i've done a search trying to get info on putting a r33 gtr engine into an r32 gtr. Found this on the difference between them performance wise

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=92904&hl=

in it found this info - r33 has pull clutch unlike th r32 which is push.

my mate is putting a r33 gtr engine in his r32 and is under the impression that it will bolt straight up to everything. Keeping in mind using r33 ecu, loom and turbos. (using r32 gearbox, clutch + so on)

im not so sure.

can people please list some threads or problems that he might run into. thankyou

if clutches are different then this will cause a big problem? yes/no

yeah the engine will bolt directly up. the r32 gtr ecu should also run it.

r33 ecu and loom is WAYYYYY differant to the r32 gtr one. e.g the r33 have the battery in the boot!

just bolt in the r33 rb26 and use the r32 gtr ecu and loom.

cool, that'll save him some cash. umm, what bout clutches, pull/push. doesn't matter or is that incorrect?????????

it will all go in.

hel need to use the 32 clutch and flywheel.

also the 32  02 sensors. diferant. it will have drivability problems.

Drivability problems???

Why is that???

Aren't these engines very similar???

this is happening and if we are going to run into major problems then he'll be probably be better off getting a 32gtr engine.

i'm guessing someone must have done this before, can you please put in your two cents.

i'm sorry if this has been discussed at length before but i can't find anything. thankyou

32 02 senors are a "titanium" type. they work completly diferantly.much like a proper a/f sensor but not as advanced.

they vary a voltage going through them acording to the a/f ratio. rather than put out a ocilating voltage. i think.

33 ones are the normal type whatever that is.

besides i used a 33 computer on mine 89gtr(a/c testing etc) and full throttle is fine but light throttle was so bad i thought i had a dud afm!!

basicly any throtthe opening where closed loop control is used {everthing except full throttle}

it will buck and carry on and give him the shits.

wont notice it till they are up to temp.

i first ran in to this when i thought id use a 33 computer to get the better programing.(more torque)

hope that clears t up.

hey guys, i'm the mate who is getting the engine put in. Just signed up to the forum today. thanks for all the information, youv'e convinced me it's worth being a member. Hope to catch up with ya all if/when the car is back on the road. thanks again, will keep ya's posted with the progress.

here's some pics of my baby, not much to look at yet but give me time :P:):O

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
