Hey guys!

Just wanting to grab some advice.. I was looking at doing this conversion about a year ago but didnt go ahead while in planning stage because of some factors..

Can anyone tell me what i would need to have my R32 converted from a standard RB20 to a RB26?? :ermm:

I know most but i would just like some dot points on what i would need?

Things like..

- RB26DETT engine (was looking at getting a GTR halfcut)

- Power FC/RB26 ECU?

- rb25 or rb20 gearbox

- Single piece tailsaft?

-

and so anyone else that has done this once before if you could give me some info would be MUCH appreciated!!!!

(I am also planning on keeping it RWD too)

Thanks Everyone!

:P

Dave!

Hi Mate,

Ive done this conversion to my car which is a R33 GTST Sedan. I changed Engine Wiring loom, r32/33gtr ecu or u can go PFC, I went with the R34 GTT gearbox with an r33 gtst manual tailshaft, but you can use the r33 gtst gearbox.

I think the only difference in between the 2 gearboxes are the R33 Gearbox is a push type and R34 gearbox is a push type.

You will need to modify the front sump, take off and weld the holes where the front drive shafts come out or you might be able to find one that has already been welded up.

You will also need the power steering pump, alternator (might be able to use the same ) I think the reason you need to change them is because the width of the pulleys and the fan belts are smaller on the rb20/25.

You will also need the return bov piping unless ur planning to run the pfc djetro or a mafless tune.

Thats all i can think of for the moment

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
