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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
