Did the same conversion in mine but mines a r33 4 door but the rb26 was worked, forged pistons, acl bottom end bearings the works. I love it, i rekon its the best thing ive eva did to the car,i put a 34gtt gearbox in, lots of wheel spin and fun. :thumbsup:

For sure the rb26 is a great engine conversion for any Nissan I've seen them go in 260z's would have been nice if Nissan had made them 2.8 or 3l from the factory but they are still a great engine at 2.6

HKS V-Cam!

:thumbsup:

Got the car up and runing last night fixed the few issues it had and test drove it. Test drove very good even at 8-9 psi moves nice. Will get it on the dyno and tune it up

Nice, post up dyno chart when done.

Finally got the car onto the dyno only had enough time to get some prelim tuning done up to 10psi as the client wanted the car back so didnt get enough time to install the boost controller.

Here is a video of the car on the dyno, as i said earlier that we used the RB20 gearbox and as you can here in the video the 4th gear syncro is worn and has seen better days.

Enjoy some RB sounds on the dyno.

The new E1280s from adaptronic is pretty sweet isnt it? even the old boxy version was pretty sweet for basic applications. The new one will probably replace the d-jetro PFC in our race car soon for a bit more R&D

Hey Trent

It's a nice bit of gear for the price far more advanced then a dejetro for a track car you have all the nice little features plus the ve tuning i started out with the e420c without ve then upgraded the firmware to ve and was much nicer.

Have you played with and mega squirts?? A mate of mine in qld swears by them the new ms3 has got some good features for a dirt cheap ecu the only downside you have to stick them together but a few place in the states put them together as a built unit.

Been playing around with your favourite ecu tonight pnp wolf v4 on a 33.

To be honest I Carnt go past nistune for any Nissan I really love to use them.

Ahh fair enough good excuse. Would like to get to the states one day check out the cars we are heaing to japan in October after Bathurst tho.

We are going to try do a full Vic season next yeah in the 31

    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
