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.

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.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
