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.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
