Hello all. My name is Konstantin my friends call me Kon. I drive a 86 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 N/A. For the record I live in Houston, Texas so Skylines are not around and noone truly knows anything about them so thats why I'm here. I talked with a man who said he could install a RB26DETT in my 300ZX. I'm really happy with my decision to go with this motor because I know its great quality and performs very well. I just want to say hello and I hope to learn alot from you guys.

Hello all.  My name is Konstantin my friends call me Kon.  I drive a 86 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 N/A.  For the record I live in Houston, Texas so Skylines are not around and noone truly knows anything about them so thats why I'm here.  I talked with a man who said he could install a RB26DETT in my 300ZX. I'm really happy with my decision to go with this motor because I know its great quality and performs very well.  I just want to say hello and I hope to learn alot from you guys.

Just try and get yourself a healthy motor with compression ratio's close to stock.

Thats my tip.

Welcome!

Petar.

ah dude 20,000kms is very low

20,000kms i am sure someone will correct me as i am dodgy with my ratios but like 12,500 miles

also the only thing you have to keep in mind is parts are going to be bloody hard to find quickly going off that fact that no one has one over their. But if you do get it going in to the 300 it will be one hell of a beast

Hey Kon, Welcome dude. An FYI.

We have a recently imported Silver 300ZX at the local garage registering 540 rwkwz on the Dyno sheet. Have not had a ride in it Yet!, but apparently scarey fast according to those who have!

Also a nice Purple and lightening bolt paint job on the RB26DETT motor/engine bay.

I've seen just such a conversion in a 300ZX,and it rocked! RB26DETT? Nissan's finest,I'd say! That motor,with such low kilometers on it,will be a GOOD thing! Post some photo's while you're building or when it's done!

I have a 93 Toyota Camry as my DD so thats nto a huge problem, its still a problem but def. one im willing to deal with to have this motor. Also I thought KM was half as much as miles. But then again 55MPH is like 90km/h. I'm not very good at this kind of stuff.

Another question jsut out of curiosity(sp?). Will the Master cylinder from a Skyline fit on the Z or will i have to use a 300ZX master cylinder or custom?

Miles to Kilometers multiply 1.609

Kilometers to Miles multiply 0.621

um ahh '86 300zx? so is that a Z31? you'd be better off finding yourself a nice clean 200zr (yes ZR, the Z31 that came with a stock RB20DET) and then transplanting an RB26DETT engine into it. Both ate topfeed engines, so the transplant should be relatively easier than into a v6 zed.

If you must go down the v6 -> straight 6 conversion path, then you'd be wise to source parts such as engine mounts etc from a 200ZR, once I get back to the office, I'll scan up a jap artice on a 200ZR with an RB26DETT... nice as... and fast like hell's fury.

      Welshys 32ZILA and the 8HP.

      By welshy_32ZILA · Posted

      Near 12mths since the last update apologies.  Car is back running and driving.  Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success.  Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft.  I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential.  Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me.  Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.

      I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well.

      Asking where to source parts

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers,

      V35 Skyline possible engine swaps?

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.

      Oh sorry Justin! I was racking my brain trying to remember names, not sure why I associated “Adam” with 7tune! I’m good, been away from Skylines for over a decade, got family and kids now. Just getting back into owning a 32 but it’s a whole different world now… tax is higher and tech is better.
