Hi guys,

Im trying to source a cylinder head for the new engine I am building for my R34 GTR. I want to kee my current engine intact as a spare and build an entirely new engine and just do a swap when its ready.

So, apart from some porting, what exactly is the diferences between an R34 and R33/R32 RB26 head?

I believe the R34 exhaust camshaft is slightly diferent so it can drive the R34 CAS sensor.

I want to keep all R34 sensor compatability so I can run an FC on the new engine, so to do this can I buy an R32/R33 head and then just put a set of R34 cams in it?

Cheers,

Ian

Well problem solved, I dont need to worry about R32/R33 heads now.

I'll be able to confirm the CAS drive diferences for sure in a week or so. Just sourced a low K R34 head from a vspec 2.

Cheers,

Ian

dont know if the cam profiles are different, but guess if your building a new engine for it then you might go aftermarket cams, in that case the only difference is the drive, so just make sure you order sticks for an r34 gtr so the drive is the same, the bare head is the same

the bare heads are all the same. no difference in porting or anything else. the only difference is in ancillaries. and of course the 34 cam drive for the CAS is different. cam profile is a little different too, but lift is the same across them all.

Just to dig up and old thread....

Im looking at going the 26/30 route for my gtst and just starting to put parts aside....

Long story short, any of the 32, 33 or 34 gtr heads will be as good as each other??

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
