Made up my mine the FD is booked in at the end of September (unless the project he is working on now takes longer) and I'm putting in the rb26, yes gonna cost abit but I can't wait and want something different, the 26 is almost all done from its rebuild only waiting one the covers getting painted, and the custom made sump should be here next week, gonna be a long but fun build and can't wait!!

Looks sweet mate, hope yours turns out just as good. It's gonna be a mission to get it done, and I'm guessing you can't register it right? Will still be an awesome car to own and will sound that much better than a rotor when the 'gate cracks :-)

Looking forward to updates, good luck :-)

Awesome pics thanks mate :D makes me get sooo keen for mine!! Sorry about late reply been over at NZ for a week, and yep ive been talking to the engineers and they said it should be fine to register as they mad te rb26 up until 2002, and he said they also class the rotor to have 1.3l each rotor?!? Never Hurd that but yeah so he sai it should be fine it's gonna be my every day driver or I won't do it haha and when we start building I'll be posting a shit load of pics and info

in regards to engine capacity rotors are doubled compared to piston motors so in capacity terms a 13B is 2.6Ltrs.

and i cant wait to see this build start, i have a mate doing a 2JZ in his FD, its off getting a 4 link rear end atm. guna be pretty mental! ive also done a Rb26 conversion into my S15, love it!

Buy Hank scorpio's 20b with big single. Not like he will get the defect cleared and the rest of the car is worth $5 or less :whistling:

HEY! :P

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
