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

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
