I have a non turbo R33 gts 95 r33 M spec.

A .Can i put an r33 GTR motor in it , engine mounts, wiring etc with out to much trouble.

B .I live in brisbane aust how much would it cost to import a secondhand reconditioned GTR motor.

C .I can either do the above with gtr bodykit,mags,badges or would it be a better idea to sell my car buy a decent r33 gts-t and attempt to bring it up to 300kw

Thxs opinion appreciated

Sell the thing and buy one that was fitted with a turbo standard.

Why you might ask well:

the na has weaker

diff

suspension

breaks

ect...ect

the cost of upgrading all of the things to a gts-t level would be much much more than the differance of the two cars, therefore if ya want a turbo, buy a car that was built with one (or Two) from factory.

DAMQIK.

Call me a picky bugger, but there's no such thing as a non turbo "M spec". M spec designates the turbo version of the R33 RWD range.

You've made the right choice, selling & starting with a turbo model.

Sounds to me like 33GTS-4 with big brakes fitted. If it is, then you could also consider getting a GTR front cut and swapping in all the bits. This would be the low cost way, but is a lot of work.

If you sell your car and buy a GTR it is going to save a lot of trouble, but cost more. Depends on how you value your time, and if you have the tools, knowledge, and facilities I suppose.

Hippy,

That’s what I call “taking me literally” :lol: :mad:

CK69,

The range of factory options for the R33 (& other models) is huge! The factory body kit could be selected on the turbo or non-turbo. Pitty they didn’t offer 4WD as an option (except the GT-R). If your R33 has 4WD & isn't a GT-R then it the R33 GTS-4.

i know what you mean! i saw the prices too and i nearly cried... didnt full on cry though... i'm strong :lol:

BTW: anyone know how much for 1JZ and 2JZ engine? are they more or less expensive than a GTR motor? coz in terms of build quality, they are about the same.

Add all the bits that you need plus fitting and you'll probably cry.

It is in it's own way a better motor. 2JZ have more and better torque than RB26. Also more reliable cause it's doesn't rev as hard as the RB26.

I assume it would also be expensive.

I reckon the beat bargin motors going around are the RB20's.

The 2JZ-GTE is 3 litres, it has the same 86mm bore as the RB26, but the stroke is 86mm. Sort of like an RB30DET. If the bore is the same in both engines, the valve and port sizes are most probably also the same or very close.

I have no idea what a 2JZ-GTE costs, but I doubt if it would be all that cheap either.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
