Hi everyone 

I own a 1998 r33 sedan 40th anniversary that is currently running a 20e engine and drivetrain. I've brought a rb25det that comes with a r33 loom ect, I want to install the motor onto the 20e auto box will this work/last this will be temporary untill I have enough money to buy a 25det manual setup, I will be upgrading the radiator, putting in a trans cooler & will install a front mount intercooler. 

Cheers looking forward to hear your feedback.

Oh that is cruel Nissan, putting 2l single cam in an r33.

I don't know how deep the troubles will be; wired in correctly the loom will cover the engine operation, but the gearbox is almost certainly electronically controlled and needs to talk to the ECU. So unless the AT control unit and ECU understand each other that will be a problem. It may be easier to go straight to manual

Also....this sort of thing always costs much more than you expect if you are paying someone,  because there will be a heap of unknowns you pay to fix by the hour. Don't start if your budget is tight already.

Thanks guys, I've done a few big auto electrical stuff on cars so that's not my main worry atleast for now xD, my main concern was that 20e gearbox not lasting 1year or so, I guess there is alot of varibles on how I drive the car etc. I've done a few decent builds in the past that have blown out of budget by nearly double the original budget. Maybe it's best to for me to hold onto the motor and start collecting parts and also buying the manual conversion and smashing it all in at once. 

Cheers for your help

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
