abes Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Well, I finally decided that I'm going to keep driving my GAS saving tacoma instead of buying a new truck and figured why not do it..Tell me, what do you guys think?? If I could only figure this out.. I'm pretty sure you can tell it's an R32. I payed $3200 from a local vendor for the engine only. I've been looking for an R33 for a while but they're hard to come by and when you do find them they want alot $$$. I bought a Haltech a while back, so I'm going to use that for an engine management. In case you were wondering, I'm going to be putting it in this.... I'd like to say that I'm going to be the first hybridz member to put an Rb26 in a zx. Problem is that I have to finish my two year long Master bedroom/ bathroom project that was supposed to be done a year and eight months ago. So... who knows when I'll get started. By the time I do the swap, they'll probably be others out there with it done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thats got to be the cleanest looking 32 I've seen so far. The tag with writing on it looks to be a service sticker. Looks like it had 81,648 Km's on it when serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 hatechoo. i think the service sticker is for the timing belt replacement. did your vendor scrub that engine with a toof brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARELESS-I just hope the engine looks that good on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was extremely clean when it showed up........everything was in great shape Joel is right on the service sticker, they include those stickers in every timing belt package or kit thats sold at nissan........
