Deciding What Way To Go For A Engine For The Skyline

[siki]

Hey guys im in decisive on wether i should put a r33 gtr motor and gearbox into my r34 skyline or go with a r34 rb26 instead.

I've been priced on the 33 and its tempting but im not sure on what the complete differences are and what would be worth more my while

Isn't it typically illegal to put an older motor into your car when you do an engine-swap?

I'd be checking your local motor authority about it...

He might be able to do it. I know in NSW you an put an RB30 into a VN,VP, VR commodore because those cars are under the same ADR rules (ADR 37/00) which ran up until 1997.

Depends what year your R34 is and if you're able to find a late r33 rb26.

dont worry about the laws mate, u shoould be ok if u dont f**k around too much.

to answer ur question better u need to give a little more info on what u want from the car dude.

how much power do u want?

if u arent looking for more than around 325 rwkw u can easily get this from an rb25det NEO engine with a bit of strengthening mods and a turbo kit like a gt35r

if u dont want to much lag u can build an rb25/30. the r34 neo head has a few similarities to a gtr head so u ouldnt really need to go the gtr head. it would also be a lil less detectable to the police becuase u have a 25 head on there. this would give u way more torque and resposnse + u could get more power think 350-400 depending on the turbo kit u choose.

whats ur budget?

building an engine isnt cheap so speak to some GOOD mechanics about what u want.

im doing my 26/30 at the moment and the whole car has cose me around 80k so far (this includes alot more then the engine, my engine has gone past 28k so far and isnt finished but my power goals are alot more than 350kw)
