Pretty sure he's not trying to sell it mate or it would be posted in the for sale section not the forced induction section asking for advice...

Crank collar?

[BrynDETT]

oil restrictor and oversize sump to go along with ur high flow oil pump.....

Stronger gearbox? Tailshaft mod to suit.

If using the RB26 ECU, ABS probably won't work as ABS is built into the ATTESSA ECU which normally resides in the GTR boot.

once he finds out the expense of the band-aids, screw drivers, duct tape, deodorant and WD-40

he'll be compelled to sell.

I have just finished my R32 Rb26 into R33 gtst, was good fun, lots of tears and didnt have the convenience of a half cut. I had to use Rb25 engine mounting brackets, might need those not sure if they are compatible with xmember? I know a guy in brissy who did my loom, send it to him he sends back modified to work, he is good and cheap BH_SLO32 on here. I definately agree with the above crank collar or atleast a new oil pump and check the collar. I just rebuilt.

for the cost you might as well have just bought a GTR instead.

I'm doing a simular thing tho into a BMW I just changed the head gasket and re dis water pump just a general maiternance service I didn't bother with oil pump and it all looks good but I had the luck to see motor running before being removed. A new set of bearings wouldn't hurt either

[lilcrash]

Ummm did I miss something, a few of you said crank collar, I thought the rb26 didnt need one as it has a full length oil pump drive on the crank???? O_o

not on the early gtr's afaik
