ok....well i am looking 2 get an engine swap in my R34...and i was wondering if anything on the body would need to be changed if i was swapping a RB25DE to a RB26DETT...i know it is .1 litre bigger...but is there anything i would need to change to have a GT-R engine in my R34? I was thinking if something needed to be changed then it would most likely change everything like i would have 2 get a GT-R Hood and body kit...but im not sure...so plz help me with this...and if something needs to be changed then tell me everything that needs 2 be changed like if i needed a GT-R hood i would also need a GT-R body kit...Thanx 4 the help :)

youd need to change very little. certainly not the body kit , as that has no bearing onthe engine. the rb26 doesnt sit any higher than the rb25, though if you wanted top mount turbos you may have to lok at bonet clearance. (more of an issue with rb30s as the block is higher.

youll need a new ecu, remap and perhaps it wopuld be wise to look at uprated drive shafts and certainly brakes and suspension to handle the ike from 200 ish bhp to 300plus.

lot of work mate ...but can be done

thanx mate!

What you need:

RB26DETT

RB25DET box - NA boxes will not be able to hold that power and RB20DET boxes will strip gears and do in bearings at that level too.

RB26DETT loom - You will have re-wire the whole ECU system

RB26DETT ECU - Self explanatory

GTR or Higher Fuel Pump - NA fuel pumps will simply not supply enough fuel

Fuel Pressure regulator - You will need to replace this for the fuel system

RWD sump - I know Rb 25 AWD and RWD sumps are direct fit but I dont know if a 25 sump will fit a 26

Front pipe/Dump pipe will need to be changed too

Then there is everything you really SHOULD change.. but not absolutely essential for the engine to work

Diff - Large power and open diffs do not go well together

Brakes - I like knowing I can stop.. especially as I am assuming your putting in a 26 to go faster.. going faster means you will need more braking power

Exhaust - A stock GTR exhaust is the LEAST you should put on.. You dont want to have all this power and not get the most out of it

Front Mount Intercooler - Stock ones are fine but you will have to source one as the RB26 engines dont usually come with them and you will need it to complete the intake piping

You may need to chop/change the front bar to allow for a FMIC

A boost gauge is a good idea too

And a stock bonnet will be fine

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
