This is quite funny. No offence, but you cannot sell an RB20E. The reason is that absolutely no one in their right mind wants one. You might be able to offer to give someone $50 to take it off your hands.

I realise that this will sound mean on top of my advice to you in your engine conversion thread....but that's the facts.

Yuh, they are the nastiest version of the R33, and they were pretty much only imported by mistake. Someone saw an R33 going cheap on a Jap auction site, went ballistic with the buy now button, and 3 months later had a massive let down when it was delivered.

I'm surprised it hasn't already been converted to turbo. The last one I saw in the wild was about 8 or 10 years ago and it was in the process of being (expensively) converted to turbo (having been accidentally bought withotu realising how crap it was!). It's just not worth doing the conversion any more.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. In your other thread I told you it would cost you a lot more, in both time and money, to do an engine, box, diff, brakes and hub upgrade than just to buy a turbo R33 outright. And that is without selling the car you have now. You would have 2 R33s for less money than converting the NA one you have now.

Just drive the RB20E shitter around for a while, save up some coins and buy a GTST when you can. Then either sell the RB20E one (exchange price being about the same as a carton of beer) or keep it in the shed for spare panels when you spin the turbo one into the weeds on a Friday night. Your choice.

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
