Hey guys I'm soon to get off my P's in July next year, and have had all the bodywork on my car done, was looking at dropping a RB26DETT to finish off the show engine bay for the car for autosalon.

Currently I've got:

1995 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-4, so already has awd setup

Just wondering if I dropped the RB26 into it, would the standard diffs be alright for just general street use or would I need to get GTR diffs to hold it.

Cheers in advance guys, any advice is good

Im going down this track in the next couple of months/weeks so i'll let u know how the standard one holds up.

I'll be using a 6sp getrag tho with the stock rear diff. If it blows ive got a bnr34 rear end tho :)

Standard will be fine.

The big difference will be your gearing.

GTS4's have shorter 1st-4rd gears (only by a couple of teeth)

GTS4's also have shorter diff ratios.

haha never knew i had 4rd gear...haha

cool thanks the info guys...will keep an eye out for how yours turns out as i wont be doing this until next year, still waiting on the car to come out of the panelshop atm

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
