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

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

Hope that helps :burnout:

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

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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
