hey people, i currently have a 33 s2 set up 4 casual drift (zeal coilovers, zorst, front mount, 3037 etc) but im looking at getting my hands on a 32 gtst rolling shell and dropping in an rb26 that my mate has sitting in his garage in japan and setting it up as somewhat of a dedicated drifter that will see a little road use every now and then. im choosing the 32 becase of its increased agility due to it smaller size and lighter weight.

anywho, im just woundering if some of you could shed some light on the subject 4 me, any information such as cost, time, other misc complexities, additional parts needed (its actually a full frontcut that im getting out of a 33 gtr which ill be mateing up to an rb25 box with OS giken internals). basically any info u have at all would be much appreciated as i want to be fully informed before doing it as iv seen a great number of poorly calculated and thought out projects get of to a roaring start only to die nmid way through due to riseing costs etc.

thanks again

ardie

Aren't they like 100 kilo's heavier?

exactly!

and i just want 2 have the most power that i can while keeping it responsive, 26 = less lag otherwise id just rip out my 25 and put it in, already got some work done 2 that. i just wanna go all out, i dont want 2 turn around after building a 2nd 25 and go "damn i wish id put in a 26" like iv heard a few people on the forums say and also im getting the halfcut pretty cheap and hopefully the shell will be too so itll work out alot cheaper than some old thrashed gtr

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
