Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a late model R33 GTS4 and doing a RB26 conversion. Has anyone does this before?

Just wanna know what I'll have to change in the drive line.. like Gear box etc..

Just curious to know if the R33 GTS'4 use the ATTESA system like R33 GTRs?

thanks guys..

Yes. They use the same ATTESSA as GTR.

Its not the exact same gearbox as GTR (shorter gears) but stronger than GTS

You will have to upgrade fuel pump to match the 26's needs.

Other than that. Its all very straight forward

So the Drive line is strong enough as it is? Dont need to upgrade beside gear box clutch?

So if i was to buy a late Mode R33 GTR half cut... with Box and ECU loom.. etc.. all that stuff..

Everything will bolt in fine?

all depends on your drive, if you're dumping the clutch from the rev limiter constantly and side stepping the clutch during changes then don't expect anything to last long.

The car will be driven to its limits on the track... But on the street just the usual burst here and there...

Should be alright I'm assuming...

i hate to be a smart arse, but nissan did it. They took a gts4 and put in a rb26 a well as giving it a wide body kit and some more guages, among other things.

They called it the skyline gtr.

Seriously though, why do you want to go down this path? Cost? how much do you think you will save? Something different perhaps? Found a cheap gts4? Doing it for a challenge or hobbie? etc...

gearbox will be fine

rear diff wont be

its not a small job, like any conversion, its gonna cost quite a few $$$.

Unless you were getting the gts4 really cheap, i would sit down and do the math and see how much you're going to spend. With the price of r33 gtr's these days i think you'll find that it doesnt work out that much more to get the real deal.

But its all apart of the fun, if this is a project car go do it and you'll learn a whole lot, but if you want it as a daily save up that little extra and just get the gtr

I bet you will be half way thru the conversion and say to yourself "i should have just bought a bloody GTR"

If you do complete the GTS4 RB26 conversion, it still will never be a GTR.

Never want it to be a GTR.. just a street sleeper.

Im going down this same path with my R34 GT-four. Hoping to bolt a RB26/30 into it later this year. Will let you know how i go. I'll make a project build thread sometime in the year.

I did it with my R32, now i have a 316kw GTS4. Would have been heaps cheaper to just buy a GTR but that depend if ya gonna do the work yourself. The look on peoples faces is classic when you blow them away at the lights :)

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
