Anybody know if there is any difference between the RB26 in a R33 GTR and a R34 GTR?

R33 RB26 runs on petrol or ethanol if tuned for it

R34 RB26 runs on sheer arrogance and pleasant smelling feces, from factory

Yeh.. security guards come with the 34 engine

R34 made of unobtainium, R33 mere metal.

LOL! Ahhhh, THAT "R34 GTR only meet" memory still lingers hahaha

Bit too broad of a question.

Which variant and in what area? There are numerous minor changes.

Also this.

Just the turbos / dumps the MAIN change I thought?

yea dumps are different.

I'm asking mainly because I'm doing some research for my next project (for like, 2 years down the track LOL) and am considering either a R33 GTR or R34 GTR.

Problem is, R34 owners still think selling a tidy 34R for almost the same price as a 2nd hand 35 is reasonable. Which has lead me to consider the R33 GTR as being the most bang for buck within the next 2 years.

Basically looking to make a somewhat responsive ~400awkw on E85, using twin low mounts (either -5s or -10s, going by the research I've been doing) with a stock underbonnet look (EAD EPA!!). Have noticed ALOT of 34Rs hitting these figures (or close to) but not hearing too much about the 33Rs doing the same.

A 33R is easily the best value R going around if you want a fast R

No surprise though, the same is true for the GTS-Ts

32 is in classic territory and owners with bubbles dashes selling for a grand two under 33R prices, sometimes more, despite the 33R being mechanically superior

34R remains twice the price of a 33R for something of similar condition and modification level

Nice! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the 33R is the most bang for buck at the moment. What about in terms of extracting engine performance compared to the 34? Mainly based around my goal of hitting ~400awkw with a stock looking engine bay?

Is it because GTR or because 400awkw?

(Serious question)

Because both ;)

Don't see why it would be any easier on the 34 when you have to swap turbos for that anyway.

GTS-Ts make close to that with E85 with big highflows, should be able to get it with big RB26 highflows for a stock look or -7s for a little less stock

Suppose with a GTST you get an extra 10k ish playing money straight away. Although that 10k will disappear fast so almost worth going the GTR, depends how serious you want to get involved on track I guess.

If it was me I'd be looking for a half done 33R (money already spent on turbos/built engine etc) and proof with receipts and stretch budget of car purchase to ~28k ish depending on mods and quality ofcourse..

rb26's all pretty much same same cept slightly different

If its just power you can do it pretty easily with an rb25 too, but if you want the traction yeah get a GTR

and agreed a 33r is where its at. 34r costs twice as much when a 33r is 95% of the car a 34R is

Also securty guards arent cheap

Just drove my baby home... damn it feels good now :D Made 277kw with a lovely looking fat curve.

Went via Pedders Ringwood (unannounced) and jumped in a queue for an alignment. 4 hours of walking around Eastland, watching the locals, later. All done and good to go and it's ready for Saturday.

I'm *shudder* driving *shudder* to the work Christmas party on Friday night. Booooo

Oh another well known person died... Tell me about the other hundreds that die in a day that aren't recoginised, oh you don't think about that? Maybe you should take a walk through a cemetery once every now and then and stop joining the f**king bandwagon #endrant

Not trying to be a cunt, but it annoys me how people are so ignorant

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
