About the R33, I have no idea.

Although the swap, I don't know that much about Skyline engines, but over at unstable-hybrids, they installed an RB20DET into an S13. here is the link (http://www.unstable-hybrids.com/rb20DETinstall.html). it also says that the RB25DET would be similar. I wasnt even aware of an RB26DET, i thought they only came in TT. There have been a few RB20s in S13 that I have seen. it all depends on what you want out of a car.

[negular]

is "imbalanced" a word?... it just doesn't sound right to me... oh well, im mexican, what do i know

[SR20Fastback]

I think unbalanced is what he was looking for.

[AKADriver]

Imbalanced is a word. &nbsp;It's not a word to describe any generation of Skyline GT-R, though.

The english language allows it's user's to "make up" new words, &nbsp;so yes that is a word &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

[adey]

maybe he was just talking about the front-rear weight distribution... that's all I can think of for "unbalanced" (imbalanced)... but that's kind of retarded because very few cars have a true 50/50 weight dist.

[Kitahara]

Inbalanced? &nbsp;That must be refering to the front-to-rear weight distribution. &nbsp;I don't believe the Skyline GTR is balanced as well as the Silvia, but I'm pulling that out of my ass. &nbsp;If you think about it, it's logical because the RB26DETT is a heavy engine and four wheel drive makes it even heavier with more of the weight near the front.

Forget about swapping in the RB26DETT and doing a single turbo conversion unless you have 12k+ waiting. &nbsp;You'll probably break your engine mounts anyways within a year.

RB25DET... now that's more of an option and I have contemplated it as well. &nbsp;I probably won't do it though because I think it's a bit more time and money investment than I want. &nbsp;It is not a direct bolt in because you need custom engine mounts and you will probably need to upgrade to an electric fan to save space. &nbsp;It's still a project, and there would be a decent amount of wiring work necessary too. &nbsp;Oh not to mention that the cold side intercooler piping/intake manifold would require that you modify the hood in order for it to fit. &nbsp;Someone on this forum did this swap but I forgot who... there were some nice pictures... good luck sourcing engine mounts for a good price

Actually the rb25det in the r32 was single turbo from the factory. New Skyline GTS come with the rb25det as well.

All Skylines from the early '80s to '01 are R3x's. &nbsp;There was an R30 and an R31 with no GT-R model available on either chassis. &nbsp;The letter changed to "V" for the new car... the Infiniti G35 is a V35 chassis.

There are letters before the R, just like on our S-chassis cars. &nbsp;The FJ20-powered Skyline RS Turbo was a "DR30". &nbsp;The R32 GT-R was actually "BCNR32".

Also, the R32 GTS-t had an RB20DET. &nbsp;The RB25DE didn't get a "T" until the R33 GTS25-t.
