in the middle of doin a rb26 into r32 gts-t and wondering if i can use the rb20 wiring harness ill be running an after market computer with map sensor so the duel air flow

sensors wont be a problem

all the other sensor plugs look the same but just want to be sure

I suppose you could use the 20 harness, but it would require lots of hacking and modification. I have never done it. Every time I use a RB26 cyl head, no matter what engine or what car, I always use the RB26 harness.

If you have a 26 harness, use it. Its rather easy to use make work in a GTS-T. Just need to hardwire in your injector resistor pack, most the rest plugs right in.

thats the prob i dont have the 26 harness the block i got was fairly bare but it still has most of the sensors still on it

i plan on running a haltec or similar with map sensor ecu

i dont really wanna pay for a after market harness that why i was hoping the rb20 harness works

If I were you i would try to pick up a RB26 harness used. Your just going to have a headache using the 20 harness. lots of the sensors on the harness are in different locations and would require extending some and some sensors may use different plug ends on them.

Im not sure about Aus, but a second hand RB26 harness goes for around $150 CAD here in Canada. I know of a couple for sale right now in fact. If in the end you decide to purchase one and have troubles finding one you can pm me and I can help track one down for you. Shipping could be pricey tho :( Something to keep in mind.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
