hey guys

done a bit of a search but didnt come up with a great deal of info

i have a r33 4 door i am droping a rb26 into and instead of modding the sump and a few other parts, i am running twin hks td05 turbos and the rb25 engine mounts hit the external gates where as the 26 ones dont

so i was thinking if i could use a rb26 running gear

gbox

crossmember

hubs

axles

driveshaft

i would have to check my 2way to see what ratio it is so it matches but would there be any probles with doing this? i would like to keep the abs bit if i cant thats no worries

i would like to use the r32 set up so if can switch between awd and rwd

any tips, ideas or advice from someone who has done it would be sweet

thankyou

Ben

Hi mate ive got an rb26dett forged in my 4 door 33 but to run the GTR Running gear as you want the existing tunnell wont fit. You could belt up the tunnell to make the GTR gearbox fit but i didnt go down that path. It was a lot of work the car was off the road for about 4 months, Looms had to be changed to support the twiin turbo setup and twin afms. I ran the r34 gtt gearbox instead of the r33 gtst gearbox.....lost of sideways action but if you find out anyway to get the GTR running gear aka gearbox/ front drive shafts etc let me know coz traction is a problem when you got that much power going to the rear wheels only!!! PM me if need a hand with anything :P

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
