Hi all,

I currently have a R33 GTS T series 1 and I want to buy another 2.5T engine to drop in temporarily while I rebuild the original engine. When I get the temporary engine I just want to drop it in with no hassles (no wiring hassles or hassles with power steer, a/c etc).

Does it matter whether it's a series 1 or series 2 engine ????

Are there any major differences between series 1 and series 2 that could make things difficult ??????

I've found an engine locally at Newcastle (3 to choose) from which are complete with turbo, manifolds, throttle body, coil packs and crank angle sensor for $2600.00. Is that a good price ???

Your opinions are appreciated.

Predator thanks for that. I have found a series 2 engine (1997) complete for 2K. That's complete wiring loom all manifolds turbo etc. A couple of people told me that it should be Ok as long as I leave the fuel rail, injectors and series 1 wiring loom and the series 1 coil packs. Wonder if that that will work ?????

predator,

hey..by wat u r saying, would a series 2 engine have the mounts for the igniter pack?

jay51 has seen my car and engine..it is a series 1, but he says my igniter pack is not on top of the plastic cover....but i have the mounts for the igniter pack. does this mean my engine is a series 2? or just a series 1?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
