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

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
