Different R33 models?

[vhew]

Can someone please clarify the different R33 GTS-T models for me like what is the difference from ECR33 to HR33? According to this website the HR33 engine is the RB20E while the ECR33 has the RB25DET.....is this correct? Which one is better?

i know ECR33 is series one GTS-t and BNR33 is series 2... not sure bout much else... I might even be wrong about that.

RB25DET is a race bred 2.5L Double overhead cam with Electronic fuel injection and a Turbo charger... assuming the HR33 is RB20E, it is a race bred 2.0L Fuel injected engine.

Correction: BNR33 is GT-R just so you know.

So how come in carsales.com.au people have listed their r33 gts-t HR33 as 2.5L? Does anyone know the actually differences internally & externally?

Chassis stamps according to Doug... (information from various web pages)

As far as I can tell an 'N' in the chassis code denotes 4WD. (GT-R and GTS4)

'B' is for the GT-R's (could be used to denote RB26?)

'C' is for Coupes (though I think the 32 and 34 GT-Rs are just BNR3x)

'R3x' Model (R32, R33, R34)

SUBJECT TO DICUSSION:

First Letter =

'H' Indicates an RB20 (E, DE or DET... see below) some had the following prefix (A=89, B=90, C=91, D=92, E=93) eg. E-HCR32 = 1993 model R32

'E' Indicates an RB25 (DE, DET... see below)

Engine Codes according to Doug... (information from various web pages)

RB = Engine Series (Race Bread ?Not sure how accurate this info is?)

2x = Engine size

20 = 2.0L

25 = 2.5L

26 = 2.6L

D = Double overhead cam

E = Electronic Fuel Injection

T = Turbo

TT = Twin Turbo

Engine codes...

| RB20E | RB20DE | B20DET | RB25DE | RB25DET | RB26DETT | RB30E |

I don't think I've left any out? (Other than the hybrid engines RB20/30 | 25/30 | 26/30)

Please, if I am wrong, someone post otherwise!

Thus ends the gospel according to Doug
