ok well here are the questions:

1. the rb26dett powersteering pump is for a hicas model, my car is not hicas, can i use this pump and just pluck the lines going to the rear rack and pinion or do i need a diffrent pump? if so what pump do i need?

2.im using an rb20 transmission with my rb26dett what clutch and flywheel do i need to use? i hers i can use the rb26 flywheel and a na z32 300zx clutch kit, is that true? if not what do i need to use to make it work?

if there is any more knowelege u would like to share with me on this swap please inform me! thanks

1. You can use the HICAS pump but in your case you need to disable the rear pump inside of it. In all HICAS pumps ther is 2 pumps inside. The rear pump is for the hicas. If you take the rear of the pump apart you will see metal fins inside. Just grab a magnet and pull those out and bolt it back together and then you can plug off/weld the rear line and you will be fine. If you dont remove those find you will overheat the fluid and it will sweat out all over and feel stiff.

2. You can use the R32 RB26 clutch flywheel and PP and disc. They are all the same for all RB's. I even use 32 GTR disc's and PP in SR20's but the Flywheels are different is all. The Z32 non turbo is like 5 mm smaller in diamiter so go with the GTR and use the full surface on the flywheel. :laugh:

Other option on the PS pump is to swap it out for an R33 GT-R pump which doesn't have the hydraulic takeoff for HICAS (RB30 CEFFY's suggestion is the cheaper alternative however).

then you need to swap a few things not just the pump. it is best just to remove the rear pump fins.

go to nico forum, there is very little info on here for RB conversions into s-series, bear in mind it is a very simple swap and requires custom gearbox mount adapters only, the rest is a bolt in affair. The conversion into the S13 we use took about a week in a shed without the use of hoists etc.. i fitted a R32 lower rad support and castor brackets etc to make more room between radiator and engine as i really did not want to run thermos.... but i ended up getting a GREDDY read which is so damn big i had to run flex-a-lite fans any way.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
