Anybody know if there is any difference between the RB26 in a R33 GTR and a R34 GTR?

R33 RB26 runs on petrol or ethanol if tuned for it

R34 RB26 runs on sheer arrogance and pleasant smelling feces, from factory

[Plattsy]

cant run if silk or satin is anywhere near the paint tho.

[T.D]

Yeh.. security guards come with the 34 engine

R34 made of unobtainium, R33 mere metal.

LOL! Ahhhh, THAT "R34 GTR only meet" memory still lingers hahaha

Bit too broad of a question.

Which variant and in what area? There are numerous minor changes.

Also this.

Just the turbos / dumps the MAIN change I thought?

yea dumps are different.

I'm asking mainly because I'm doing some research for my next project (for like, 2 years down the track LOL) and am considering either a R33 GTR or R34 GTR.

Problem is, R34 owners still think selling a tidy 34R for almost the same price as a 2nd hand 35 is reasonable. Which has lead me to consider the R33 GTR as being the most bang for buck within the next 2 years.

Basically looking to make a somewhat responsive ~400awkw on E85, using twin low mounts (either -5s or -10s, going by the research I've been doing) with a stock underbonnet look (EAD EPA!!). Have noticed ALOT of 34Rs hitting these figures (or close to) but not hearing too much about the 33Rs doing the same.

A 33R is easily the best value R going around if you want a fast R

No surprise though, the same is true for the GTS-Ts

32 is in classic territory and owners with bubbles dashes selling for a grand two under 33R prices, sometimes more, despite the 33R being mechanically superior

34R remains twice the price of a 33R for something of similar condition and modification level

Is it because GTR or because 400awkw?

(Serious question)

Nice! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the 33R is the most bang for buck at the moment. What about in terms of extracting engine performance compared to the 34? Mainly based around my goal of hitting ~400awkw with a stock looking engine bay?

Because both

[Birds]

Don't see why it would be any easier on the 34 when you have to swap turbos for that anyway.

GTS-Ts make close to that with E85 with big highflows, should be able to get it with big RB26 highflows for a stock look or -7s for a little less stock

[UNR33L]

Suppose with a GTST you get an extra 10k ish playing money straight away. Although that 10k will disappear fast so almost worth going the GTR, depends how serious you want to get involved on track I guess.

If it was me I'd be looking for a half done 33R (money already spent on turbos/built engine etc) and proof with receipts and stretch budget of car purchase to ~28k ish depending on mods and quality ofcourse..

400awkw is easily achievable, ash did it with a stock looking bay, and so did george.
-5s and the most aggresive tune known to man.

[Down_Shift]

Another rejection, looks like I'll have a mech eng degree with no job ever.

rb26's all pretty much same same cept slightly different

If its just power you can do it pretty easily with an rb25 too, but if you want the traction yeah get a GTR

and agreed a 33r is where its at. 34r costs twice as much when a 33r is 95% of the car a 34R is

Also securty guards arent cheap

[Mohsen]

can someone fill me in on this security guard thing?

[Sunkist]

Shuttup moh

Damn, feel for you man

[emts]

just get grant to build one then wait for him to go drinking beer in europe again and have to sell it......

[Odium]

Just drove my baby home... damn it feels good now Made 277kw with a lovely looking fat curve.

Went via Pedders Ringwood (unannounced) and jumped in a queue for an alignment. 4 hours of walking around Eastland, watching the locals, later. All done and good to go and it's ready for Saturday.

I'm *shudder* driving *shudder* to the work Christmas party on Friday night. Booooo

Oh another well known person died... Tell me about the other hundreds that die in a day that aren't recoginised, oh you don't think about that? Maybe you should take a walk through a cemetery once every now and then and stop joining the f**king bandwagon #endrant

Not trying to be a cunt, but it annoys me how people are so ignorant
