I didnt think you had vvt in the 26 head?

Just out of interest have you spoken to Robbie at RIPS?

http://www.ripsltd.co.nz/

sori, vct/ yea a lil but hes a busy guy, if im not payin him i dnt think he want to help??

and its a huge toll call lol,,

thanks

go to the first page and download the pdf guide after you read that and if there are any specific questions to what your doing ask away!

the guide pretty much explains it all when it comes to what goes with what and how.

Read it carefully as i just put my motor in forgetting to do the RB25 sump mod now i gotta drop the sump off which is a bitch considering i just had the motor out on a stand!!!!!

RB26 does not have any form of VVT/VCT/VTEC

26 heads dont have vct - thats only the gheyass rb25's

my gheyass RB25 doesn't!

kool thanks, so wat do i need to block off etc?

ive neva realy been intrested in rb30s im realy stubbrn like that,, just realy been doin others,

im not going to spoon feed you, read the damn thread and pdf

It's so ghey that HKS decided to make one for the 26 and sell it for a small fortune :banana:

sif kill my bagging of the rb25 :(

one a side note, my billet girdles are ready :D

the one you see below is for the 4wd guys, it has the adapter encorporated in it. i can re-design it to make them for rwd rb30's, rwd rb26's & rwd rb20's. this also means my 4wd adapter plates are good to go aswell :D

so these adapters go over the top of the standard girdle?

so these adapters go over the top of the standard girdle?

correct. the std girdle/main caps get machined down to suit.

i initially looked at getting rid of the std cast caps, but when i looked at the caps where the bearings sit, they are not round (oval shaped) and they are slightly recessed - i dont have the funds to do r&d on 2+ motors to get that style of girdle correct, but i do have the funds to do r&d on this style of girdle

Wing it.. If you haven't got half a brain to work out the problems as you come across then its best you don't do the conversion. :banana:

Get the two motors in front of you and have a look. Its all quite simple.

yea i get that, i only have the head to look at, block is at machinests waiting on wat to do,

im just tryna cut down time,,,

sorry for asking this probably been asked and answered a few times but im not reading 306 pages.. so can someone please tell me the difference between a rb30 short block and long block.. and does it matter what one i use

Long motor includes bottom end and head and all internal parts but no accessories.

short motor is same as above minus the head, includes internal parts inside the block and sump.

It's obvious what you need for the det conversion.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
