hey guys,

I have a r32 gtr and i'm on my p's and want to make it non turbo

the rb26 is missing the top end so i have a rb25de out of a r33 s2

and i wanted to run the 4wd system including the gtr gearbox and i have run into trouble as the 4wd sump wont bolt up to the rb25

so dose anyone know if i can use a rb26 block and put a rb25 crank,rods,pistons,head ect?

Lol one of these threads again, how long will it take for p platers to learn!

Please, please, please sell your GTR, NOW. Poor car, don't even dare try to do said modifications to such a great car. Buy an r32 2dr gts4, and molest that how you want, but for the love of god, don't touch that poor GTR!

Ok now in all seriousness, why would you want to do such a thing? Clearly you have no idea what you're doing, and the modifications you have suggested are wayyyy beyond what you are capable of. No the rb25 won't bolt up the 4wd sump, and no, you can't just wack a set of rb25 pistons/rods etc into a 26 block. Not to mention it's completely pointless because the car will be registered as a twin turbo and it's still illegal for you to drive. Honestly, when will people learn! You can't just rip a turbo off a turbo motor with no other worK, and expect it to run like a dream...

Why don't you buy a non turbo to start off with?

Better question still, why do you want a non turbo gtr???

Gts4 r32s are cheap as and are still 4wd. Not sure if they come in non turbos, but I'm sure just a regular r32 gts will do for p plates.

Please take our advice and don't be an idiot with that gtr...

Save your money and buy a gtr when you get off your Ps...

Your project has one major flaw. The car is still 110% illegal

The car is still build plated as a turbo, the car is therefore illegal, simple as that.

Regardless of if the car "has" a turbo on it or not is irrelevant for the purpose of legalities.

This has been covered countless times now so please spend the time reading all the information that is here.

What do you mean by "the rb26 is missing the top end"???

Have you actually taken the rb26 out? Or is this 16yo theory??? (Is it school holidays again...?)

If you do want to do this, you need to get an rb25 from a stagea or 33 gts4. Both cars are AWD and will bolt in the same as a 26.

If you do get the swap done, wired up and running a few things will happen:

1. You will go through fuel like crazy

2. You will breed a whole new group of lancer/corolla drivers who firmly believe they can beat a GTR

3. You will still be paying huge insurance

4. You will de-value your car

5. You will be laughed at from the wider skyline community

Why don't you grab $10k and burn it.... it's alot quicker.

Or... buy a really nice r32 gts with an NA rb25 and have some fun with that? Then keep saving for the costs of owning a GTR.

J.

garage it, sell it what ever

buy an NA or try and get an exemption for an R32 GTST sedan

and thats pretty much it

if you still want to drive a GTR, keep a tub of lube in the back so the cops have an easier time invading your rectum

Moved to Victoria.........its slightly more appropriate there than the Projects section given your location and the responses that i know are coming...........enjoy!

Throwing meat into a cage of lions :P

Yer man i think that everyone here will tel you the same story. Doesn't seem "smart" what you are doing. Just get an N/A and once you are off the p-plates jump into the GTR.

If i was that keen on a GTR i would just take the p-plates off and hope for the best lol cause either way you are stuffed!

Oh no, please don't do it. That will be one slow ass GTR, the S2 33 the RB25 came out of will even rape you no problem. Just get a 4 Door 32 and do tasteful sneaky mods to it and it will be quick.

If you do it though, please come down to my hood so my bro can race you in his Astra, it has chrome, its fast.

Look for a BMI dvd or youtube that has a girl who built an NA RB20 with 6 open throttle bodies trumpet style (?), the bloody thing REV and scream like crazy, sounds awesome.

look guys i know you are all against this but at the end of the day i already own the gtr and i have a r32 gts with a rb20de but why would i spend all the money on th gts to make it look like a gtr and it's not worth shit, and i dont see any gts4 non turbos... i don't give a shit about the car being plated as a turbo so what its plated as a turbo but at the end of the day its only a non turbo gts powered car that has the stopping of a gtr,

say if you had a vk plated as a v8 with a six they wont touch you...

say you had a mazda rx3 but you put a piston in it they still wont touch you...

my mate has a r33 gtst but has a rb25de in it they dont touch him cos it dosen't have the power of what the plate says...

They won't touch joo!

I think you just summed up what you should do.... Since you have a R32 GTS, why don't you just spend that extra money you saved up and upgrade the brakes and suspensions.

Do it I'll even run it up on my dyno for you so you can show your mates that your gtr make all of 60 kw at he wheels. Even a clapped out high km stock gtr will make 150 at the treads.

Take everyones advice park it up or sell it and drive the gts.

Also the barke power of a gts will be more than enough for a gts unless you plan on building a high as fk comp rb25 with massive cams and itb's then you may have to put a good set of pads and rotors on the factory calipers.

By all means give us a call and we can do it for you.

I must repeat,

I have one suggestion, stop smoking crack...

It's bad for you honestly.

What is with kids these days, I swear they're getting more stubborn than before!

Ash, I'm surprised you haven't lock this thread sooner.

Drive the GTS around till you are off your Ps.

"Park" the GT-R and put money into modding it - the money you spend in converting to an RB25DE and re-converting it back to an RB26 (original engine) once you are off your Ps can buy many mods - with less hassle - which sometimes does not have a dollar value....

Once you are off your Ps you will have a modded GT-R ready to go....

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
