can you just have a Rb 26 block but have all the componets that a RB25 has like turbo manifold etc thorttle body?. cause i would just like to have the internals of a rb26 and just have a single turbo well its a plan anyway.

World Nissan Federation has just lifted its ban on single turbo RB26's, you should be able to get by no worry's

You can put RB26 pistons/rods/crank into the RB25. But IMO there is little point.

They are only marginally better than the RB25 gear.

Ideally you'd need aftermarket pistons if you wanted any increase.

And as for the manifolds, throttle bodies etc from RB25--RB26, they are different. Manifold bolt pattern especially.

It can all be made to fit, but it will cost.

Either way, if you dont have 15k, then no need to think about any of this :thumbsup:

RB25 is still going to cost you mate.

I hope you dont think its going to be a lot cheaper :)

Build motor in/out = ~6-7k

Turbo = $1700

Manifold = $1100

Then all the parts required to support, injectors, afm, ecu, coil packs, clutch, diff etc.

Your still looking at around 15k either way really.

How about you set a budget.

Then people here will be able to tell you what you can & can not attain with that money.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
