hey guys, recently I picked up a genuine nissan r33 thermostat and fuel filter. the items were advertised as fitting an r33 gtst but when they arrived in the mail i realised that they're for a gtr. the thermostat is exactly the same for a gtst and gtr so I can use that but the fuel filter i'm not so sure about as it has that little bend in the top line and is a bit bigger. is it safe to use on a gtst? any reason why I shouldn't hook it up? any advice appreciated :)

id say send it back and get the proper kit.

If you ordered GTST then get GTST.

Id say anybody on here can only speculate on whether it will be ok or not to actually use the GTR one.

Incidentally what number does the face of the thermostat have etched in it? (the thermostat crack temperature)

the only real difference between fuel filters is the size of the bodies and the shape, angle and size of the lines, and any possible fittings on the end of the lines. as long as you can get the fuel lines onto the filter then there will be no issue using it. it's not like they are a performance item. the filter used on the GTR is the same as used on the SSS pulsar, and the gts-t one is the same as what's used on a 1.0L micra.

thanks mad082... exactly what I wanted to know! normally I'd go ryco filters but saw a genuine Nissan thermostat and fuel filter package off ebay for $35 and couldn't pass it up. The thermostat has 76.5 etched on it. will let u know how the fitting goes. Thanks guys :)

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
