Hello everyone. My friend's shop is getting ready to pull the old broken RB26 from my R32 and swap in a new Nismo RB26. Now, the RB I got is R34-spec rather than R32 spec so I know some changes will need to be made. We already know about swapping the front diff but had a couple of other questions I was hoping someone could help with.

1) What's needed to make the harness compatible with the R34 cam angle sensor? I have a new R34 CAS already but I was wondering if the plug on the car just needs a repin or a new plug needs to be wired in.

2) I'll probably be getting an Apexi Power FC to handle the ECU side. Do I assume correctly I need to get the R34 PowerFC and not the R32 version? I haven't dealt with an aftermarket ECU system before on a car (just reflashes) so does the R32 ECU stay with the car or can it be disconnected and binned if I use a PowerFC? Any suggestions on other ECU setups to consider as an alternative?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I already read that post before and unfortunately it didn't answer the specific questions I posted. It mentions a "wiring mod" to fit the R34 CAS but doesn't describe what that mod is. It also mentions you need either an R34 ECU or a PowerFC but it doesn't say whether you need to keep the original R32 ECU wired in if you run a PowerFC.

You need to reverse the pins, so basically swap 1 with 4 and 2 with 3.

As for the PFC just use which ever one matches your loom so I would assume you are running a 32 GTR engine loom.
Also run you R32 coils and ignitor to save rewiring the coil loom.

Thanks for confirming that just a repin is needed for the CAS. Makes sense I would need a 32 PFC with my 32 harness - I wasn't sure if the motor dictated the choice but in retrospect I should have thought the ECU and harness would matter more.

As for the ignitor mine was shot so we ended up binning it already and converting to an R34 setup anyway so that should all be good. Thanks for the help!

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
