Just need to know quick

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

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
