so how hard is it? anyone gone through this yet? will be transferring gtr motor and gearbox over to my 33 gtst and want to know what parts i will find difficult apart from getting the parts needed for the conversion itself and any other related info would be great!

i have in my possession already the motor, box, loom, ECU, fmic, afm's, and other engine related parts already. i know i will need a Y-pipe or wateva that part from the dumps to the cat is called. also have upgrade fuel pump already diff is 2way.will the mounts line up? will i need any other parts that ive left out? need as much help as possible! thanks everyone!

dude you can use the gtst 5 speed, theyr identical except for the transfer case. as for fittup, theyr identical motors to bolt in. you will need the ecu and exhaust done, but basically straight in shel go!

sounds too easy...lol so basically its a straight drop in? ecu wise ive got it with the loom as well which came as a package :) is there any difference over which is better between the GTR box and the 33gtst one? will i have any issues regarding running only RWD rather than 4WD?

My GTS25t race car has a 26 head on 30 blockwin turbos, GTR inlet and t

I use a GTS25t power FC, GTS25t temp sensor, single AFM, resistor pack and low impedence injectors. Otherwise it's all RB25DET connections.

is there a MASSIVE performance difference between the rb25det and the rb26dett? will my driveline need any upgrading? brakes should be sufficient im guessing coz 33gtst are the same as 32 gtr (non brembo).

GTRgeoff- did all the engine bay accessories fit straight up eg power steering, aircon, etc etc? and is everything literally bolt straight up to the 26?

the gtr and gtst gearboxs are exactly the same internally and will handle the same amount of abuse.

You will actually see a gtst withstand a tad more punishment hp wise purely because there is a fusable link (the rwd) so it will smoke tyres before it will break the box itself, a gtr will just grip and put everything under more strain. I dont see a reason why the stock box wouldnt happy take 500-600rwhp with some decent oil in it.

The rb26 on stock turbos at 15psi will be much quicker than the rb25 with stock turbo at 15psi, so you will notice a very nice jump in power.

Goodluck with the conversion, you will be baking tyres :cheers:

sump wise i was wondering if i could use the 33 gtst sump to put onto the gtr motor?

in my gtst will be running in RWD anyways, therefore the power handling and abuse tolerance should be the same then according to what R34GTFOUR is saying. my old setup of stock rb25det motor with highflowed turbo, trust full exhaust, apexi front mount and with about 1bar boost (yes that is it) felt very quick and nearly no boost lag. planning to get a dyno run done (finally after 3yrs hahah) to see before and after figures to compare torque and any other relavant info. with the 26 going in, it will be running completely stock, apart from pod filters, full exhaust, probably get it running at 12 or 14psi daily and a JUN remapped computer.

SHOULD I MAKE SIMILAR/MORE PERFORMANCE FROM THE 26 considering it is a torqueier motor with an extra turbo....?

hey you wont be able you use the 25 or a 30 sump they are not deep enough to clear the crank cradle, you will have to mod the standard sump by cutting out the front diff arangment. If you use the rb30 pan all its made out of is pressed steel sheeting where the 26 sump is 6-7mm alluminium and this will be greatly stronger and help with the block regidity.

Where did you hear that rot???

Look in the thread below. Maybe you will find something I haven't.

The stock oil pump is as good as you will need. Just make sure the pump drive is a later model, not an early one.

And keep the GTR sump and remove the diff. It holds no oil for the sump. Do fit a filter relocator and cooler and add about 1 litre extra if you go to the track. Also, while the sump is off fit a gated oil collector around the pickup.

All the accessories will fit but the harmonic balancer on the gtr has different drive pulleys, so get a good after market RB25 one from one of the traders. They all use the same crank nose so it will fit.

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
