Rb26dett Swap In S14 Chassis

[paul f]

ok well here are the questions:

1. the rb26dett powersteering pump is for a hicas model, my car is not hicas, can i use this pump and just pluck the lines going to the rear rack and pinion or do i need a diffrent pump? if so what pump do i need?

2.im using an rb20 transmission with my rb26dett what clutch and flywheel do i need to use? i hers i can use the rb26 flywheel and a na z32 300zx clutch kit, is that true? if not what do i need to use to make it work?

if there is any more knowelege u would like to share with me on this swap please inform me! thanks

p.s. sorry i posted in the wrong section!

1. You can use the HICAS pump but in your case you need to disable the rear pump inside of it. In all HICAS pumps ther is 2 pumps inside. The rear pump is for the hicas. If you take the rear of the pump apart you will see metal fins inside. Just grab a magnet and pull those out and bolt it back together and then you can plug off/weld the rear line and you will be fine. If you dont remove those find you will overheat the fluid and it will sweat out all over and feel stiff.

2. You can use the R32 RB26 clutch flywheel and PP and disc. They are all the same for all RB's. I even use 32 GTR disc's and PP in SR20's but the Flywheels are different is all. The Z32 non turbo is like 5 mm smaller in diamiter so go with the GTR and use the full surface on the flywheel.

lolz at 'rb20 transmission with my rb26dett'. Sounds like your probably from the US, why not stick to something easy and commonly done like the sr20det conversion.

Other option on the PS pump is to swap it out for an R33 GT-R pump which doesn't have the hydraulic takeoff for HICAS (RB30 CEFFY's suggestion is the cheaper alternative however).

then you need to swap a few things not just the pump. it is best just to remove the rear pump fins.

go to nico forum, there is very little info on here for RB conversions into s-series, bear in mind it is a very simple swap and requires custom gearbox mount adapters only, the rest is a bolt in affair. The conversion into the S13 we use took about a week in a shed without the use of hoists etc.. i fitted a R32 lower rad support and castor brackets etc to make more room between radiator and engine as i really did not want to run thermos.... but i ended up getting a GREDDY read which is so damn big i had to run flex-a-lite fans any way.
