Hi guys,

Interested in your opinions on the teeth of the below starter motors.

The starter on my S2 R33 has been getting pretty lazy for a long time now. Its part number is 23300 08U15. I am running a Cusco chromoly flywheel but I doubt this affects anything.

Pics of the starter motor 08U15 I removed are attached and marked "original starter".

I obtained a second hand replacement from a friend (labelled "new" in the images), which was removed off his RB25 (S1 however). Part number is 23300 08U10. The unit itself on the outside is identical, solenoid position etc all match.

Inside they are slightly different re the number of magnets etc - but I am not concerned with that. My concern is the teeth which engage to the ring gear are completely different. I counted 15 on this unit, but not only that, the circumference of the teeth appear to be a lot smaller.

I have read that all RB starters are interchangeable - I simply want to check that, against the images contained within.

I note I didn't find another thread with pictures like this.

Anyone have an opinion on whether the different teeth with affect engagement with the flywheel? Hoping to bolt the new one back in tonight and I don't want to do any damage!

As long as the teeth are the same height (each, tip to base of tooth) and as long as the outer circumference of the teeth is the same distance away from the line running through the mounting bolt holes, then the teeth will happily and merrily engage in the teeth on the flywheel. The different number of teeth is more than likely a result of the different motor configuration (number of poles basically) and compensates for the different speed of the motor.

So measure up the engagement depth of both gears relative to the mounting bolt line and see what you have. Given the well reputed interchangeability of RB starters, I would hazard a guess that you will find them to be the same.

      It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in

      Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
