Urgent Question Water Pump In 32gtr 33gtr

[dcanna]

Question- does an r33 gtr water pump fit an r32 gtr, if not, what is the best way to check if the engine is a 33gtr or 32gtr?

cheers

ps.

ALL THE BS

my brother bought an r32 gtr from a mate who put a new engine in it, the wrekers told him it was a 33gtr engine.

We had to put a new water pump in it and bought one for 33gtr, low and behold it leaks.

Guy we bought it off says it must be 32 engine because water pumps are different

Check kudos motorsport website for the water pump n see if they list it to suit both

Water pump is the same on all RB26 engines regardless of model. If it is leaking a small dribble from the snout on the front of the pump the seal will be stuffed. I would not reccomend useing a second hand water pump as a brnd new N1 pump is only around $280.00 dollars or so

just use a standard RB26 pump or even a VL one.

we bought brand new thats why im thinking its not original

just checked kudos if n1 pump fits all why would an r33 fit an r32?? wieird, they have diff part numbers

[dazmo]

Mate there is somthing up with whoever you have bought the pump through, But can garentee that the water pump is the same on all RB26 engines regardless of model mate. Maybe the supplier marks the pumps they sell with their own part no or somthing.

Nissan often have two part numbers for the exact same item.

Interestingly the point to note is the price is different between those two idential items

a VL pump is only $50-70 and lasts for 10-50,000 km or more [depending on use etc]......

That is incorrect.

I purchased a N1 water pump for my rb26 and it leaked due to a slot being where one of the bolt holes should have been. Which was what made it leak. I have heard of people welding the slot up and then re drilling the bolt hole.

A far as im aware, the r32 rb26 water pump is different to 33 and 34. Well thats with the N1 range anyway. I ended up selling the water pump to a member on here with a 34 and he had no problems..

silastic is your friend.......its a common thing and a common quick fix till next time.

yeh the dude reckons that there is a slight difference therefore r32 requires welding, well great to know $200 later in labour!

might wanna sticky this because its proven, that r32 is different from 33 or 34 waterpump therefore requires some sort of adjustment ie by welding
