:)

just looking at my options.

im on the hunt for a legnum because the kids are getting a bit big for the 33, and the boots arnt massive as you would all know.

not sure whether i sell the car as is or seperate it?

anyone else want the title?

although i think satanic has taken it from me now with a 2630.

yes there not overly roomy. I've never seen a legnum in the flesh but i asume there alot larger inside ... But then again its turbo'd..... and V6 ... do you really want to spend the money modding it (cmon you know it will happen) ... HPI guy is doing one currently i believe.

Had to say whether to part out or sell, there value has dropped alot..... maybe try as is... cause its a weapon..... and well known... and would be good to keep a tuff 4 door auto around....

Yeah i just remembered Satanic has it now. Still pretty close

The RB26 route is massively expensive. Anyone on this forum is kidding themselves if they think they wont want to start modifying a standard RB26 engine once its in their gtst. We've all got the bug. I reckon Beer Barron is being conservative with the $10K figure; this would be in labour only i reckon. When you think of the tailshaft mods, sump mods, power steering mods, etc, etc.

Barron is right when he says there is something about the RB26 engine though. It just looks good in an engine bay.

Alternatively, you could save yourself the heartache and just by my 350Kw RB26 powered R32 gtst! You'd be silly not to! :D

See the for sale section.

tailshaft mods? i dont see how u would have to do ne tailshaft mods if u use the rb25 box onto the 26 motor and use the 25 clutch... ???

power steering mods. u can bolt up a 25 ps pump to a 26. main difference is the 25 pump runs a 3pk belt gtr run a 4pk belt.

im in the middle of doing a 26... well 28 conversion into a r33. and yes they are costly if u do them properly.

but mate if u only want 350kw. forgies are probably ur best bet plus not mucking around with mod plates and queensland transport that way...

    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
