BeEnAr Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 AFAIK R33 have Plastic timing gear cover. R32 have metal? Could be as easy as that but I dunno. I have R32 VSpecII so it's black plastic for me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251456-visual-differences-between-r32-and-r33-rb26s/#findComment-4353062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STATUS Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 balancer is totally different. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251456-visual-differences-between-r32-and-r33-rb26s/#findComment-4353069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishstorm Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I dont know what either balencer looks like so I can really tell that way lol... Also mine for some reason has RB25 tappet covers. But I think the timing cover may be a metel one...

BeEnAr Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Are you sure it's an RB26 and not just a 25 with 26 timing cover? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251456-visual-differences-between-r32-and-r33-rb26s/#findComment-4353590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishstorm Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 No its just the tappet covers lol... the block does have RB26 stamped on it and all the other hardware is RB26 such as multi throttles and such Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251456-visual-differences-between-r32-and-r33-rb26s/#findComment-4353616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
