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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
