It's a GTR, there are never 'no problems'

But yes, it will fit

Wouldn't stop it from fitting. Are going to do some work to the engine? The difference that springs to mind for me is the crank and oil pump situation. If you're going to pull the engine down and beef it up then you'd consider using an R33 crank and decent oil pump. If you want to keep a stock engine I'd actually be looking for a R33 engine- you'd be more likely to sell the car if you needed to also. For me it's more about the age of the R32 engine ( I don't believe in the k's)- unless you're pulling it down (and then going with new/bigger turbos, crank etc,) I wouldn't consider the saving over an R33 engine to be worth it for the difference in value it makes to your car.

Ah, then you'll need to work out whether the difference you save in the engine cost is going to be worth the (lower) price you'll get for the car. Your call, but do put yourself in the shoes of a prospective buyer.

Hi Adam, I am wondering now if you still want my R33 motor @89km genuine, with mechanics report on compression check & dyno sheet 214hp @4w bog standard boost (both from Tenagah Motorsport) removed from an RS260 family wagon for $4k plus 50% of freight cost ex Perth. I need to know else I am wasting my time & money travelling to Perth, getting the motor freight ready for shipping etc., at my cost without a deposit or any financial committment to date on your part in the transaction. Of course their is no warranty implied or otherwise, I have no control over the install or treatment the engine will be later subjected to.

Personally I have never pushed the motor past 6k, there having never been any need to, dyno sheet is posted for info & as I said motor was changed out for an N1 because I could, no other reason, give it a 100k service & drive it.

My 2c, no offence.

Cheers GW :P

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
