hey guys i got a rb26 in my VL atm which i want to put into a r33 gts-t (4 door maybe) and i am gonna use the rb26 engine, rb25 box, 044 fuel pump, gtr cooler, autronics ecu, etc.

so i need some answers...

can i still run the climate control with the rb26 installed and autronics ecu???

tailshaft from the gts-t will fit perfectly won't it???

will a GTR throttle cable fit perfectly???

will the 044 fuel pump be simple to install???? (its an external one is that ok???)

will the rb25 power steering pump bolt str8 onto the rb26????

will the rb25 air con bolt str8 onto the rb26 or can i use the rb26 one if it doesnt fit???

anymore little things i need to know???

hopefully someone can help before i start the conversion so i know exactly whats to be done and the hassles involved

thanks alot guys

Yes

Yes

R33 GTR, yes
will the 044 fuel pump be simple to install???? (its an external one is that ok???)
You can use an 044 in tank, a bit tricky to fit in the brackets, but works fine. You can run it external, in series with the standard pump if you want. Either way you will need a relay, the standard wiring harness won't handle the extra current.

Yes
will the rb25 air con bolt str8 onto the rb26 or can i use the rb26 one if it doesnt fit???
Yes

What are you doing about the wiring harness for the Autronic?

Hope that helps :burnout:

hey sydneykid cheers for the help mate, well i got the harness from the vl engine bay for the autronics so i just run the wiring through firewall and plug into autronics ecu, and connect power, earth, etc

will the rb25 air con bolt str8 onto the rb26 or can i use the rb26 one if it doesnt fit???  

Yes

Yes to which one???

also how do i go about connecting the relay for the external 044 pump??? which wires do i need, and what do i need ?

cheers again

Hi Brad, the answer to both is "Yes", it doesn't matter they are the same. If you don't know how to connect a relay, I suggest a trip to your local auto electrician.

If you are game, a relay has 4 connections. The "input" to turn it on, the "earth" to well earth it, the "supply" from the battery, the "output" to the pump. The "input" is connected to the + wire that goes to the standard pump.

The "earth" is connected to the chassis.

The "supply" is connected to the + on the battery.

The "output" is connected to + on the pump

The - on the pump is connect to the chasis.

When you buy a relay they come wiht simple woring diagrams to tell you which terminal is "input", which is "output" etc.

Hope that helps some more

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
