is it though??? is there anything u should look for in the converstion?? any bad way of coverting it etc???

Is it only engine? I know clutch/gearbox is different and no idea if they bolt together directly.

im still asking questions but yer by the sounds of it just the engine

[HOSTILE]

I am not a mechanical expert by any means but as far as I know there is not a huge amount of difference....

I know the clutch changed from a push type to a pull type (or the other way round) but I dont think there was any major changes otherwise.

Basically the fresher the engine the better!

what benifits are there having a 33 gtr engine in it over a 32 engine?

And the cons of it

[typevu]

Its a year to half a decade newer?

lol yeah.... but no, there were subtle differences as each model was refined over the previous one... torque ratings also changed marginally too.

As I said I am no expert but things like minor head improvements/ valve springs things like this I believe to have been improved in later RB26s.

No real downside to having a newer motor.

as far as i know they have fixed up the oil problems with the 33 engine, someone probably should confirm this, but thats about it for major imporvements, im sure they have done some further tweaking to it as well

the late modle r32 gtrs had the pull type clutch as well

i dont think there is a down side to having a 33 engine in it, as far as bolting it in its the same, so no tricky mounting issues, probably want to find out the turbos it has on it...

just think of it almost like having the engine rebuilt... thats a good thing right??

i guess just asking so i dont get cought out

[Tangles]

good luck with it mate

ask for cert of compliance (from regency, engineer etc etc)

all paperwork for newer engine install etc

sounds coolio's

Funny thing I've noticed with my car is that worse case scenario when I drive like my foot is attached to the floor isn't that much worse than when I drive like a granny. Conclusion: My foot stays planted now.

yeah i found this out in my GTS4 off boost and on boost = negligible km's

the main difference between 33 and 32 is transfer case and as pointed out engine torque and maybe oil

i was under the impression bog stock R32 GTR makes around 174 RWKW = 206ish flywheel KW this is what another user made here cant remember his user name for the life of me

[andz]

tbh, i wouldnt chip out 20k hard earned cash to buy it

dont know if it was done professionally...etc

save a bit more and get the 33gtr

[Madaz]

i remember who had the GTR with 174rwkw it was SlimJim @ boostworx too
