hey guys,

I have a r32 gtr and i'm on my p's and want to make it non turbo

the rb26 is missing the top end so i have a rb25de out of a r33 s2

and i wanted to run the 4wd system including the gtr gearbox and i have run into trouble as the 4wd sump wont bolt up to the rb25

so dose anyone know if i can use a rb26 block and put a rb25 crank,rods,pistons,head ect?

Lol one of these threads again, how long will it take for p platers to learn!

Please, please, please sell your GTR, NOW. Poor car, don't even dare try to do said modifications to such a great car. Buy an r32 2dr gts4, and molest that how you want, but for the love of god, don't touch that poor GTR!

Ok now in all seriousness, why would you want to do such a thing? Clearly you have no idea what you're doing, and the modifications you have suggested are wayyyy beyond what you are capable of. No the rb25 won't bolt up the 4wd sump, and no, you can't just wack a set of rb25 pistons/rods etc into a 26 block. Not to mention it's completely pointless because the car will be registered as a twin turbo and it's still illegal for you to drive. Honestly, when will people learn! You can't just rip a turbo off a turbo motor with no other worK, and expect it to run like a dream...

Why don't you buy a non turbo to start off with?

Better question still, why do you want a non turbo gtr???

Gts4 r32s are cheap as and are still 4wd. Not sure if they come in non turbos, but I'm sure just a regular r32 gts will do for p plates.

Please take our advice and don't be an idiot with that gtr...

Save your money and buy a gtr when you get off your Ps...

Your project has one major flaw. The car is still 110% illegal

The car is still build plated as a turbo, the car is therefore illegal, simple as that.

Regardless of if the car "has" a turbo on it or not is irrelevant for the purpose of legalities.

This has been covered countless times now so please spend the time reading all the information that is here.

What do you mean by "the rb26 is missing the top end"???

Have you actually taken the rb26 out? Or is this 16yo theory??? (Is it school holidays again...?)

If you do want to do this, you need to get an rb25 from a stagea or 33 gts4. Both cars are AWD and will bolt in the same as a 26.

If you do get the swap done, wired up and running a few things will happen:

1. You will go through fuel like crazy

2. You will breed a whole new group of lancer/corolla drivers who firmly believe they can beat a GTR

3. You will still be paying huge insurance

4. You will de-value your car

5. You will be laughed at from the wider skyline community

Why don't you grab $10k and burn it.... it's alot quicker.

Or... buy a really nice r32 gts with an NA rb25 and have some fun with that? Then keep saving for the costs of owning a GTR.

J.

garage it, sell it what ever

buy an NA or try and get an exemption for an R32 GTST sedan

and thats pretty much it

if you still want to drive a GTR, keep a tub of lube in the back so the cops have an easier time invading your rectum

Moved to Victoria.........its slightly more appropriate there than the Projects section given your location and the responses that i know are coming...........enjoy!

Throwing meat into a cage of lions :P

Yer man i think that everyone here will tel you the same story. Doesn't seem "smart" what you are doing. Just get an N/A and once you are off the p-plates jump into the GTR.

If i was that keen on a GTR i would just take the p-plates off and hope for the best lol cause either way you are stuffed!

Oh no, please don't do it. That will be one slow ass GTR, the S2 33 the RB25 came out of will even rape you no problem. Just get a 4 Door 32 and do tasteful sneaky mods to it and it will be quick.

If you do it though, please come down to my hood so my bro can race you in his Astra, it has chrome, its fast.

Look for a BMI dvd or youtube that has a girl who built an NA RB20 with 6 open throttle bodies trumpet style (?), the bloody thing REV and scream like crazy, sounds awesome.

look guys i know you are all against this but at the end of the day i already own the gtr and i have a r32 gts with a rb20de but why would i spend all the money on th gts to make it look like a gtr and it's not worth shit, and i dont see any gts4 non turbos... i don't give a shit about the car being plated as a turbo so what its plated as a turbo but at the end of the day its only a non turbo gts powered car that has the stopping of a gtr,

say if you had a vk plated as a v8 with a six they wont touch you...

say you had a mazda rx3 but you put a piston in it they still wont touch you...

my mate has a r33 gtst but has a rb25de in it they dont touch him cos it dosen't have the power of what the plate says...

They won't touch joo!

I think you just summed up what you should do.... Since you have a R32 GTS, why don't you just spend that extra money you saved up and upgrade the brakes and suspensions.

Do it I'll even run it up on my dyno for you so you can show your mates that your gtr make all of 60 kw at he wheels. Even a clapped out high km stock gtr will make 150 at the treads.

Take everyones advice park it up or sell it and drive the gts.

Also the barke power of a gts will be more than enough for a gts unless you plan on building a high as fk comp rb25 with massive cams and itb's then you may have to put a good set of pads and rotors on the factory calipers.

By all means give us a call and we can do it for you.

I must repeat,

I have one suggestion, stop smoking crack...

It's bad for you honestly.

What is with kids these days, I swear they're getting more stubborn than before!

Ash, I'm surprised you haven't lock this thread sooner.

Drive the GTS around till you are off your Ps.

"Park" the GT-R and put money into modding it - the money you spend in converting to an RB25DE and re-converting it back to an RB26 (original engine) once you are off your Ps can buy many mods - with less hassle - which sometimes does not have a dollar value....

Once you are off your Ps you will have a modded GT-R ready to go....

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
