hi guys I couldn't find much on the internet so I thought id ask. if I were to get a rb26 from a r32 gtr halfcut could I use the rb20 engine loom and ecu or would I have to change that and if I had to change it would the r32 gtr engine loom plug in to the r32 gtst dash harness. and how would I make the rb26 rwd.

thanks

Is this just a pipe dream?. ;)

No way would you run an rb26 on an rb20 ecu.

As with all conversions wiring is the stumbling block of most people,but at the end of the day can be figured out when you have it all in front of you.

An rb26 is engine, so it's not awd, but it has a diff in the sump which you would have to chop off and weld up or perhaps just leave it there.

As for the gearbox (which one you didn't specify but you would have to be full retard to use the rb20 box) same theme, chop attessa shit off transfer case and weld up hole left behind

Then rip skids all day.

I'm just weighing up my options rb25 swap or go rb26. I Thought the rb26 swap would be simpler because the rb26 would be from a r32 GTR but it seems that nissan changed a lot with the gtst and GTR and I rebuilt this car from ground up and had the rewire it all by myself so I think I could figure it out lol

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • 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.
