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

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
