Some guy on another forum, claims that R33 GTS came with RB20 engines, I certainly never heard of a R33 with RB20 stock from factory?

All I know is that they have RB25DE for the GTS and GTS-4

RB25DET for GTS-T

RB26DETT for GTR

Am I right or there was really a RB20 in existance?

RB20DE & RB20DET do exist, these are the engines for R32 GTS and GTS-t respectively.

I am not sure if any R33 variant uses RB20 engines, but I've read in HPI Magazine that R34 variants do come in RB20DE (GT-X ??), RB25DE (GT-S ??), & RB25DET (GT-T), so there is a possibility that some R33 GTS do equipped with the less inspiring RB20DE, I would say probably the 4-door model as some sedan variant are just like commuter/shop Corollas.

I would say it will make more sense that the coupe model only comes in RB25DE & RB25DET as more power is desired for sporty models.

Well just found out they do exists, but goddamn is there even 0.01% of a chance someone in this world would actually have a website with a RB20DE R33 or R34 lol.

I bet these would be quite a rare sight to see. :D

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, no probs.

A bit correction on my own post anyway...

RB20DE is R34 GT

RB25DE is R34 25GTX, and

RB25DET is R34 25GTT,

and of course...

RB26DETT = R34 GT-R !!!

i feel sorry for you ;P, hows she cope with that extra weight of the 33?

also once saw a gunmetal 32 around perth with a RB25DE (had a GTS25 sticker on the rear), unless the wannabe forgot the t on the end :-)

nup, this is a real model. N/A rb25 r32

yeah it still goes alright, i only got it to get used to the feel of the type of car and also didnt want all that extra turbo power straight away..... besides, i dont really care if it doesnt fly around everywhere on turbo etc...... it gets me around, and i like the type of car

wrong - try this instead:

GTS & GTS Type-G - RB20E

GTS25 & GTS25 Type-G - RB25DE

GTS4 - RB25DE

GTS Type-S & GTS25 Type-S - RB25DE

GTS25t Type-M - RB25DET

GTR & GTR V-Spec - RB26DETT

.. and just out of interest - all R33 GTS25t (or R33 GTS-T as they can also be known) are Type-M .. the Type-M does not mean it is a higher spec model as it was with the R32 Skyline.

    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
