I used the Stagea pump, bracket (I slotted the rear-most mount bolt to make it easier to install with the twin turbos), and crank pulley. Seemed like the easiest solution and has worked for just at a year now without problems.

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

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........

Have you started to work out the wiring side of things yet?

I am starting to think this is a better way to go than keeping the Rb25. Have been looking into this conversion a bit more lately.

Did you lift the motor and box in from below or did you feed it in from the top?

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....................

I would think you need the RB26 loom and ecu. For the auto wires look in the DIY section above in the manual conversion thread.

Yes I do know I need a rb26 engine to ecu loom as I have that it's the wiring of that loom to the stagea std loom I need a diagram of.

And as for the auto wires I've had a look in the manual conversion thread and can't find the relevant post

Go back to the front of car with the four plugs. The two pin grey plug is your inhibitor switch, put a loop between those (cut plug off auto trans loom). The brown plug is for the reverse lights (well two pins of it anyway), hook those up.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
