hi guys I couldn't find much on the internet so I thought id ask. if I were to get a rb26 from a r32 gtr halfcut could I use the rb20 engine loom and ecu or would I have to change that and if I had to change it would the r32 gtr engine loom plug in to the r32 gtst dash harness. and how would I make the rb26 rwd.

thanks

Is this just a pipe dream?. ;)

No way would you run an rb26 on an rb20 ecu.

As with all conversions wiring is the stumbling block of most people,but at the end of the day can be figured out when you have it all in front of you.

An rb26 is engine, so it's not awd, but it has a diff in the sump which you would have to chop off and weld up or perhaps just leave it there.

As for the gearbox (which one you didn't specify but you would have to be full retard to use the rb20 box) same theme, chop attessa shit off transfer case and weld up hole left behind

Then rip skids all day.

I'm just weighing up my options rb25 swap or go rb26. I Thought the rb26 swap would be simpler because the rb26 would be from a r32 GTR but it seems that nissan changed a lot with the gtst and GTR and I rebuilt this car from ground up and had the rewire it all by myself so I think I could figure it out lol

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
