I have previously posted that I have decided on the RB26 swap. I know it is going to cost alot. I am prepared. Coolwhip helped me alot last time so his expertise would be greatly appreciated. My problem is I need to know what the differences positive and negative between the the RB26 R32, R33, and R34. I have looked on search and couldn't find it. If it is on search could you put a link directing me to it. If it isn't can I get some help here. I read the R32 has a major problem with water pumps and if that blows you can blow you motor. So I am leaning towards the R33 RB26. But have no clue what the benefits are from each RB26. If I am going to spend the money I want to do it right and I would rather spend and extra 3 to 4 thousand to get the best and what is more reliable. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rzerob

all of them are generally the same. some differences (we'are not talking about about the N1)

pre r34 have narrow oil pump snout, kills oil pump if excessively rev'd.

other than that the later model just benefit from lower miles.

they cost too damn much because magazine racing.
