 4WD though.

And 1989 R32 GTR's are going for about 15K in Jap land ATM so you may want to just upgrade. Check out prestige motorsports mailing list.

Here are another couple from Prestige motors. I have been receiving their emails for a while and they are getting really cheap.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
