hey guys,

sorry if this in the wrong section please move if so.

But i was wondering if i could turbo my NA R33 ? I was thinking of buying an RB25det taking the turbo manifold off and bolting it onto mine or just do a full engine swap. i'm on my red Ps' in QLD and wanted to ask this question befoer going out and paying for a exemption application.

thanks

Sell car and buy turbo version. Cheaper, smarter, better but if you really want to turbo your na you can or put an ls1 in it. I'm sure others will come along to give u some good advice.

thanks for the quick reply, i don't really wanna sell my first car that i bought but i wouldn't mind a turbo either, my friends told me buying an RB25det second hand and using the motor as a spare isn't a bad idea but neither is spending a lot of money.

Svn,

Honestly, these threads get created often and the answer to the question is to just sell your NA and buy a GTST.

You will save loads of time and money, they can be had for very cheap these days.

Lots of the time the people asking the question still think its a good idea just to pull the engine out and put a RB25DET in it.

But then you have to think about other parts on your car which do not suit the turbo or are not up to spec eg. Brakes.

Just learn to drive right now, there is a reason why you aren't allowed to drive a turbo car.

Once you get off your P plates, go spend the money on a nice GTST, GTR or GTT

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • 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.
