Yes thats right. R32 GTS-4 had RB20 turbo engine, and R33 GTS-4 has the RB25 normally aspirated engine only.

I have been looking for an R33 GTS-4 manual for over a year, and cannot find one that is for sale, but they do exist. There are quite a few automatics around, if that is what you want.

Yes the R34 does come with an RB25DET plus AWD, but it would not come cheap.

The best option is to get an R33 n/a GTS-4 and turbo it yourself, a bit of work, but not impossible.

Another way would be to fit an RB26DETT to an R33 GTS-4, now that would make a very nice sleeper, and at around half the cost of a GTR as well.

If you bought an auto GTS-4 for about $15K, a complete GTR front cut for about $10K, you would have absolutely everything you need, plus you could flog off all the unused bits and recover a few dollars.

Well.. I'm in the US. Skylines are a tad bit scarce here.

These pictures are the engine swap I'm buying, which has come from japan. And I really cannot find out exactly what it came from. All I know is that it is an AWD R33 RB25DET automatic.

I gather it's either from the Stagea or some sort of GTSt-4. It doesn't really matter, but I have been looking for information on it for a while now. And everytime I mention this engine or show pictures of it to people here in the US (or on a US Nissan forum), they think it has been modified in some way. I'm trying to figure out the truth. I know there was alot of variations of skylines out there.. but I've found no real information on the exact models and editions for each year. It obviously looks stock and unmodified IMO.

If it is from the Stagea though.. it is definetely rare. Because what I'm gathering is that there was only one year that the stagea even had the RB25DET AWD, and that was 96. The others were called VQ25DET's..

Who knows. Thanks though.

Very interesting EJ6. The RB25 block used in the AWD version is different to the "normal" RB25 block. The oil pan rails are quite different, and some of the holes are much larger to take the studs which secure the alloy sump and front diff.

So there is the RB25DE, and RB25DET block used on the R33 and R34 rear wheel drive cars, and then there is the RB26DETT, RB25DE, and RB25DET neo blocks as used in all the AWD versions.

Your R33 has definitely been modified in some way, and there are two possibilities. The original RB25DE may have been fully rebuilt with all the RB25DET parts, but using the original (AWD) bare block, this is possible, but highly unlikely.

The other possibility is that someone has dropped in an R34 Stagea RB25DET neo engine. This engine is different in many ways to the original RB25DET, and is rated for 205Kw, if I remember correctly. There are many detailed changes including variable valve timing on both cams, and the top of the engine looks totally different. It should have "neo straight six" prominently displayed. If it does, you are a very fortunate fellow.

Warpspeed, thanks for your help with this..

I've also heard that the RB25DET stagea is a bit more powerfull. I hope to god this is it, because that would be one cool thing.

It doesn't look like a neo engine either does it?

Could it possibly be a R32 GTS-4 setup? I am being told this is R33. And it definetely LOOKS like R33.. because it doesn't look very old.

When I get the swap, is there a way of telling for sure or not? I'm familiar with honda's and they all have engine codes on the blocks. Does Nissan do this too in any way?

Thanks

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
