Hey, i was wondering if it is at all possible or if anyone has already done this?

I have been doing some research and thought that using the RB26 block would have its advantages like the added strength as well as not fouling on the bonnet.

any ideas would be great

cheers

You would need a spacer between block and head or you will punch the pistons right through the head.

I believe that's the way they do it in Japan ala OSGiken 3L with custom crank/rods/pistons.

Note the deck spacer and sleeves :)

Yeah i also noticed the $31,000 US pricetag :)

just looking at different options at the moment, the vg30 has a shorter stroke and also custom pistons could be made to suit, i read somewhere that someone de-stroked the crank to 2.9 ltrs and put it together like that

Custom crank $5-6000

Custom pistons $1500

Custom rods (good ones) $1900

Waiting months and months when you couldve done a 3.0L, priceless.

If the racespec ones are in stock that would be a different story. One thing though, i dont like how they use 87.5mm bore.

Gold! :blink:

When Spools 3.4L kits become available (and if I have fundage) I'll start to build a 3.4L on the side to go into the skyline and the stag can have the current 30.

that would be sweet, hmmm have decided to just stick with the 30/26 been done before and dont want to fck something up trying to make my own hybrid engine

hmm now i have a complete rb26 bottom end to sell as well as a brand new R34 Nur Spec front diff and sump, any takers?

What's the deal with the sump? if it's fancy enough I could probably talk Mikey into it ;)

it wont fit in a 32 :) will only fit in a 33gtr or 34gtr, the 32 is too narrow for it to fit in, i got it with my engine as the person who sold it to me couldnt use it on his 32

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
