Rb26 R33 Sedan

[sxc33]

Looked around alot lately about this, but cant find anything, and since this about jap sedans, i thought i would start here.

How many people have put a 26 in a 33 sedan and put up any info about it on here?

Very keen on looking at this when my current motor eventually blows up lol

Cheers Chris

I seem to remember a story in Zoom mag about exactly this. A workshop in SA was doing the work??

Don't have teh mag anymore so can't check

Yeah i only have about 3 issues of that one. The car getting the roadworthy, one detailing how they fryed the tranny and another about getting the shift sequence right.

Thats where the idea come into my head.

Either its gone or i

Martin Donnon has done it! There is a full feature on the build up in zoom. Their conversion was an auto. Car ran 11s on a fairly std rb26 i believe.

Yeah, it ran the 5 speed auto, was worked over by mv automatics, had r34 gtt rims etc

I am interested in engine mounts, speedo calibrations, how they made the 26 block fit the RE510A (or whatever it is) gearbox etc etc etc.

Sweet dude! I dont spose u know if he did the conversion himself? (i will email him obviosuly)

[toffy]

believe it or not , its a fairly simple conversion going gts4 to gtr and not alot more work starting with a rwd.

what are you planning on doing, going 4wd keeping 4wd or staying 2wd? (will help alot with with explaining what you need )

Fairly simple if u wanna stay manual....

The plan is to go rwd, but keep the auto (awaiting the flaming lol)

I knows it an odd set up, and would be easier to go manual (much easier ), but i want auto.

From what i understand the 5 speed auto that was used in the zoom magazine featured veh is the same as the 4 speed (which i currently have). What i wanna know is how did they make the 26 fit the auto box?

I have only seen one example of this being done (in the magazine) although i am sure that it has ben done elsewhere

take the spigot bush out, bolt the flex plate up, bolt the gearbox to the back of the motor:D the only difficulty you may find is the bottom brackets on the gearbox, pending what you do with your sump, id imagine they'd all be the same for rwd rb series engines but make sure you have the rb26 ones just incase

I have worked out a bit of moding the sump is required, both to clear cross member and for the aforementioned bottom bracket. Other than that it seems a bit more forward than i first thought...
