would the rb26 bolt up to the GT-4 standard 5 speed? how good are these boxes from factory??

thanks

Yep, direct bolt in. The are the same box out of the r32 and r33 gtr, but run the push config clutch. Should be quite tough (as tough as a gtr box is :thumbsup:)

What? Jason told me your car was still in the workshop... sucks that you got defected, though I'm hardly surprised...the car doesn't exactly fade into the traffic with that kind of presence!

Let me know if/when you get it back on the roads and I shall bring my stocko down and have a chat sometime.

Jason Nottle, used to be at Minisport, now at ETSA with me, he's building a weapon of a 1600, lime green + SR20.

Had a look over your car at the Extreme Horsepower Show, once again I was tempted to go for a JDM street racer styling lol.

Arr yeh, know him from school.

I'll update this with pics soon but the engine is here as of a couple of weeks ago. Have basically stripped the intake side down, replacing all heater hoses and gaskets. Will be putting the stock engine in just to get it engineered with it in and building a 30 on the side.

Well the 26 Is here and slowly getting worked on by me. Found out it has a nismo clutch and flywheel which wasnt in the description on the yahoo page :happy:

Have taken all the plenum off and heater hoses, which will be getting replaced with Black silicon hoses :). Theres a small crack in the plenum i need to get welded up to.

I manage to purchase a whole heap of stock parts of a member on here, just so i can get it legal with the engine in while getting the 30 built in the mean time.

Parts include

-Stock Radiator

-R34 GTR vspec 2 Turbo's + dumps

- Vspec 2 ECU

- Intercooler

- Injectors

- Piping

Now that the engine is here i have realised just how many small parts i need which will all add up

Havent really found out how hard it is to make it legal yet but will be making sure it is.

Brakes have already been doing to 34 GTR items so im hoping thats it.

i saw you have a carbon boot lip, just a quick one where did you get it and do they make the roof lip spoiler too? iv looked on origin's website but nothing for a r34, any help would be great

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
