RB26/30 Into R33 s2

Gidday guys. 

I have search all over the shop but need to now just ask the question. 

Back story

I have an r33 with a rb25det in it but want to upgrade to the RB26/30 I have. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get in and running. Like what sensors do I need to add to the 30 block. Will my wiring harness from the 25 wire straight up or if not what do I need to do. 

I had a mechanic and everything to fit it for me but yeah he's a tool because i found out that he want a heap more coin to do it. 

He says I need to get a vl RB30 and a RB26 wiring harness and then graft together then graft that into my r33 rb25 harness. Also he has to make custom engine mounts. Also i need to get a gearbox from a vl because the 25 one won't fit and they don't make adapter plates. 

The list goes on. 

So can you guys and gals please set me straight. 

Thanks All who help.

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
