yes the rb26dett does fit into normal gts-t's (well i have seen and heard about plenty of conversions etc from the standard RB25DET to the RB26DETT)

The engine itself is alot more powerful i believe and theres also a few extras that come with the car ... i think.

its just like pathetic holdens etc,

They have SS models, HSV etc etc the GTR is just the more advanced, more powerful model of the GTS-T

Mostly those two things, but a few other subtle differences -

Added gauges to GTR

Different bodykit/wing/front bar/badging

Bigger fuel pump on GTR (bigger injectors etc taken as given on the different engine)

Different gearbox (different ratios)

Bigger brakes on GTR

Different wheels (forged alloy on GTR I think as opposed to cast on GTS-t)

Flared guards on GTR

That's about all I can think of right now, I'm sure there's more but that's probably most of it.

You can put an RB26DETT into a GTS-t without too many hassles. If you want the 4WD though, a better conversion is to drop one in to a GTS4, which has the same gearbox and 4WD system as a GTR.

Either way you are probably looking at around $10k for the conversion including parts and labour, plus a lot of time off the road. It can be viable if you buy the original car cheaply enough at the time.

Not to mention suspension, drivetrain, 4wd system, computer system, internal gauges and dials..

no comparison really :)

Kind of like the difference between a BMW 318i and a BMW M3.. the only similarity might be the BMW badge. Maybe instead of listing the difference we should list the similarities.. we'd be here for less time as the list of things they share is quite short :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
