Need to know asap if an rb26 from a 32 gtr will fit a 33 GTR with no problems etc?

It's a GTR, there are never 'no problems'

But yes, it will fit

Wouldn't stop it from fitting. Are going to do some work to the engine? The difference that springs to mind for me is the crank and oil pump situation. If you're going to pull the engine down and beef it up then you'd consider using an R33 crank and decent oil pump. If you want to keep a stock engine I'd actually be looking for a R33 engine- you'd be more likely to sell the car if you needed to also. For me it's more about the age of the R32 engine ( I don't believe in the k's)- unless you're pulling it down (and then going with new/bigger turbos, crank etc,) I wouldn't consider the saving over an R33 engine to be worth it for the difference in value it makes to your car.

Ah, then you'll need to work out whether the difference you save in the engine cost is going to be worth the (lower) price you'll get for the car. Your call, but do put yourself in the shoes of a prospective buyer.

Hi Adam, I am wondering now if you still want my R33 motor @89km genuine, with mechanics report on compression check & dyno sheet 214hp @4w bog standard boost (both from Tenagah Motorsport) removed from an RS260 family wagon for $4k plus 50% of freight cost ex Perth. I need to know else I am wasting my time & money travelling to Perth, getting the motor freight ready for shipping etc., at my cost without a deposit or any financial committment to date on your part in the transaction. Of course their is no warranty implied or otherwise, I have no control over the install or treatment the engine will be later subjected to.

Personally I have never pushed the motor past 6k, there having never been any need to, dyno sheet is posted for info & as I said motor was changed out for an N1 because I could, no other reason, give it a 100k service & drive it.

My 2c, no offence.

Cheers GW :P

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
