mr Eps, I assume you don't live in melbourne, where you have your car inspected only once and never again for as long as its in your name, unless the police ask you to.

Its a common swap, and done because those engines are readily availble in those countries, unlike the RB (the closest they get to an RB is the RB20E which is an SOHC 2.0L N/A and the RB24S which is an inline 6 carby engine). With this in mind, its easier to do an RB25 or RB26DETT swap in a cef, however the 1JZ and 2JZ swaps are doable.

You'd best be asking on a thai ceffy forum like http://www.cefiro-thailand.com

Thankyou :rofl:

The car would be engineerable (is that a word ?) wouldnt it ? I assumed it would be the same as putting an RB25 in.

well im from perth and to the best of my knowledge (correct me if i'm wrong please) but i think it's un-engineerable (is THAT a word?) to have trans build engines in

like you can't put a lada niva motor into a mitsubishi lancer,

nor can you put an engine in that is older than the car's build date

ie: V35 skyline can't have an RB transplant etc,

over here you can put any engine into another as long as it meets ADRs, then an engineer will have to sign off on it to certify that the swap is legal. Usually costs about $500 - $800 to get done. Once that's done then the car is legal with that engine.

The other way that most people do it is rego the car with the engine its supposed to have in it, then do the swap. Engine swaps aren't a roadworthy issue, so the roadworthy shops won't care. It is illegal, but it happens a lot in VIC. The only time you can get caught out is if you have a cop go through your car, or you go to resell it and it needs to go through the registration process again.

Removing the Toyota markings from the surface, whos to know its a Toyota motor at the pits? I think is definately doable....

if you guys remember that Ferrari Enzo kitted 180sx that was on the J-Spec mailing list, it was bought by a guy in Syd who was gonna put a worked 2jz (out of his old silvia) in it.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
