Is my RB26 actually an R33 or still an R32 as always assumed?

[002-M-P]

My motor is complete torn down ready to go to the machine shop, but I need a new crank pulley...and since the R32 and R33 crank pullies are different because of the PS pump, I need to know, for sure, what motor I have.

Based on the ecu (MEC-R282....05U62) it is a 93+ R32 ecu, which coincides with the fact that I have a crankshaft that doesn't need to be collar'd (late model R32)...but after looking at Booztd3's motor in his thread, I can't find a difference in the PS pumps. So if someone wants to take a look and let me know for sure it would be awesome.

r32, but if you're getting a new crank pulley get an r33 or an rb25 one and a matching pump without hicas.

yea thats an r32 you can tell by the hicas powersteering pump you will need the r33 rb26 crank pulley and p/s pump or rb25 crank pulley and p/s pump if you want power steering. would you want to sell you oem rb26 raidiatior hoses by any chance?

I assume the PS pump setup is very similar to the HICAS pump on S13s. If so there are write-ups on how to remove the rear pump impeller to remove the rear steering.

The 300ZX guys just switch to a non-turbo model which didnt have HICAS. You also run a non-turbo PS Resevoir. Then you need to purchase an eliminator bar which locks in the rear tie-rods so they cant move

You wouldn't believe the trouble I am having finding a main pulley. I found a R33 pulley, but haven't been able to find a R33 pump....and there are no R32 pulley's to be found...except in aus or uk where it is about $100 for shipping.
