Have a stupid question that I can't find an answer for...

Have an R32 GTR that needs a new engine. Wondering if an R33 or R34 rb26 will go in easily without having to replace anything? My 32 has a power fc, would I need to change to an r33 or r34 power fc?

Cheers,

Drew

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed to hear!

Car is booked in to have the swap done in 2 weeks....better get my hands on an engine :S

So are you gonna get another Toyota or something completely different? I want clues!

Lol I know what that's like. I waited months and months to get my hands on a GTR....and then I spun a bearing in less than 36 hours of ownership. So now it's back to thumb twiddling until its fixed haha

Bourbons has a way of loosening the tongue :whistling: , that and a great woman! :P

I may be able to assist you Werdna Zeb_Drew. Thy shall not alert others of your thoughts

We shall see young Skywalker, may the force be with you :starwars:

Pulls hard hey - the car that is :) imagine an after market ECU :D

Back on topic

- yes definately buy a v good 32 or 33 RB26 or even a complete crate motor. Make certain it has the 33 crank/collar and a good oil pump. Drop straight in and problem solved.

Rebuilds are very expensive, (having gone this route twice myself).

ok lets back-track a little bit.....

so the new car is a JZA70 or is going to be a JZA70? are you getting it from canberra? coz i thought there were only about 10 A70's at most in the ACT lol

I WANT PICS!!!!! and also a ride in it coz i've never even been in a 1J powered car sad.gif lol

now back on topic.....it completely slipped my mind that late model R32 rb26's were ok. the problem we're having at the moment is tracking one down in good condition....

can you guys think of any places i can call? I'm waiting for import monster and justjap to get back to me at the moment but the toy shop said they don't really have anything

haha, the GF gave the nod of approval, so the new car will be the JZA70 :D

and Yes Canberra,

As for the RB26's, I would go for a R33 unit unless you can sight the long pump drive yourself

I think there are a couple forsale is the FS section on here, but I assume you want a warranty?

do you have any pics of it? all JZA70's were manual with the R154 yeah?

unfortunately i can't tell just by looking if the engine will have a long pump drive. but I'm not particularly fussed about a warranty. i only know of 1 complete rb26 being sold in the for sale section on here

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • 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.  
    • 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... 😛
