can someone explain to me whats the difference between th RB26DETT on the gtr 33 and the 34???? do the produce the same power and performance?

basically i want to convert my r34 GTT to a RWD r34 gtr and i read in more than one place that it is possible, and i found a pretty cheap r33 gtr engine and want to know if its different than r34's engines..... i'm not an expert in skylines so if someone thinks that i'm thinking about to do something not possible please advice me

R33 and R34 GTR engines are the same.

Both RB26DETT, but there would have been a few refinements for the R34. (Tuning wise)

Both R33 and R34 GTR's came with the standard RB26 and the N1 Editions came with N1 engines.

...and thus, the refinements lead to more torque from lower down in the rev range.

thanks guys for the replies....so what you are saying is that if i put the rb26 from the r33 gtr on my GTT and tune it properly it should perform exactly just as an rb26 from r34?

did i get that right?

nearly = not quite = just about = virtually = so close = Hmmmmm = or as Maxwell Smart says, "missed by that much"!

AND ONLY IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH THAT GT-T RUNNING GEAR (since you asked about performance too).

At the end of the day H B, if you're getting a great deal with an R33 RB26DETT motor, I wouldn't be put off from going ahead with the conversion.

And if you really want to boost your torque (since your engine is out already), budget for a couple of TE25/30s or HKS RS turbos too.

All the best with it! But don't forget your stoppers!

Agreed. It was the package as a whole that was more upgraded than the engine and gearbox. While there are tuning differences, and with that, power differences between the r32, r33, and r34 model engines, they are essentially the same engine.

That's why I should sell my 33 gtst and buy a 32 gtr now instead of pissing away any more money, and starting with the better package. But I'm an idiot.

Realistically, age and km's are more important than the series of gtr the engine came from. Unless it's a Nur. Or has been rebuilt. Or particularly strong or weak due to factory tolerances. Or if you buy the engine on a Tuesday. you get the drift......

there are differences between motors........

the most obvious difference is the Rocker Cover on the Engine... R34 being Red paint & R33 just plain black base colour.

they peform slightly different power in tuning.

The R33 RB26 is closer to the R34's than it was with the early R32 Rb26's, as the Crankshaft had a slight difference in size as well as it causing problems with the oil pump.

The head on the R34 has been improved after the R33....

The R34 Rb26dett has a Aluminium Inlet Plenum Chamber, where the R33 has a plastic one.

The crank angle sensor on the R34 is black, where the R33 is metalic.

there probably are more little differences here and there

huh? The inlet plenums are exactly the same! The real differences between the R32/33 and R34 RB26s is as you mentioned the R34 runs a different CAS which means you need R34 specific cams Main difference is the R34 runs far better ceramic ball bearing turbos, giving the engine better torque characteristics and ultimately a few more kws when tuned up with an ecu and exhaust.

well ive never had a r33..

the colour is different

in that case the colour is different

with the R34 being aluminium and the R33 black

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
