Thats right , my R33 4 auto 4 door now totes an RB26dett :flamed:

Its been a long 12 months since the demise of the 1st 25 , with only a brief (4000 kms ) stint with a forgied 25 ( this is a long , costly & painfull story that I will leave to my Lawyers!) all of which lead me to , with a little help from that zoom article , putting an Rb26 into the 4 door.

Basicly , I was able to fit the 26 into the 25's hole by using the 25 engine mounts & just turning the drivers side 1 around 180 degrees.Then shorten the throttle cable , add a GTR radiator top hose & ta da!

I have retained to 25s engine loom so I can keep the Wolf ecu that alows me to run the auto , we just had to change the injector plugs to Bosch ones & change the function of the 25s VVT switch to now be the air temp sensor :)

Although , with the help of Wolf tech support , I am able to use the 26 Cam Angle sensor & change the way the map reads to Ref & Sync. (instead of the modified 25 cas , used for dual point sensing) which has made Cold starts much more reliable.

The 26 is out of an R33 GTR with 51 000ks on it , stock internals & injectors , & the only mods are GReddy adjustable cam gears.

The GTR turbs were rebuilt using T28 (SR20) zorst wheels & housings because they are Steel , & much bigger!

The auto remains stock ( bigger trans cooler coming) but using Redline Racing ATF

which has practically removed any "slip" on the now quite abrubt Gear changes :aroused:

The end result..........376.9rwhp with boost spikes to 20psi before settling to 18psi

& I am bloody happy with that!

The real test will be Drag combat on the 23rd of April so...fingers crossed no :Bang:

Thanks heaps To George & Sean from Adrenaline ( experience counts)

Bart for crazyimports.com

Well done Rep and good to see you using the local boys down there.

I know that Peter Blight has nothing but good things to say about George and his patience with getting it right.

Ohh and Maytech, who who get a lot more business if he realised most peoples working days are 8 till 5 , not 5 till 2 in the morning . lol :)

Dare I ask who the lawyer involves or is it probably someone I already know? :)

Cheers

nice man. Do u mind if i ask wat sort of figures this conversion cost?? I've been thinking about what i'd do if my engine cooked and just wanna know if its a viable option.

Congrats on the figures dude, bet you're stoked!!

I'm trying hard NOT to think about it dude ....

But I think 10k would cover it for a straight engine change ( including the engine that is)

It starts to add up when you go for Modded turbs , Split gate dumps Custom Intakes etc...trust me

Cheers

Yeah nice work troy and good to see it all up and running nicely. It was a nice job Sean and george did on the blue rocket.

So the million dollar question what your guess on ET and MPH for DC.

Plus it will be good to have a couple of the buno boys at DC.

Thanx Pete ,

As for ET & MPH , I'd settle for 12.5 @ 115..... as long as its better than my last run :) (except this is in street trim = No Nos)

I'm not sure quite how bad I want to beat up on it , but lets face it , by the end of the day I'll probably be Stalling it up against the handbrake!!!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
