i just had a friend of a friend tell me having a RB26 in a R32 GTS-t makes no difference and saying that his R33 GTS25 will still beat it, because of his engine and weight. how funny is that :D

Yup, deffinately smokin some good stuff! haha

Car Is amazing to drive now, i cant believe how much more torque the 26 has. even off boost it is different car.

So far the 20 gearbox feels good. The redline oil got rid of all the little crunches.

My only issue at the moment is the fine tuning of the microtech. Its been running mega rich and using a bucket of fuel. Cold starts where a bitch but that seems to have been fixed now.

Im thinking i made a mistake going for a microtech over a power FC D-jetro. But you live and learn.

Cant wait for some dry weather to really be able to try it out. at the moment i cant even hit boost in 3rd if the roads are wet!

remix your car looks sweet. what ecu are you using? How many kms to a tank are you gettin?

hey dude,

did you contemplate about on a 25, 26 25/30 in the r32

or did u just go straight for the 26?

is it cheaper to forge a 25 then using a standard 26? (talkin drift sense here to get input for my r32)

you paid 5k for a 26 but would a 25 front cut with gearbox is better?

im thinking of a few combinations

where did u get yours done at? (your brother told me but i forgot now lol)

i did origanally by a rb25 with a twin turbomanifold setup sleekman. and i did think of a few of the combinations you mentioned but my mechanic just had this rb26 sittin there all ready to go so it was just too tempting.

Peter Grey In Gidgegannup did it for me. Top skyline mechanic. He used to race them and knows them back to front, inside out.

whats your real name? how do ya know my bro?

hey ben hows it going..adam here with the r33! last time i heard yo were chucking a rb25 in and then.... wooosh rb26 comes out of nowhere hahaha, cant wait to see this thing go aye!

hey adam. haha yeah it was bit of a surprise me as well. Just when i decided i wasnt going tot spend anymore money on the car too hah!

yeah we'll catch up soon mate. Gotta show ya, its a real handful

what did ya do with teh 25 with the tt setup on it, im interested in maybe eitehr boring my 25 to a 26 or going a tt25!

Trying to sell it mate. I think the TT manifold and turbos are gone but i still have the rb25 and the rb20

No they are custom twin turbo manifolds so they fit the gtr turbos but match up to the rb25. It came with 32 gtr turbos.

You coulda bought my R32 GTR for 15.5k

Sold now, had a new R33 GTR engine in it with 40k on it and two new turbos with 10k on them.

Oh well GL with ur project.

Mates also got a r32 gtst with R34 26 conversion, N1 turbs, ecu etc things a rocket when it grips.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
