hey,

I am currently half way through doing two of these conversions. Im doing the first one becasue my mate had a GTR he crashed and we are putting the motor and box into his s13. And the other one Im doing because I know how easy it is, and I had a rb25 in my r32 with a rb20 gearbox, so I got a RB26 box for $600 delivered to nth qld from adelaide.

Basically if you blow a box you can just pull off the rear housing and bolt it onto a new rb26 box. I pulled all the clutch packs off it and gutted the silent chain and angle grinded the transfer case off it. Keep an eye on my build thread in the projects and overhauls topic. I havent finished even the initial post in there but once I do I will post up pics of the modded transfer case.

I think its a great idea if you have a rb26 box laying around. They can be had for so cheap

let us know how the custom gtr box goes in to the s13 body

yer so cheap to use a gtr box these day there like $700 with tail shaft

so find a aloy welder couldent take more than 1hr to weld the hole $100 custom tailshaft $150

bang awesome gearbox

    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
    • These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh
    • This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.
    • A quick Google said 297mm..
    • Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
