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!

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
