Have a stupid question that I can't find an answer for...

Have an R32 GTR that needs a new engine. Wondering if an R33 or R34 rb26 will go in easily without having to replace anything? My 32 has a power fc, would I need to change to an r33 or r34 power fc?

Cheers,

Drew

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed to hear!

Car is booked in to have the swap done in 2 weeks....better get my hands on an engine :S

So are you gonna get another Toyota or something completely different? I want clues!

Lol I know what that's like. I waited months and months to get my hands on a GTR....and then I spun a bearing in less than 36 hours of ownership. So now it's back to thumb twiddling until its fixed haha

Bourbons has a way of loosening the tongue :whistling: , that and a great woman! :P

I may be able to assist you Werdna Zeb_Drew. Thy shall not alert others of your thoughts

We shall see young Skywalker, may the force be with you :starwars:

Pulls hard hey - the car that is :) imagine an after market ECU :D

Back on topic

- yes definately buy a v good 32 or 33 RB26 or even a complete crate motor. Make certain it has the 33 crank/collar and a good oil pump. Drop straight in and problem solved.

Rebuilds are very expensive, (having gone this route twice myself).

ok lets back-track a little bit.....

so the new car is a JZA70 or is going to be a JZA70? are you getting it from canberra? coz i thought there were only about 10 A70's at most in the ACT lol

I WANT PICS!!!!! and also a ride in it coz i've never even been in a 1J powered car sad.gif lol

now back on topic.....it completely slipped my mind that late model R32 rb26's were ok. the problem we're having at the moment is tracking one down in good condition....

can you guys think of any places i can call? I'm waiting for import monster and justjap to get back to me at the moment but the toy shop said they don't really have anything

haha, the GF gave the nod of approval, so the new car will be the JZA70 :D

and Yes Canberra,

As for the RB26's, I would go for a R33 unit unless you can sight the long pump drive yourself

I think there are a couple forsale is the FS section on here, but I assume you want a warranty?

do you have any pics of it? all JZA70's were manual with the R154 yeah?

unfortunately i can't tell just by looking if the engine will have a long pump drive. but I'm not particularly fussed about a warranty. i only know of 1 complete rb26 being sold in the for sale section on here

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
