Question- does an r33 gtr water pump fit an r32 gtr, if not, what is the best way to check if the engine is a 33gtr or 32gtr?

cheers

ps.

ALL THE BS

my brother bought an r32 gtr from a mate who put a new engine in it, the wrekers told him it was a 33gtr engine.

We had to put a new water pump in it and bought one for 33gtr, low and behold it leaks.

Guy we bought it off says it must be 32 engine because water pumps are different

Water pump is the same on all RB26 engines regardless of model. If it is leaking a small dribble from the snout on the front of the pump the seal will be stuffed. I would not reccomend useing a second hand water pump as a brnd new N1 pump is only around $280.00 dollars or so

Mate there is somthing up with whoever you have bought the pump through, But can garentee that the water pump is the same on all RB26 engines regardless of model mate. Maybe the supplier marks the pumps they sell with their own part no or somthing.

That is incorrect.

I purchased a N1 water pump for my rb26 and it leaked due to a slot being where one of the bolt holes should have been. Which was what made it leak. I have heard of people welding the slot up and then re drilling the bolt hole.

A far as im aware, the r32 rb26 water pump is different to 33 and 34. Well thats with the N1 range anyway. I ended up selling the water pump to a member on here with a 34 and he had no problems..

yeh the dude reckons that there is a slight difference therefore r32 requires welding, well great to know $200 later in labour!

might wanna sticky this because its proven, that r32 is different from 33 or 34 waterpump therefore requires some sort of adjustment ie by welding

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
