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!

-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.

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.

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) :D

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.... :D

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...?"

    • I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha
    • To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.
    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
