26 cams are the only thing you may consider swapping. Even then I personally wouldn't do it.

Nothing else from a standard 26 would give any performance benefit really as gtsboy said. Maybe 26 cam covers is you are having blowby issues.

or to put it another way, the RB20 has limitations so enjoy it for what it is. When finished swap out/trade up to an RB25/26 which also have limitations but you will find it much harder and heaps more fun to explore them.

As above. I found my mates RB20 powered R32 to be pretty fun because of the way it delivered the power. It had a different turbo, I don't think he ever found out what it was or I don't remember what it was, but wasn't much more powerful then stock.

Build a 25 or 26 etc on the side with everything you want on it, drive the RB20 in the meantime. Pull it off the road, swap engine, and away you go again. Less time off the road, and less time mucking around with the RB20 by trying to throw RB26 parts on it lol

Like can I take stock rb26 exhaust manifolds and make my rb20 twin turbo?

If you feel like wasting money modifying it to fit then yes as the bolt orientation is different at Cyl 3 and 4 or so

And good luck spooling up 2x dinosaur turbos with a RB20 :)

Lol I wouldn't want to make it twin turbo. I really just don't know much aboot the RB motors.

If I can get a Rb25 or 26 I might just do a swap but in the mean time I do plan on making some changes. My GTS-T is bone stock at the moment.

Spend ALL your money on suspension and brakes.

^ Agreed.

First up give the car a full service. So change ALL oils/fluids from motor to diff.

Then do suspension/brakes/tyres and get a basic tune at some point, big more boost/power and have fun.

Then save up and do a RB25 motor/gearbox swap later on when funding allows (7k conversion minimum as you would change the turbo at the same time)

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
