My mate is putting a rb20det into his r33 just as a skid pig to learn to drift.

Now we have a r32 rb20det with loom and ecu.

Dash plug pins done match.

And square plug under airbox pins dont match. Need some advice to set this all up.

We cant even find any wiring info for the RB20e R33 to even begin to figure it out.

So any infomation would be good.

Or any tips to make it run with out it being wired to the car, more like its just sitting there to hold it.

And dont just say get a rb25... picked this motor up for $200 with a rebuilt head.

And getting this wired up will help when his RB30DET goes in as he has a R32 RB25 head. Cheers

done match? so you've done the matching

I believe you mean don't match.. both very different words with different meanings.

Because it'a R33, I would suggest investigating on a R33 GTS-t loom and swap the injector pins to suit. Then splice the sensor wires into the R32 sensors. Of course a RB20DET doesn't have VCT so you can just terminate those wires.

Not really rocket science, you'll work it out.

We got it running found some info from someone thats done the swap.

And regards to the comment about small tyres, I have a friend who drifts a single cam non turbo rb20e r32 and goes out with the big boys. A turbo twin cam rb20det will do just fine. The one problem I have with community is the hate towards RB20'S

fuel pump on switch idea isn't smart.

I would use the ECU to trigger your fuel pump, so when the motor isn't turning the pump stops.. good for when there's a crash, and a fuel line ruptures etc. and there's no fuel being pumped everywhere

Ok well I guess we will sort a new feed for that then, didnt think to far into it at this stage.

Ill have to look more into it because the normal power feed etc was somehow running 12v constant so the car would stay running with the key out as a turbo timer would act. So ill have to either get the ecu trigger to work, may wire up a relay using the ecu trigger and the 12v switched feed and get it going that way, either that or anything that only feeds 12v with the engine running haha. More investigation is needed for the next step... dont worry though guys his car is miles away from being ready to drive

      At least you're now aware of the problem and can come up with a solution.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      1. No need, it only gets used once then is locked in place by the nut 2. EN-62 point 6 shows the conical washer the other way around (BTW I know we discussed above, I hope you are changing the idler as well, while it is no guarantee the bearing is a actually bad, it looks terrible) 3. I'm not really clear on the question, are you worried because it was easy, not hard, to remove the custom timing trigger? As long as it doesn't spin on the crank (when the bolt is tight) all good 4. Yeah just make sure the brand is easy to read as it rolls past 5. The part number is on the listing under the description, 13023-42L00. Given there is a custom part on there for timing (presumably outside the cover), they may have decided to leave that off; I think I would put the washer in there as it also helps seal the timing case from crap getting in.

      Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
