Hey all,

I did a search but couldn't find anything on this topic. Just wondering what mods should be done to a stock RB26 to get the most out of it.

ie. 1. Air induction kit

2. ECU

etc.

I don't know to much about the RB26 engines so I just want to know what people usually to these and how the get them going so fast.(I just imported a purple R33 GTR v-spec pics soon)

Cheers

What you got to spend?

how far do you want to go?

what can you afford?

you need to think about all of these! you've got to remember that you have a car thats going to cost a bit to maintain.

Try the basics first

Hi flow air filter - cheap

Irridum sparkplugs - moderate price

cam gears - slightly pricy

Power FC computer and tune - pricy

new turbo's - very pricy

Convert RB30 - Very pricy

Other go fast things

Full exhaust - Very pricy

High quality tyres - Very pricy

Use search, there's no end of upgrades.

Hey guys,

Things have been changed a bit, the importer lied to me and said that he got a purple GTR v-spec but I called him yesturday and he couldn't find one(bullsh!t). Anyway I was only going for the R33 because I love that purple colour, but now I can't get it so I am going for a silver R32 GTR with a bit of work done(290 awkw's).

What sort of 1/4 times would we be looking at with this much power?

I want one good run out of it and then I will drop the boost for a daily driver.

I know I need some bigger AFM's Z32 probly (has anyone got any for sale or know where I can get them) and and maybe a bigger cooler.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
