hey guys i got bored this mornin and decided considering i get asked stuff about my car, instead of telling everyone seprately i thought i'd make up a cardomain page on it showing the car from when i bought it stock rb25 form 18 months ago and then added the rb26 with info (seperate page) on the parts and tasks needed to complete it. then i go through the diff conversion to a gtr rear end and gtr brakes, and about my current engine build and all the other stuff ive done over that 18 months.

ive uploaded about 60 pics as well of everything.

my stagea

let me know what u think :D

cheers

Brad

How much?

wow that could be a touchy subject... would be curious about the answer though.

I'd say not everyone who plants a 26 into their stagea would go to this extent, though... JUN motor and all that.

Plan on leaving it look like a standard RSFour, Darrin? thats what i'd be doing...

That is one hell of a write up, enjoyed every word i read.

I definately would not like to be your bank ballance thats for sure lol.

Although it would be interesting knowing what it ended up costing, lol.

I wouldve just bought a 260RS and put an RSfour kit on it...

If you bought it a couple of years ago, id say 260's would have been hideously expensive back then though?

Thats how it is, though. You buy a car, and you just keep adding to what youve got, and over a couple of years, it all adds up. Id hate to count up what ive spent on mine.

By the time its done, say 6mths, moneywise i could have bought a stock S1 rs260. Which is kindof disheartening... Havent even touched the engine!

thanks guys and alex that amount of 45k was before i did the engine build i might add, and ill just say the engine rebuild (not the rb26 just the rebuild of it) and supporting hardware is worth almost about the same as the initial car and rb26 conversion so its not cheap but u get what u pay for and every single part on that car is brand new and the engine parts were choosen by the owner of JUN in japan for a jun distributor workshop in perth (deal went wrong and i bought the parts off them) and it was garantueed to make 800rwhp with a t78 turbo and thats just on a reasonable tune, these engines with a t88 are made for over 1200-1300hp and 11000rpm+ :D

GTR-700 gtr runs the jun 2.7l crank and jun gear and has ran a 8.273 @ 167.76 mph using VeilSide

GT-3542 (x2) turbos so they are even beating the os giken 3L gtr's :D

hoping for a low boost tune later this week if the shop isnt too busy and thats on about 18psi and around 450-500rwhp is the goal for a safe figure to save the fragile gtr gearbox.

i cant wait is all i can say ;)

heres a list of the worlds fastest 4wd records at the drags on slicks...

1st HKS Japan Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 7.671 181.98 mph HKS GT3540R (x2)

2nd Avance Japan Nissan Skyline R32 GTR 8.119 171 mph MHI TD06-25G (x2)

3rd www.exvitermini.com Australia Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 8.273 167.76 mph VeilSide GT-3542 (x2)

so 3rd fastest in the world is a jun stroker :)

EDIT: that exvitermini site was Last updated: 26-July-2005 so its a year old but u get the idea none the less.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
