hi everyone. i am going to do an rb26dett conversion on my na r33 soon and just need some advice on a few things. it mould be much appreciated if anyone who has done this conversion or an rb26dett conversion in another car before to give me a few pointers.

first up i was wondering what ECU to use. i noticed that power fc's come in a few different models for rb26. the two ive heard of are with serial numbers PFC GTR331 and PFC RB26. i was wondering if the PFC RB26 would suit my application. if not what would you reccommend?

Also would you reccommend modifying the 26 sump to get rid of the front diff and do the other things needed, or selling the 26 sump and buying another sump without a front diff (rb25?) and modify that to fit the rb26 engine. It would be appreciated if someone knows anyone who makes sumps for this kind of conversion would be able to point me in the right direction.

If you think i have overlooked any aspects or might not realise something vital in getting the engine in and working well please post up and let me know.

i have done a few searches already with alot of usefull info and even more useless info coming up. please, if you want to do the usual and tell me to do a search, please dont just say "do a search" please give me some pointers on keywords and forums to search as sorting through 100's of pages of threads that contain good info but none that applies to my situation is very frustrating.

thank you to anyone who has any input or info for me :wub:

Eli

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
