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

    • 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!
