Hey guys im new to the site and just seeking some information from the guru’s 

 

soi have a s2 r33 factory gts25 sedan auto and long story short it’s become a 20e manual somewhere in its life now im converting it back, ive been doing alot of research and cant find if the flywheel from the 20e and the crank pulley from the 20e will fit the Rb25, and can someone confirm id need a pink sticker afm and also if any blue sticker ecu works for does it need to be specific. But im sorted for everything else

Flywheel is the same. I would not expect the crank pulley to be the same, and I'm horrified that the 25 you appear to have bought did not have one on it. You might just have to buy aftermarket.

Pink sticker AFM, check. ECU? You need one with the right part number. I wouldn't base decision off of sticker colour!

The R33 did come with an RB20E from factory though I'm not sure you could bring one in.

There were a bunch of very disappointing R33s brought in with RB20Es. It was hilarious when people bought them thinking that all R33s were RB25!

Cool about the flywheel cheers, it has a crank pulley on the Rb25 but there is a chip in it and and it will tear the belt so was hoping it would be convenient lol, i was meant to write blue plug ecu not sticker sorry

Im in new zealand so we get a majority being a rb25de, but anyway my vin plate says rb25de and also the nz vehicle check site confirms stock rb25de, and it was a friend of mine that put the 20e in as he bought it as a rolling body then just put stuff he had laying around in it

    • Admin delete if not allowed please, I just purchased an r32 GTST with a Gtr front bar , grill I assume bonnet? (maybe) I have 2 questions he told me it had an RB25det I’m new to the RB world, and this is the photo I have taken and also I noticed a piece near my suspension broken is this fixable , will update new photos tomorrow once I have lifted her up and removed the LHS wheel I want to know if there is ways around this , I didn’t notice anything as it drove with no knocks on the suspension or weird feeling    the car feels sluggish, and the rpm cluster literally goes to 3.5-4k rpm and when you put your foot down it dances around like the local girl on Canterbury road or Sefton playhouse the car sat for 8 years he said the oil was dropped and re done , I noticed the oil was very clean car starts no problems by all means it’s not a clean car it is a project but doesn’t need much, knowing me I will go overboard the colour is horrible car has 88k kms hardly driven needs a few things but it’ll be fun to build properly    so guys is this an rb20 or rb25 and what is this bracket called? Can it be fixed thanks 
    • found this on the forum , suggests I am in the range  ----------------------------- From the segmented (potentially incorrect) information I've found that;  Early R32: RB26000XXXX to RB26002XXXX  Mid R32: RB26003XXXX (V-Spec I RB26-03XXXXX - Reference Classic Register) Late R32: RB26004XXXX (V-Spec II RB26-042XXXX - RB26-045XXXX - Reference Classic Register) Early R33: RB26005XXXX Mid R33: RB26006XXXX (as per the engine in this R32 V-Spec II, which is what I'm concerned about from legitimacy perspective) Late R33:  RB26007XXXX Early R34 (2000+):  RB26008XXXX ----------------------  
    • Now as I understand it the engine numbers are sequential for the rb26.  EG stamped - RB26040100A is a 40,100 engine.    Now they made between 1988 and 1994 43,834 R32 GTR's  In 1994 they made 7,464 r32 gtr's.  So if you have a ~37,000++ number RB26 it's "safe" ish to assume its an 1994 motor and a long nose crank ?    The long nose crank being introduced somewhere in Feb of 1993.
