Hey Guys Just after some info

have got a r33 sedan that has a Auto behind an RB26

and have a r32 coupe that is a 5 speed manual behind a RB20


i want to take the 26 out of the 33 and put it into the 32

will the clutch be the same or will i need a new one?

will this be a strait forward swap or will there be fun surprises?


cheers

i think the first fun surprise will be how quickly you smash the rb20 5 speed with a 26 haha
haven't done it myself though so can't offer any useful advice, heaps of people on here that have though.

Ran an r32 5 spd behind a 400rwhp rb26 for near on 6months (sold it in good condition) and previous owner drifted/tracked the car for years before that. With a bit of mechanial sympathy it will last!

Hmmm I was told the 5 speed will hold up the car is being built as the communal thrasher so sympathy is one thing the car isn't going to get

So the box is gonna die pretty quickly then haha

Anything else I should no or parts I should have that I won't find on either car
