Gareth-WilliamsR33

Hey guys ive been faced with either fixing my engine or buying another one, i drive a 1993 R33 Gtst which has the RB25det motor. I was wondering if i was able to rip that engine out and drop in a RB26dett engine, is everything compatible with each other if i do this? Would there be any issues at all that would require more work done to sync my car up to handle the RB26 motor? How much of a difference performance wise do either engine offer? Cheers fellas

i had the same problem with my R33, my windows were working fine when i bought the car then it suddenly got increasingly difficult to put my window up and down, i would hear the same clicking sounds that u heard. what the clicking sounds are is the ignition sound to the small motor the window is connected to that makes it go up and down, so if your contantly flicking the switch up and down and all u hear is clicking... it means ur motor has burned out, i took mine to get fixed at a local car electric joint, they only charged me around 60 bucks, my window is good as new. so hopefully that helps you out

My car sits fairly low, since ive had it ive taken out a small chunk out of the rear bumper and some concrete grazes on the front of it.. I cant find midnight purple touch up paint i think its just too much of a specific colour for it to be sold like an everyday product.. Any idea's?

Yeah just thinking about it, it does have a slight wrx idle to it

Whats the best way to notice if my car is miss firing? i dont exactly hoon around in the car all that much im a fairly casual driver, so if i put my foot down what sort of reaction should i be looking for? I havnt noticed any smoke coming out of it, ive parked it up somewhere secure and safe until i figure out whats wrong with it. Mechanic said if i continue to drive it around it will eventualy start spitting oil and cause more damage... Kinda annoying coz ive just had the head reconditioned due to the timing belt snapping which was a 3 grand operation, now he tells me the bottom needs doing with new pistons... I just wana make sure hes not pulling my leg coz i dont know a whole lot about cars.

Hey people im hoping for some help here, i took my skyline r33gtst to get minor work done and just its regular check up.. The mechanic told me he noticed the car was miss- firing, ( bare with me as im not all that knowledge based with cars) he put my hand up to a small pipe that was blowing out air in small bursts, then put my hand up to the exhaust.. I couldnt quite understand what he was on about, but basicaly told me one of my piston rings is cracked or broked meaning my car is running on 5 cylinders, not 6. He told me the engine has to be pulled out and needs new pistons... Im just wondering if theres an alternate explanation for what hes telling me is wrong, or is there a way i can test my car to get a 100% notibility with what the problem actualy is or if theres a problem at all, i personaly didnt know anything was wrong with my car before he told me it needs major work done, it runs beautifuly. So any feed back would be greatly appreciated, cheers
