Hi guys,

Recently I've been thinking, if I buy a Nissan Skyline R34 25GT 2-door coupe in Melbourne, and wanted to upgrade the engine to RB26DETT, I'm sure it's POSSIBLE but I just need some connections and someone who knows how to do it and can actually do it. Money isn't a problem. How should I start? Does anybody know who I should go to and where? Details would be wonderful, please. Thank you.

Cheers,
Rio

Yep. You end up missing out on all the goodies the stock GTR has. Best to buy a GTR straight up or I'd start with a GTt as a base car. Apparenlty there isn't much difference performance wise between an RB25DET NEO and and RB26DETT.

...but if you pick up an RB26 you will need a different oil sump and trans. There is a thread somewhee on these forums where someon has done it.

But too much work and cost IMHO.

      Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
