At the risk of getting shot. *dons flame suit of +5 fire resistance*

I wouldn't consider putting an RB26 into anything other than a GTR or GTS4. Too costly to maintain. Oil problems. Damaged bearings are damn common. On a plus side heaps of aftermarket support.

You want to do an engine swap into something different? Well its going to be hard anyhow if the engine doesn't belong there. Just be done with it and use a 2JZ-GTE or twin turbo/supercharge a 1UZ-FE.

pretty sure it was front

:P

i'm pretty sure i know the car you're talking about... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sl...ay-t191543.html

in which case, it was proven to not be a magna engine bay.

there is NO way a 26 will fit north/south in a magna engine bay as its not very deep, and designed for east/west engines.

there is also NO way a 26 will fit east/west with a gearbox attached to the back of it, my legnum had a V6 which was almost half the size, and the gearbox used to hang under the chassis rail as it was, let alone with a straight 6.

Dont know why, but ive always thought of a VL Calais, Rb26 on a 30 bottom, T51R etc as a thing that would be a fun toy for skidpans and generally driving like a dickhead.

Shame all the douchebags with dose etc have f*ked it up.

And its by FAR the easiest non nissan chassic to do that to for obvious reasons

VL Calais, 26/30, T51R, Transbrake.

i'll take one!

LC or LJ Torana. A nice VK commodore with vl k frame and mounts.

A c110 skyline and a 180b/200b coupe, but theyre Datsuns. Mk3 supra

I remember that rb26 magna, it was converted to rwd if i remember correctly. It had a tranny tunnel cut and welded in, no idea what rear end they used. Was plain white with the standard 14's on it. The owner had too much money.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
