Im just about to fit my 26/30 in the engine bay of my R33 GTST. The steel engine mount brackets i got with the block doesnt line up with the RB25 rubber mounts in the bay though :S

I feel really stupid here but anyway, it seems like the angle of the brackets is a bit to much and they just seem like they should sit closer further ack on the block :thumbsup:

Also if someone got pics of their mounts i would be glad!

Use matching brackets and mounts..

It sounds like you have RB30 mounts on the block and 33gtst brackets in the engine bay.. IIRC the RB30 mounts sit the engine slightly further back than the 32/33gtst mounts.

Thanks for your help! Ye i was really fussed about what brackets to use with what mounts ;)

TiTAN> I can see you have a R33 GTS-30T in your info, so you say that i can/should use the factory R33 GTST engine bracketes and mounts?

Might have solved the problem! Im using universal rubber mounts with an offset of the bolts of about 40mm, bolted straight in. Might make a spacer for the LHS engine bracket since the engine is leaning a bit and he bolt and bolthole doesnt flat out :spank:

Anyways, the engine is in place and i can start with the exhaust manifolds!! Yeeeaaay :D

BTW, the rubber mounts costs 10 AUD/piece :)

I know I'm pulling out an old thread but I'm doing the same. 

A rb26/30 into R33 S2. 

And was told that i need custom mounts as the rb30/26 is taller then a Rb26dett or Rb25det to it fouls the bonnet. 

 

Is this true or not. 

 

Cheers.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
