hey guys

done a bit of a search but didnt come up with a great deal of info

i have a r33 4 door i am droping a rb26 into and instead of modding the sump and a few other parts, i am running twin hks td05 turbos and the rb25 engine mounts hit the external gates where as the 26 ones dont

so i was thinking if i could use a rb26 running gear

gbox

crossmember

hubs

axles

driveshaft

i would have to check my 2way to see what ratio it is so it matches but would there be any probles with doing this? i would like to keep the abs bit if i cant thats no worries

i would like to use the r32 set up so if can switch between awd and rwd

any tips, ideas or advice from someone who has done it would be sweet

thankyou

Ben

Hi mate ive got an rb26dett forged in my 4 door 33 but to run the GTR Running gear as you want the existing tunnell wont fit. You could belt up the tunnell to make the GTR gearbox fit but i didnt go down that path. It was a lot of work the car was off the road for about 4 months, Looms had to be changed to support the twiin turbo setup and twin afms. I ran the r34 gtt gearbox instead of the r33 gtst gearbox.....lost of sideways action but if you find out anyway to get the GTR running gear aka gearbox/ front drive shafts etc let me know coz traction is a problem when you got that much power going to the rear wheels only!!! PM me if need a hand with anything :P

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
