Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

go to the first page and download the pdf guide after you read that and if there are any specific questions to what your doing ask away!

the guide pretty much explains it all when it comes to what goes with what and how.

Read it carefully as i just put my motor in forgetting to do the RB25 sump mod now i gotta drop the sump off which is a bitch considering i just had the motor out on a stand!!!!!

RB26 does not have any form of VVT/VCT/VTEC

26 heads dont have vct - thats only the gheyass rb25's

my gheyass RB25 doesn't!

It's so ghey that HKS decided to make one for the 26 and sell it for a small fortune :banana:

sif kill my bagging of the rb25 :(

one a side note, my billet girdles are ready :D

the one you see below is for the 4wd guys, it has the adapter encorporated in it. i can re-design it to make them for rwd rb30's, rwd rb26's & rwd rb20's. this also means my 4wd adapter plates are good to go aswell :D

correct. the std girdle/main caps get machined down to suit.

i initially looked at getting rid of the std cast caps, but when i looked at the caps where the bearings sit, they are not round (oval shaped) and they are slightly recessed - i dont have the funds to do r&d on 2+ motors to get that style of girdle correct, but i do have the funds to do r&d on this style of girdle

Wing it.. If you haven't got half a brain to work out the problems as you come across then its best you don't do the conversion. :banana:

Get the two motors in front of you and have a look. Its all quite simple.

yea i get that, i only have the head to look at, block is at machinests waiting on wat to do,

im just tryna cut down time,,,

sorry for asking this probably been asked and answered a few times but im not reading 306 pages.. so can someone please tell me the difference between a rb30 short block and long block.. and does it matter what one i use

Long motor includes bottom end and head and all internal parts but no accessories.

short motor is same as above minus the head, includes internal parts inside the block and sump.

It's obvious what you need for the det conversion.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
