Made up my mine the FD is booked in at the end of September (unless the project he is working on now takes longer) and I'm putting in the rb26, yes gonna cost abit but I can't wait and want something different, the 26 is almost all done from its rebuild only waiting one the covers getting painted, and the custom made sump should be here next week, gonna be a long but fun build and can't wait!!

Looks sweet mate, hope yours turns out just as good. It's gonna be a mission to get it done, and I'm guessing you can't register it right? Will still be an awesome car to own and will sound that much better than a rotor when the 'gate cracks :-)

Looking forward to updates, good luck :-)

Awesome pics thanks mate :D makes me get sooo keen for mine!! Sorry about late reply been over at NZ for a week, and yep ive been talking to the engineers and they said it should be fine to register as they mad te rb26 up until 2002, and he said they also class the rotor to have 1.3l each rotor?!? Never Hurd that but yeah so he sai it should be fine it's gonna be my every day driver or I won't do it haha and when we start building I'll be posting a shit load of pics and info

in regards to engine capacity rotors are doubled compared to piston motors so in capacity terms a 13B is 2.6Ltrs.

and i cant wait to see this build start, i have a mate doing a 2JZ in his FD, its off getting a 4 link rear end atm. guna be pretty mental! ive also done a Rb26 conversion into my S15, love it!

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
