Hey fellas,

Just recently joined on this, and I need a bit of input.

At this very point I am getting a rb26 built to slap in my 2005 v35. Has anyone on here undergone this ? Please educate me if so. On what I may face during this swap over, and what I can do to eliminate any hiccups.

 

thank you in advance

Google it. There's a few builds around, mostly from early 2000's when V35/G35 was newer.

Everyone seems to completely agree it's a waste of time and money.

What would the car be used for? Would you be doing all the work yourself?

Well you can turbo the original engine. But compression on it is always different to get it up and running you’re looking at about 8 plus thousand. So I don’t get the idea of being cheaper! 

 

The RB 26/30 doing all the internals on the bottom end, custom plenum on the head.

fabricating new engine mounts 

Slight fabs for the gear box 

computer/tune 

12g 

With the work that’s getting done I’m looking about 400kw on the rear.

trust me guys not much more expensive then turbo charging the vq35dett engine

@Leroy Peterson as I stated in my initial post, has anyone undergone this process to there v35. I am just starting this process now. I never asked for help just wanted to know if anyone on here has done it.  

My Brother and I, are doing it.

More sense would be to swap in VQ37HR + boost.

well if you going to make such an effort. Why not a VK45DE.

Well, now we're talking about choosing between a much more modern all alloy V6 that is more likely to fit into the engine bay, or a vintage all iron low performance V8 that is likely to be too long, too heavy, too wide.......

You can't be serious. Annihilate all. Watch old yes and no.https://youtu.be/dE76eJjVIac.
To be honest V35 wheelbase platform has far far greater capabilities and stability than any Rb26 could ever offer

They are all alloy engine, that produce 254kw as base. Nismo racing in Super Gt series opt for this motor over the Nissan Gtr VR38DETT.....OH YES YOU CAN MAKE IT FIT.

There has been some with VK56DE (at least in a 350Z), but it is very tight fit and no space left for turbo charging.

I suspect you could extra better performance with a boosted VQ37 than an NA VK, as well as being easier to fit.

Yeah I just thought the original idea wouldn't be worth doing. So just through in the idea of VK45DE

Sorry, was thinking VH with the iron block thingo.  But nevertheless, 254kW from 4.5L is not strong.  VQ37VHR makes essentially the same stick from just over 80% of the capacity.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • 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
