The RB26DETT wont go behind the auto box...

 

But it will go in front of it :D

 

Your main problem would be the electronic control of the auto...  I doubt the RB26DETT ECU sends the correct signals to the auto ECU

Just so I can be a smartarse like you...

Depends on which way you are looking at the car :)

BTW, if your running an aftermarket ecu (as Id guess you would be going for a drag set up) then is the ECU really going to be sending messages to the gearbox? And would you not be going for a nice big built box with a big stall etc???

Hahah well I consider the front of my car to be umm.... the front... You know... the bit... that you sit... behind... :confused:

Yeah I was asuming he was talking about a standard 33 auto box... If he's talking Powerglide, et al, disregard my electronic control comments... And add in bellhousing / crossmember comments...

Keep an eye on Zoom magazine, they are doing a 4 door R33 with Auto RB26.

would you mind helping a fellow out and post the email address or contact info for ZOOM magazine. We don't get this rag where I live, and would like to contact them to see if I can buy a full subscription up front, and pay the extra to send them to me....

Thank you for any help with this... :(

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
