I'll buy the crank if you still have it 0405 827 334

Good luck with the boot install. Let us know how the Repco unit fits, it's good to have alternative boot options that don't cost $100 or so each from Nissan!

I have the various Stagea / GTR wiring diagrams and have been scribbling notes on them as to which wires need to go where, but have not as yet started to physically cut wires and unwrap looms. I am still doing the final mechanicals, currently sorting out a rear GTR 4.11 LSD and driveshaft conversion to match the new GTR front ratios and upgrade to LSD rear. I should get to start the wiring in the next few weeks so I'll post up progress and pics as I go. I would also like to hook up the GTR's front torque split gauge but haven't had a look at the wiring for that yet, and I have a torque split controller to wire in at the same time. If anyone out there has any RS260 wiring diagrams please post them up! (I will swap you some hen's teeth! lol) I pulled the motor and box out from the top and the same to put the 26 & manual in............see pics....................

In theory it shouldn't need an alignment as you're not actually adjusting your tie rods, just disconnecting them to remove the shafts and putting them back. Unless you have some really worn components, they should bolt back up in the same position they were in. However I reckon it's always a good idea to have things re-aligned when you've done any suspension or steering work.

G'day I would like to add this link with a few pics of the holes cut in the tranny tunnel for the manual box as well as the handbrake mounting position. Hope this helps someone. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...ed#entry4850649 Cheers, Jon.

Ok Guys its all pretty straightforward to do, probably the only special tools you need are circlip pliers and a vice is handy. Firstly remove the shafts, there is a good description here on pages 10 & 11 http://www.scribd.com/doc/4964854/GTR-Engine-Removal You will also need to pop out the cup that is in the diff housing, a couple of large screrwdrivers should do the trick (carefully) Next I usually cut off the old boots and give the shafts a good clean ready for new grease & boots. Below shows the drivers side, the passenger side should be similar (I only needed to do my drivers side, but the passenger side looks to be exactly the same procedure). You need to remove the circlip that holds the bearing assy (part A) to the shaft (part B) in the pic below. Remove part A from the shaft and you can now slip on your new boots. Replace part A and circlip (grease the splines) and complete assembly as below. This is just a matter of packing the bearings and cup with grease and fitting the new boots. Make sure there is no grease on the part of the boot that will be clamped to the shaft & cup (under where you tighten the stainless ties). Tighten the stainless straps by stopping them rotating with a flat blade screwdriver whilst gripping the strap with locking pliers. Bend the strap over once, bend down the tabs to keep in place, and bend once again over the tabs and cut off the excess. Reinstall the shaft in reverse order of taking it out. I think this covers it if you get stuck on anything let me know. Hope this helps. Good Luck, Jon.

Ah ha you put the RB25 crank pulley on th RB26 to line up, that makes sense, thanks.

G'day Brad, I am currently doing the same conversion, Rb26 to S1 RS4, can you tell me if you used the GTR power steering pump assembly or did you find a bracket / pulley or other alternative to mount the Stagea RB25DET pump? Cheer, Jon.

I am currently doing an RB26dett manual transplant to my previously RB25det s1 auto Stagea, here's a few pics, let me know if you need any more pics (R33 handbrake mounting, R34 clutch pedal & master install etc.) and I'll try and post them as it's still in the process of conversion........ so yeah I have a whole heap of parts spare if anyone is looking for anything for S1 Stagea RB25DET auto or what's left of the donor R32 GTR front cut, just let me know what you're after.....

Hey Guys I have just replaced my front boots with local Kelpro units at $15ea. Part no': Inner: CIB-228 Outer: COB-057 Only point I would make is that there is not enough grease supplied for the inner if you ask me, so grab some extra.
