Did the same conversion in mine but mines a r33 4 door but the rb26 was worked, forged pistons, acl bottom end bearings the works. I love it, i rekon its the best thing ive eva did to the car,i put a 34gtt gearbox in, lots of wheel spin and fun. :thumbsup:

For sure the rb26 is a great engine conversion for any Nissan I've seen them go in 260z's would have been nice if Nissan had made them 2.8 or 3l from the factory but they are still a great engine at 2.6

Got the car up and runing last night fixed the few issues it had and test drove it. Test drove very good even at 8-9 psi moves nice. Will get it on the dyno and tune it up

Finally got the car onto the dyno only had enough time to get some prelim tuning done up to 10psi as the client wanted the car back so didnt get enough time to install the boost controller.

Here is a video of the car on the dyno, as i said earlier that we used the RB20 gearbox and as you can here in the video the 4th gear syncro is worn and has seen better days.

Enjoy some RB sounds on the dyno.

Here is a few dyno sheets i got, the first one is at 7 psi and the second was at 10 psi. Just a matter of time before the client brings the car back to pump it up a bit.

The new E1280s from adaptronic is pretty sweet isnt it? even the old boxy version was pretty sweet for basic applications. The new one will probably replace the d-jetro PFC in our race car soon for a bit more R&D

Hey Trent

It's a nice bit of gear for the price far more advanced then a dejetro for a track car you have all the nice little features plus the ve tuning i started out with the e420c without ve then upgraded the firmware to ve and was much nicer.

Have you played with and mega squirts?? A mate of mine in qld swears by them the new ms3 has got some good features for a dirt cheap ecu the only downside you have to stick them together but a few place in the states put them together as a built unit.

Been playing around with your favourite ecu tonight pnp wolf v4 on a 33.

To be honest I Carnt go past nistune for any Nissan I really love to use them.

    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
    • Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol. 
    • Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
