Hi,

Most will probably say what the f**k are you doing.

but yes, i do want to convert my rb26dett to a 26de.

Reasoning: just finish the build on my 32gtr, and i want to enjoy that. however, i still have a standard rb26 sitting around....along with a standard 72' datsun 240z...so that should clear it up abit more.

I dont ever plan on selling the s30 and im tossing up between keeping it original l24 or going rb. my reasoning towards the rb conversion is that since i dont plan on selling it and keeping the L24. i might as well go all out...

What kind of things would need to be done to convert the standard rb26 to a na screamer. im awayre of the pistons to up the compression. but any thing else?

imagine this...

a RB26DE, with super high comp, with HKS V Cam (optional if you want any low end), stupid duration cams, 6 flutes and a redline at 10k in a 240Z...

brap brap brap brap brap brap

but say if you skimmed the head all the way to a 10:1 surely it wouldn't be "that" bad right?

10k redline N/A ITB would be sick.. and stupid as long duration cams, but of course will need some form of VCT to give it more poke down low.

i would honestly rather keep the Z n/a. and what better engine for it than the rb. i dont really care about the power, my gtr is there for that. Im all down for the screaming high revs bouncing off trees when i go for a drive. i think it would be better if i just na a rb26dett rather than buy a 1 of 200 autech rb26? last i heard they were goin for 6k...IF you can find one. LOL. rb26/30 na would be affordable.. jsut swap over some parts n vwoahlah. (ok maybe not that easy) but within reach. ive been trying to source a autech rb26....not happening.. =\

i pm'd him. hopefully he replies. im hoping to go to his workshop since he is fr sydney, and check out his work. his build showed it got 170rwkw... which isnt much. but from a FR car that weighs 1000kg and an engine that can rev over 9k. mmmmm

Why not RB25DE NEO ?

Why not RB25DE NEO ?

Great option.

It's never going to be a power house like a turbo motor. But this would be a great option. Cheap motor, set it up using headers and ITBs. No need to even open it, besides cams. Enjoy the noise and cruise in a awesome sounding and looking car.

Leave the power to the R.

DO IT

skimmed the head because the 8.5:1 compression will suck donkey cock, bring it to like 9.5:1 or even more if the pistons don't foul the valves.

then mod the intake plenum and install 6 flutes, bring the rev limiter up to 10k (I'm sure it will spin easily to that safely as it's now making 1/2 the power)

then whack on some retarded long duration cams...

brap brap brap brap hahah

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
