Well,the time had come ladies & gents,for the next part of the puzzle that is my GT-R to occur. As you can see,the day before was all quiet and serene...

But then,the hired help arrived!

Organised months earlier,the car went from this:

To this...

So,we got to the point where...

And,VOILA! The reliable,and in no-need-of-removal-really RB26DETT was out!

So,I must extend a huge thankyou to Jester,BulletR32,Frink,Bluprint,Scooby and Jimmy(forum name,Jeremy?)for putting in the hard yards. Seriously,without the enthusiasm,and sometime delirium,these guys showed up with,I'd be Wallaby Ted's cousin(Roo...)!

Thankfully,everything went really smoothly,and I've already removed the stock turbos now the engine is on the stand(waaaaay easier than attempting it on the car!).

So,if anyone would like to suggest a good,clean,no-numbers firearm so I can hold up a bank to get the funds required for the rest of the build...

As you can see,I'm just wrapped...

(Luke;you didn't get my 'good' side,LMAO!

Lessons learnt? Wheel trolleys are a GOOD thing. Have a suitable socket for the B.F.O. axle nuts. Have some engine stand bolts ready if your new stand doesn't come with them. Coffee,CocaCola and Beagles around food are a catalyst for trouble. Jerra' Pub looks WEIRD in the daylight.

And,most importantly,good friends are invaluable,not just for their efforts on one day!

Jayce.

Love all the safety gear your pit crew is into - reebok runners and such......lol

So what are you looking for, a good 180B motor to update with?

PS Glad its not my bank a/c your gunna use.

You Have Beagles?

please.

Oh,OK;if I must...

These are our 'kids'(the GT-R is 'the other woman',according to my wife,LOL!)

I <3 Beagles.

I miss my old set (left them with the ex-girlfriend :laugh: )

No need for the thanks Jayce!

Its just what we do!

Now we can add an R32 GTR to our long list of engine removals/conversions...

Conversions include:

1. R31 - RB25DET engine and gearbox(R33)

2. R31 - RB25DET NEO engine (R34) and gearbox (R33)

3. R33 GTS4 - RB26DETT (R32)

4. R32GTST - RB25DET and gearbox (R33)

5. R31 - RB20DET and gearbox (R32)

Removals / Replacements include:

1. Multiple R31 RB30E and gearbox swaps

2. R33GTST - RB25DET swap

AND last but not least - R32 GTR RB26DETT removal.

You could say that we have SOME experience with tinkering with Skylines :P

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
