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


Recommended Posts

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...?"

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
