Not ultimate different...

I've just about finished doing it to mine :blush:

For the cost price of a GTS-R... around the 15k mark... then the RB26 everything else like g/box etc.

Your looking at around 25-30k depending on what you want to do.

Can easily top 30k total cost... Or start from a GTS Turbo coupe @ a cost of 5k rather than 15k

Price of a GTR it is... but ive had this car for a few years and my GTS-R came that highly modified from Japan so fitting an RB26 was kinda a mute point.

But i would NEVER modify a stock HR31 GTS-R. To me its a waste of money... unless like mine, totally non-standard already

Your skyline sounds awesome R31Nismoid got a link to pictures if you've posted on the site? what where the power figures when u imported it in?

Well where i live probally never has a R31 GTS-R ever driven on its roads but with those figures you have shown i could buy a R32 GTR V-Spec II or a R33 V-Spec casue i am upgrading car in a couple of months as you probally know i own a R33 GTS-T and like every other place theres a fark load but not many GTR's so seprating to a RB26 powered R31 GTS-R or V-Spec would be a ultimate diffrent i do have a fair amount off $$$ to spend too me it wouldnt be a waste of money as i find it fun getting stock cars and turnin them into nice looking beast's we just finsht installing a workt 4G61T engine into my mates lancer but if i did install a RB26DETT into a R31 GTS-R what do you think the 1/4 mile time be around? just seein if it is worth it not much information is avaliable with this conversion.

thanks for the help

if you want to spend $$ on a hr31 coupe you'd be better specking to a broker to get one imported, maybe something from r31house might be what your after, please use a gts-x not a gts-r, save yourself $10,000 if your just going to put an rb26 in there anyway...M2c

if you want a gts-r there is a bloke here on the gold coast selling one in mint condition something like 80,000Ks on the clock for $15000 or something close....

there was a gts-r on j-spec, with a 26dett w/ AWD for maybe 11,500 excluding compliance about 3 weeks ago. had fat wheel arch flares and uber-dish rims... id be checkin and seeing if its still there, hey.

The way Victory tells the story, RB26's came from the factory with either single OR twin-turbo setups :)

In answet to the whole thread....an rb26 will bolt straight in to an R31 with the only changes being the sump and you need to fit the engine mounts off an RB from an R31. I also had to slightly massage a section of firewall behind the rear turbo to give slightly more dump pipe clearance also.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
