Looks or rather sounds like I may have just destroyed my RB25det, started as loud creaking sound taking off at the lights not fast, thought first of all my diff had blown, then progressed to loud knocking, limped home popped the bonnet and discovered the knocking which is now LOUD!! is coming from the engine my best guess granted that im far from being any kind of mechanic is that theres been some kind of internal detonation, cracked head/pistons/rings oils leaking from head gasket, anyway early days to make any assumptions havnt had anyone proffesional look at it yet but since I was allready considering ripping out the engine to do a full respray I thought this might be as good a time as any to think about an upgrade, thought about the RB30 bottom end RB25 top deal a few skyliners seem to be going for but was wondering wether its posible to fit an RB26dett in a GTST? like I said Im no mechanic but Im eager to learn and just didnt know wether its possible to take the all wheel drive to rear wheel drive, Ive got another car to drive so I thought might as well make the most of a bad situation any advice would be appreciated :)

Its possible mate, it'll remain rear wheel drive, they just swap the sumps as far as im aware, they might possibly have to use an adaptor plate. Not to sure, but definetly can be done. There was a gts (non turbo) which had been converted to twin turbo rb26dett for sale a few months back for $19000. So definetly can be done with no problem at all.

Search button, Ive replied to this question twice in a week, with prices etc etc.

All right all right calm down Ive been searching but all that comes up is this dude saying do it this way and another dude saying nah do it this way or you cant do that! I just thought someone whose succesfully done this and got some really worthwhile gains from it might have put in something straight forward and precise on whats involved, what parts are needed and what its likley to cost the average skyline owner that dosn't work in a workshop or have a best mate that does no need to get s*(&y Ive just f@#$ed my engine by the looks of it and looking for some advice :P

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
