Visually how can you tell the difference between an r32,33,and 34 RB26DETTs. Mainly what is the difference in colors of the different motors. I am about to order an R33 RB26 and i wanna know how to make sure i dont get a 32 for the price of a 33

Engine number is the best way, there are visual differences but can be changed to look like the later model, its harder to make it look like its a 34 because of the CAS and exhaust cam, Much easier to make a 32 look like 33 engine though .

Anyone know if the R33's rb26's are black like the R32's?

Yes they are black , like i said before only minor differences in appearance and can be changed so you cant tell, like oil cap, cas etc....the main one is crank but you cant see that . Just check the engine number , then you will know for sure .

I've read that R34 motors do not have an ignitor at the back of the head as they are incorporated into the coil packs?

Correct and the CAS won't fit the 32+33's unless you change the exhaust can as well .

I think blackrbs13 is only concerned about 32+33 engines. I think he has been told he is getting a 33 and he wants to make sure he doesn't end up with a 32.

Cheers Jerry, received loud and clear :(

I remember reading in one of the import magazine that R34 cams are a good upgrade for R32! :(

Yeah i mainly was just trying to learn how to verify that motor i am getting is a 33. I asked about the 34's also mainly because you see RB26's all kinds of different colors in magazines and I thought maybe some of the stock motors came in different colors. So I was just asking for the sake of information. Thanks for the input though guys. I am gonna try and get them to give me the engine number before they ship it so i can check and be sure.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
