I have just been on a American skyline forum and all i can say is that i am glad the skyline will never go anytime soon the the US. Like Supercharging a GTR and Ripping the heart out of a GTR (RB26) and putting it in a corvette. There is a limited supply of skylines now so we need to make sure that they arnt ruined.

Acknowledging that the 2.6L RB engine is better than the 5.7L V8 could be a good thing :rant:

I have to admit that I do kinda like the late model Corvettes, especially the (late great) Lingenfelter twin turbo'd jobbies. Mmmm...

i dont understand wat the problem is, the rb26 is a fine engine, why shouldnt it be going into cars like corvette? I was once a member of corvette fourms (still am but whore more on SAU :))

And many of the owners where into turbo charging there v8 :drooling: or putting smaller engine e.g v6 with turbos already on them into the corvette to make sure amounts of power

nissan japan still makes old nissan motors, the N1 being a special order thing. Let em use as many engines as they want, as long as they don't get any shells over there so they can rice em up like a farken christmas tree and sticker it like a 5 yr old's lunchbox... only to give civic drivers hardons for round tail lights which they graft into their POS cars with epoxy glue and craft scissors. God forbid that... oh wait they alreay made fast n the furriest din they?

Engine swaps are cool... corvettes are cool... corvette + RB26 = hardon

supercharging a GTR is pretty wierd, when you can add NOS for just as much if you're worried about low end forced induction and higer RPM spool turbos.

Corvette + RB26DETT = Brilliant engine hooked up to a live rear axle with leaf springs 'n 4-speed auto...

Heheh, the older Vettes anyway. Japan + US = Ghey, IMO.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
