My mate is putting a rb20det into his r33 just as a skid pig to learn to drift.

Now we have a r32 rb20det with loom and ecu.

Dash plug pins done match.

And square plug under airbox pins dont match. Need some advice to set this all up.

We cant even find any wiring info for the RB20e R33 to even begin to figure it out.

So any infomation would be good.

Or any tips to make it run with out it being wired to the car, more like its just sitting there to hold it.

And dont just say get a rb25... picked this motor up for $200 with a rebuilt head.

And getting this wired up will help when his RB30DET goes in as he has a R32 RB25 head. Cheers

done match? so you've done the matching

I believe you mean don't match.. both very different words with different meanings.

Because it'a R33, I would suggest investigating on a R33 GTS-t loom and swap the injector pins to suit. Then splice the sensor wires into the R32 sensors. Of course a RB20DET doesn't have VCT so you can just terminate those wires.

Not really rocket science, you'll work it out.

We got it running found some info from someone thats done the swap.

And regards to the comment about small tyres, I have a friend who drifts a single cam non turbo rb20e r32 and goes out with the big boys. A turbo twin cam rb20det will do just fine. The one problem I have with community is the hate towards RB20'S

fuel pump on switch idea isn't smart.

I would use the ECU to trigger your fuel pump, so when the motor isn't turning the pump stops.. good for when there's a crash, and a fuel line ruptures etc. and there's no fuel being pumped everywhere

Ok well I guess we will sort a new feed for that then, didnt think to far into it at this stage.

Ill have to look more into it because the normal power feed etc was somehow running 12v constant so the car would stay running with the key out as a turbo timer would act. So ill have to either get the ecu trigger to work, may wire up a relay using the ecu trigger and the 12v switched feed and get it going that way, either that or anything that only feeds 12v with the engine running haha. More investigation is needed for the next step... dont worry though guys his car is miles away from being ready to drive

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
