Rb26/30 Into S15

[toy515]

hey guys i have been searching for about the last hr and cant find much regarding everything i can do to sit it low into my s15

i have a rb26 in there at the moment and using r32 rb20 crossmember mounts and brackets and thats fine but 26/30 i might have problems getting it to fit

i know you can redrill your engine brackets lower but is there anyother tricks i can do to get it lower? i dont mind changing crosmembers ect.. if its going to sit it lower

sway bar it not a problem as its a custom set up

thanks

The R32 crossmember will be fine

you should put an r33 x member and vl engine mounts this is what i have in my drift car and i have had the 2630 in there with no problems...the 33 sits lower than the 20 x member and vl mounts are also lower

cefiro crossmember sits slightly lower than r32/33 doesnt it?

so less issues with bonnet clearence ect

when you say vl mounts do you meant the engine mounts themselves or the brackets that bolt to the side of the block?

That was a rumour that was going around for years but apparently they have the same part number so they are infact the same. R32 Vs Ceffy that is, R33 is definitely different.

Just so everyone knows, there are kits now being sold in America for Engine & gearbox mounts for RB series into s13/s14 chassis - surley they can be modded to fit a s15...

i got the kit, arrived the other day looks quality. hope i can get the motor finished & stick it in the car mid Jan to see how it all sits.

the motor is dry sumped so ill be sitting it as low as possible.

will take pics in a month or so.

Nissan wreakers have been selling conversion kits since 1994, you only need OEM parts to make it all work, RB30 excepted because its 38mm taller in the deck height, so doesnt fit the S chassis very Well.

Hey Guys, we dummy fitted the rb30 into the S14 today with all the dry sump gear there was to my surprise more then enought rrom to fit raddiator etc... we already pulled it out and are going to start screwing the rest together tomorrow.. let the fun begin.
