How Do I Tell The Difference Between A R32 And R33 Rb26?

[stunnd]

Hi guys,

I was planning on MAYBE buying an r33 rb26 engine but because its from QLD i was gonna just get him to send it down here via courier. If i do get it and it gets sent down here, how do i know that ill be loking at an r33 engine instead of an r32? are there engine numbers or something that i should be looking out for? thanks for the help!

I wouldn't know myself, but I would like to know what your doing with your current 32 rb26, if your buying a new one

-the knock sensor loom has a different plug. (just pull the one off the 32 motor and bolt it on the 33 donk)

-the heater hoses at the rear are larger on the 33 than the 32 (I just made a step down inline brass reducer)

-Also Use your R32 GTR dash water temp sensor in the 33 motor. ( the 33 sensor didnt register anything on the dash)

pulled from a similar thread.

or get the engine number and post it in the NISSAN FAST thread, ask nicely and someone will look it up for you.

R32 RB26s have a back cam cover, the R33s and R34s have red ones

r33 has a small canister on one of the metal fuel lines running under the front of the plenum, i think it's the return.

r32 fuel rail has two tabs / tangs on the rear for mounting the lower section of the loom plugs, r33 has one front and one rear.

only R34 has red cam covers.

my r32 rb26 has blue rocker covers...

Pull the engine apart and inspect the crank

Still wont mean anything if its a later r32 rb26.

well, i think the GTR is gonna be up for sale soon...for one petrol is a killer! and 2 i just wanna get out of the performance scene (streetwise anyway)

so its just an idea at the moment and probably wont go through with it, but the girlfriend said that i should maybe build some type of track car - at least it'll keep me (very) busy on the weekends as im a useless sh*te wen it comes to working on cars...haha...

so i was thinking of MAYBE putting in a R33 engine into my R32 and sell it off as a standard GTR kos i wont get much more for it with a worked engine...

ive spent all this money on the engine and neva got to see its full potential so with the track car idea i can at least drop the engine into another car and see wat it can do....

BUT there is the financial side of things....

c'mon you cant complain about petrol its not that bad lol, as for the motor drop it into a 67 mustang and go drift Mt Ainslie

Petrol prices should come down a little as the price per barrel has dropped a fairly decent amount recently.

My theory is, plan for the fact that petrol is not going to go down, if it does, bonus, but it will keep going up. We are pretty lucky to have had it so cheap for so long (look at how much the UK has been paying for it for a long time...).

Satan is whispering in my ear "how much will you sell your GTR for...?"
