Hi all,

I'm currently driving and am soon to take ownership of an R33 GTS with a factory RB20E. Pretty new engine too... it's only done 360,000 :s lol. I know, I lose at Skylines, but I'll put a real engine in it in the not-too-distant. It's not that fast, but it's so smooth and it has a beautiful note to it. For now it's just nice to have something to drive other than Dad's Grand Vitara, or my half-broken SVD N13, haha.

Looking forward to tidying it up and pouring money into it!

Cheers to all,
B.

Neither did I, nor did I know they could keep running so smoothly after this many k's. It's honestly the smoothest engine I've driven with. My diff, on the other hand... that's dying :(

Well this makes me feel a little better about my r32 with 280,xxxkms.. Lol

welcome.

2 options, engine swap, or, leave as is for rarity value.

how many others are out there?

wouldnt be many.

like the carby 32s, worth more because theyre rare.

if you do go with the swap, bloke on here has done an ls1 conversion with decent results.

or, tried and proven 25 or 26.

either way, good luck with it

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
