So I'm doing an RB26 conversion on my S13. I have spent all my money on the engine setup and don't want to spend money on an R33 gearbox when I have 2x r32 GTR boxes sitting here already.

I've removed the transfer case already and all the internals that seem associated with it. What do I do in terms of the oil pump in the rear?

Any info from someone that has done this would be much appreciated.

cheers,

Greg

i guess u cud bin bits and stuff around with removing the transfercase to save weight.

but just remove the front drive shaft between the transfer case nd front diff, nd u mite need a custom tailshaft/ use da gtr one if its da same length as the s13 driveshaft

All the inners that are associated with the transfer case have already been removed and the transfer case has been cut off as it probably wouldn't fit in the S13 tunnel with it still attached.

I have done it in my GTR, car is running 630rwhp and loving it.

I welded up the hole left by cutting off the tranfere case with 10mm ally plate then surfaced the gearbox and the tranfere case to be a perfect fit. I then put a litre of diff oil in the tranfere case which with acceleration and decelleration should keep the bearing oiled, they are not noisy yet and that included a thrashing all weekend at powercruise.

One thing to watch out for is make sure tou put the selector pivot back on the selector shaft the right way up, otherwise you will be pulling it apart to do it later, its simple mistake if your not paying attention. ie I did it on mine at around 2am when I should have been in bed instead of working on cars haha.

The oil pump is only there to clamp the wet clutch for the 4WD system. So the short answer is bin it.

incorrect you need it to lube the rear bearings. I have done about 6 of these now greg if you need one done. i just did one for type M in dandy.

this is one of many threads ive posted pics.

What's your number Trent?

I also need the motor built and I'm over waiting around for people.

Sorry my bad.

I assumed you were referring to the ATTESSA pump that plugs intot he back of the gearbox/transfer case.

The internal oil pump inside the gearbox should be kept.

    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
