Wanting To Put An R-33 Gtr Engine In My Gts-t.

[aleisha]

hi everybody this is my 1st post so please be kind lol,um where to start.......well i bought an r33 gtst series 1 a few months ago pretty cheap and noticed something was wrong with it the other week so i had it tested and a compression test on the engine found out its dying.

so i was either thinking of getting a 2nd hand engine and doing some mods or getting an r33 GTR engine and having that put in.

can you tell me what would be better doing?how much messing around would it be to put a GTR engine in and what would need to be done?

be waiting for your replies.

Hi Aleisha and welcome!

So sad to hear of something dying - even if it's an engine.

Perhaps you can PM "satanic" and talk to Stan about what he's done to his R34 GT-T (ie dropping a GT-R block in + all the fruit).

I wouldn't mind you sending me your Avatar so that I can use it in my hypnosis clinic hehe.

I've got a Subie too an XT - next to my 'Line

Its a bit more complicated that just pull the engine and drop a 26 in.

The wallet will be much easier off going with a rebuild on the RB25DET.

Typically, you'd find a GTR half cut, and swap in the engine, and all the other fruit, like bigger radiator, FMIC, brake's, etc.

Running an RB26 with 25 accessories is a bad idea.

welcome aleisha,your better off getting the 2nd hand RB25DET and doing it up.

it will cost you a fortune,for starters a gtr engine aint cheap and you will have to get alot of work done to get it running right.

you could easily get a 300rwkw gtst for the amount it would cost you to drop a gtr engine in your car and all the work that will have to get done.

I second this. When I was looking at skylines (obviously bought a 32 gtr though) I test drove some 33 gts-t's. There was this yellow series two in particular that I tested and it was freakin quick. Still retained the RB25, so I can definately vouch for its potential. From what I hear there is just too much trouble putting a gtr engine in for what its worth, it just sounds cool to say you have a gtr engine lol.

i was thinking of gettin this transplant done (r33 gtr rb26dett in r33 gtst )

why would this not be worth it? is it realy that much of a difficult conversion?

i would like to know wot is involved in gettin it fitted...i may hav an rb26 available from a mate for a good price

thanks

Why not build an rb30 for it? Should be cheaper than an 2b26 conversion
