Im going to build me up a Nissan Silvia S15 for drifting here in norway and i love the Rb26DETT engine, so i want it in the s15.

No im not thinking of it because of tokyo drift he he.

But, is it hard to do? or should i consider an r33 drift spec?

There's a company in the USA which has done this and is currently selling the complete kit - think it's called R14? http://www.full-race.com/r14/

That is for a S14 but I can't imagine it being too dis-similar.

I thought drift cars needed good chassis balance? Why would you want to replace an all alloy inline 4 with a much longer and heavier cast iron inline 6?

I thought the goal of drifting was to get your car to oversteer from before the corner to beyond the exit, not understeer on the way in and four wheel drift on the way out....?

Well I was going to build it to rearwheel...

A buddy of mine got a silvia s13 with rb25det and he says its great to drift with, and he says that its not too diffferent with the eninge being heavier.

I dont know if its a good idea or not, just thinkin of it cuss i love the rb26 engine.

Just wantet to hear if people know something about it.

Well maybe its fiction on tokoy drift, but they got a silvia s15 with the rb26det

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
