hey guys.

I was just wondering what would be needed to do the conversion to rb26 as im looking into doing it after the new year.

- is the gear box connection the same?

- engine mounting/connection are the same as rb25?

- what will be done with the drive shafts if the rb26?

and how much would this conversion cost if i was to do it my self?

Thanks in advance :)

:)

Doing it yourself... no more than 6k tops if you do it yourself as you say

it would be far from 10k.

Then you sell your old motor/loom you rip out

All you need is the Complete Motor with loom & ECU.

And you'll need a set of dump pipes (if you dont get em) and then just match to your existing exhaust

You could certainly get it done for less than 6k without a doubt if you sell your old motor too

Just change all the belts and stuff before you put it in.

The gearbox you have in your R33 will be fine, so driveshafts and stuff certainly dont need changing. Engine i beleive bolts up to exisiting mounts. The Joy of Nissan RB's, pretty much interchangeable

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
