Im 19 and on my p plates in queensland which means i cant drive the gtr, but i want to buy one and do an engine conversion, rb20/25/30, can run a turbo if its under 125kw/tonne. Which engine will fit straight onto the 26's gearbox (changing bellhousing perhaps) or if i have to change it to rwd then what engine and gearbox combo will fit in easily, as in no need to do any mounting mods?

its worth mentioning i want to put the 26tt back into the car when i hit my opens..

any help would be appreciated.

suggest you get a cheap ass non turbo car(or low powered turbo car) till you get off your p plates, what you are contemplating can be done but its going to cost you and potentially mess up a nice GTR

all rb's bolt to rb box's but it isn't as simple as swapping motors - there's front diff and transfer case and front driveshafts to consider, then there is attessa system and so forth

in the real world its not something anyone would bother doing, your really wasting your time.

buy an n/a, learn how to drive, crash it (we all do) then buy a GTR.

good luck

at this stage, i think ill buy a gts4 r32, only low powered, can learn to deal wih boost and driving an awd car, pray to god i dont crash it and then maybe just find a rb26 and convert it, or just spend the money on a gtr, but to me, i dont see the extra worth in buying a gtr over the gts seeing as it gives you attesa anyway...

Always loved skylines but only just learning the modification side, sorry if i sound like a noob.

Your idea is not legal.

GTR skylines, regardless of series are on the restricted list (yes, even the new list). You cannot drive one regardless of what engine is in it, because they go by factory figures for power and use the VIN for the engine that's supposed to be in it. So changing the engine won't do anything in the eyes of the law.

Buy a non-turbo and non-import to drive as a daily and buy a turbo project to work on. Even if you get an import you can legally drive on your Provisional license, the scrutiny you would face from the boys in blue would make it extremely hard not to accumulate more than four demerit points and lose your license.

We need to make a commitment that the next time this thread pops up we WILL go with it, yes, absolutely you can do, we all did it ourselves before we had our opens. The stock ecu works, just plug it in, the swap can be done in a weekend with a couple of mates etc... Just once, you know it will be worth it

I dont mean to be a bad influence. but is this stupid rule that heavily enforced?

I mean is a cop going to know how much kw an engine is outputing?. I live in nsw (soon to be moving to QLD) and there are so many p platers driving sti's and gtrs its not even funny.

I saw one cop behind a p plater driving an evo and he didn't give a f**k.

I don't get it.

i'm in.

but tell them that you just use the rb26 ecu with the rb25 wiring harness with a rb20 engine.

seems pretty dumb in my eyes that people would willingly tell people it will work when it wont, the questions on this forum are asked because the person has a lack of knowledge, so instead of being a bit of a "keyboard warrior" why not be mature about it and let them know the truth...

was it a genuine evo, or just another lancer with a bodykit?

and regardless of whether the cops will pull you over, there's a good chance your insurance company will use it as an excuse to get out of paying should you have a crash

Nope full evo mr

turbo whistle and BOV right infront of the cop. not a f**k was given that day lol

Did I mention that with above mod makes it NA, therefore, totes legal.

Totes to the totes

Because people like you don't search

I would listen zebra, heard he has a short fuse, and gets heaps keyboard warrior like.

But seriously, dont listen to these haters, just go and do it and prove them all wrong

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
