Hay Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can put an RB26dett engine and gear box, including the front wheel drive into an R33 GTST. Cause I was thinking of doing it......

HAs this been done before? Are the engine mounts the same? Will the GTST drive shaft fit and do you have to replace the diff?

I can't wait to here what you guys think.

Cheers

Gold Rays

Ive seen an RB26DETT (without the 4wd stuff) in a 4 door R33 and it wasnt as easy as just swapping everything over. It took about three days for a mechanic who specialises in skylines to iron out all the little problems. i think electrics were more of a problem than mechanical. it had bigger turbos, a powerfc and avcr too. that being said, make sure you reasearch it first....

I'd say it would be cheaper in the long run to sell your GTSt and buy a GTR.. Otherwise pick up a GTS4 and drop an RB26 into that, then you have ATTESA...

A mate of mine has put an RB26 into his GTS, engine dyno'd at over 700hp, thing is an animal in the dry in any gear... I like the grip of my GTR :D

i don't bother me if I can't get the FWD. I want to do what your mate did.

I heard you could buy some sort of 4WD kit for a GTST!!!

I will be doing all the installing work with help of a few mechanics for free, so i don't have to worry about the cost of that. Only the cost of the front cut.

Another question: Is the GTR chasis the same as a GTST?

Hi Gold Rays, last time I priced a half cut R33 GTR it was close enough to $12K, to that you would need to add the cost of an R33 GTR tail shaft, rear diff, rear uprights, brakes, drive shafts, suspension arms, fuel tank, fuel pump, rear outer guards, rear inner guards, panel beating, painting etc etc

Someone already said it, "I'd say it would be cheaper in the long run to sell your GTSt and buy a GTR"

Plus in the end you would still have a GTST, not a real GTR.

My thoughts anyway

All RB block patterns are the same so it should just bolt straight in. Don't know about the 4WD though.

And 1989 R32 GTR's are going for about 15K in Jap land ATM so you may want to just upgrade. Check out prestige motorsports mailing list.

Here are another couple from Prestige motors. I have been receiving their emails for a while and they are getting really cheap.

    • Which model Maxima? This is good knowledge to have.
    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
