Interesting. I suppose that's why people in the GTR community keep building them to this day. You must remember what it's like to have a fast, reliable, daily driver....remember before the stroker kit went in.
Well it is important isn't it or he won't know what it is like. He might be quite happy with what he is considering but he won't know what a responsive 26 setup is like will he.... It's called an informed decision not a decision based on someone else's preference. That's my point.
I am just concerned that he will not be making the best choice unless he knows what the different choices are and experiences them first hand. Sorry if this is too logical before you spend $30k+.
Maybe this thread should be renamed then because it is titled refers to a 2600cc motor not other capacities.
So this has gone way off topic as others have stated. If the op has decided to go a 26/30 Then fine start another thread.
And for all its worth, without him experiencing proper responsive setups in a 26 then the advice given is poor to say the least as he has no reference to how good a responsive 26 setup is. Especially as a daily.
How to have a responsive rb26...... Mmm let me see.. umm I think I might have read it somewhere....
I think it went something like this....

...can someone please confirm this, I am confused listening to all the strokers.
Yeah don't know why, maybe too thick for the synchro. Is it because the 4th to 5th synchro can't engage quick enough because of the oil because they were perfect before?
Might try to drain half and put some lightweight in and see if it makes a difference. The rest of the gears are perfect though and the box is nice and quiet.
I use heavyweight for diffs and gearbox. Gearbox is smoother and quieter. Only issues is 4th to 5th at high rpm. If I rush it it crunches a bit. The diffs I find are more efficient when warmed up...when cold they lock up a bit.
Just mentioned it because especially in the OP's description it seems to be happening at a point where it may be transitioning off boost to on boost where if things aren't spot on a temporary lean condition may occur which is consistent with the occurrences the OP is describing. Just a suggestion anyway.
Oh and a guy with a 200 that was street driven had to add a heap of fuel in this transition area when he started drifting but it couldnt be done on the dyno, had to be done on the street.
Does it come off boost with gear changes and is the rpm around the 3k mark, if so the mixture could be leaning out slightly when you come back on throttle. Just a thought.
Will be fine.. it is a closed loop system, the AFMs and O2 sensor should manage your mixture fine. Don't worry about it. 1 bar will not push your tune to the limit.
