Don't be silly!! Why would you want to swap such a tough engine in the FJ with something as not so tough as the SR??? Putting an RB into a DR i can understand but im not a fan of the idea but the SR!! *shudders* YUCKSKI'S!! Leave the SR in the silvia's/poosars :cheers:

Id love to do the SR20 conversion. Mount it way back so its like a front/mid mount engine and it weighs nothing compared to the RB being all alloy (as far as I know). It would make the car 50kg lighter and turn in and braking would be fantastic. I would only have to worry about 4 coil packs crapping themselves

(This is purely speculation that has no scientific merit which is by definition, speculation)

Why in the bloody hell would you put an SR20 into something that has the mighty FJ?? Have you seen how much room there is between the firewall and the back of the motor in a DR??? You can have a bloody picnic back there!! Why not just move the FJ back further??? I thinking that the SR should just stay where the SR is, just my school of thought....

BTW coil packs crapping themselves isnt really a problem.......

Has anyone ever mounted the FJ20 back for better weight distribution? What gearbox do you use? What do you do with the mounts?

How much heavier is the RB20 than the SR20?

18kg is still a fair amount and is backed by a six speed box. Its also more common and has newer tech so if you're tight like me it would have to be the cheapest way to go. (Not necessarily the strongest or most potential)

Actually only the S15 scores a 6 speed box outta the SR20 range....

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
