Hi all,

Question for anyone who might know or has done it, a friend of mine is stripping out an R33 GTR and I've got dibs on the rear swaybar, rear strutbrace, and the underbody bracing they have (goes from the cradle to the middle of the car?) and I'm curious to see if they'll bolt up to my R33 GTS-t for a quick upgrade. Eventually I'll be going to Whiteline/similar gear but in the meantime if it fits, I'll use it. So if anyone has any advice regarding it all fitting, that'd be great :) I'm sure the rear strut brace will fit but I'm not 100% on the other bits!

from what i have heard the strut brace won't fit. because of the plenum design but guess if Pierre has got it on his car it must fit. pretty sure everything else should fit fine

The front strut wont fit like krishy was saying because of the plenum and the rear strut bar fits so I guess thats what Pierre has only the back one and not the front

Hey guys, i have an R33 Gts-t thats fairly modified, i was wondering if an R33 GTR front strut brace would fit my Gts-t as i have a Greddy plenum fitted to mine. The GTR ones look more ridgid and sit lower across the engine so i was hoping someone could let me know if they fit up. I looked into it awhile ago but im not sure, googled it and couldn't find any useful info so i made an account here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi mate, a gtr strut brace will fit up and add some rigidity to the front end. Welcome to the forum

As mentioned above, I don't think the GTR strut brace will fit because of the plenum design. GTST sits slightly higher than the GTR. Personally I would go with an aftermarket option which is better suited to a GTST and most of the stuff on the market these days are of a pretty decent quality too.

PS welcome to the forums

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
