there was an R33 GTST in the for sale section with an RB26DETT conversion for around $20k i think.

HR33 has RB20E engine (can be sedan OR coupe afaik as some 2 doors came with this engine)

And ECR33 has RB25 series engine, and can be turbo (sedan + coupe) or non-turbo (type-s coupe).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are looking on carsales this can be confusing as many sellers seem to put down the wrong model designation.

H = 2.0L

E = 2.5L

B = 2.6L

C = HICAS (optional on both H and E R33's)

the rest you can figure out.

There's no chassis differences between S1 and S2 R33's. Both HR33's and ER33's came in 2 and 4 door variants.

R33's came with RB20E (HR33's), RB25DE, and RB25DET engines (ER33's). RB20E's make a staggering 80 something kw at the fly... so they're not eligible for import into australia anymore due to them not meeting power to weight ratio requirements (not that anyone ever misses em). A couple of em did sneak into the country under the old CPA scheme though. Type M's and Type S's are just packages of optional extras that were available to respective models.

Also, save yourself the money and troubles. If you want a GTR, buy a GTR, they're bloody cheap these days anyways, and they'll only get cheaper in the future when you're ready to upgrade.

Yes but GTS-t's and GTR's are very different, Rwd/4wd single turbo/twin turbo, if your a drifter the GTR is not for you. The RB26 swap into a R33 GTS isn't cost effective or nessesary put that money into the RB25 its a great engine too.

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
