Hey guys.

Ok basically I've searched around but have had no luck finding what I'm looking for. I will be swapping a 26 engine in to my R32 GTS-t. I know the motor will bolt right up to either my RB20 tranny (yes I know it's not all that strong) or the RB25 tranny at which point I'll also need the 25 drive shaft. Motor mounts are no issue, I can use my current ones, oil pan I know is either the 20 or 25 or both (need to verify which), clutch is any GTR clutch from 89 to 92 so that's all covered as well.

Mainly what I need some help with is the wiring. I'll have a full/uncut wire harness for the 26 and I would like to know what's envolved with wiring it all up. I've looked for some diagrams but nothing specific came up so if anyone can lend a brother a hand that would be great :happy:. I also have heard it's a good idea to use the GTR gauge cluster instead of the GTS, if so that's no problem to get either.

Thanks so much guys.

Cheers.

is the RB26 harness from an R32 GTR?

i cant see the harnesses from both cars being all that different ,the GTR engine harness should plug in to the GTSt body harness

ive never done the conversion myself using the stock harnesses but im pretty sure the body harness is the same across the board so as long as you use a GTR engine harness, ECU and cluster you should be sweet

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
