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 know you said no amps in the boot, but there's enough space next to the battery for a pair of modern small foot print amps OR one small 6x channel amp. This is what I did over 6 years ago, used 2x marine amps (no decent 6x or 5x channel amps back then)

      Pressure delta gauge is pure pron. No guessing, no excuses.

      That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.

      There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.
