Im just about to fit my 26/30 in the engine bay of my R33 GTST. The steel engine mount brackets i got with the block doesnt line up with the RB25 rubber mounts in the bay though :S

I feel really stupid here but anyway, it seems like the angle of the brackets is a bit to much and they just seem like they should sit closer further ack on the block :thumbsup:

Also if someone got pics of their mounts i would be glad!

Use matching brackets and mounts..

It sounds like you have RB30 mounts on the block and 33gtst brackets in the engine bay.. IIRC the RB30 mounts sit the engine slightly further back than the 32/33gtst mounts.

Thanks for your help! Ye i was really fussed about what brackets to use with what mounts ;)

TiTAN> I can see you have a R33 GTS-30T in your info, so you say that i can/should use the factory R33 GTST engine bracketes and mounts?

Might have solved the problem! Im using universal rubber mounts with an offset of the bolts of about 40mm, bolted straight in. Might make a spacer for the LHS engine bracket since the engine is leaning a bit and he bolt and bolthole doesnt flat out :spank:

Anyways, the engine is in place and i can start with the exhaust manifolds!! Yeeeaaay :D

BTW, the rubber mounts costs 10 AUD/piece :)

I know I'm pulling out an old thread but I'm doing the same. 

A rb26/30 into R33 S2. 

And was told that i need custom mounts as the rb30/26 is taller then a Rb26dett or Rb25det to it fouls the bonnet. 

 

Is this true or not. 

 

Cheers.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
