Hey guys!

Just wanting to grab some advice.. I was looking at doing this conversion about a year ago but didnt go ahead while in planning stage because of some factors..

Can anyone tell me what i would need to have my R32 converted from a standard RB20 to a RB26?? :ermm:

I know most but i would just like some dot points on what i would need?

Things like..

- RB26DETT engine (was looking at getting a GTR halfcut)

- Power FC/RB26 ECU?

- rb25 or rb20 gearbox

- Single piece tailsaft?

-

and so anyone else that has done this once before if you could give me some info would be MUCH appreciated!!!!

(I am also planning on keeping it RWD too)

Thanks Everyone!

:P

Dave!

Hi Mate,

Ive done this conversion to my car which is a R33 GTST Sedan. I changed Engine Wiring loom, r32/33gtr ecu or u can go PFC, I went with the R34 GTT gearbox with an r33 gtst manual tailshaft, but you can use the r33 gtst gearbox.

I think the only difference in between the 2 gearboxes are the R33 Gearbox is a push type and R34 gearbox is a push type.

You will need to modify the front sump, take off and weld the holes where the front drive shafts come out or you might be able to find one that has already been welded up.

You will also need the power steering pump, alternator (might be able to use the same ) I think the reason you need to change them is because the width of the pulleys and the fan belts are smaller on the rb20/25.

You will also need the return bov piping unless ur planning to run the pfc djetro or a mafless tune.

Thats all i can think of for the moment

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
