Thats right , my R33 4 auto 4 door now totes an RB26dett :flamed:

Its been a long 12 months since the demise of the 1st 25 , with only a brief (4000 kms ) stint with a forgied 25 ( this is a long , costly & painfull story that I will leave to my Lawyers!) all of which lead me to , with a little help from that zoom article , putting an Rb26 into the 4 door.

Basicly , I was able to fit the 26 into the 25's hole by using the 25 engine mounts & just turning the drivers side 1 around 180 degrees.Then shorten the throttle cable , add a GTR radiator top hose & ta da!

I have retained to 25s engine loom so I can keep the Wolf ecu that alows me to run the auto , we just had to change the injector plugs to Bosch ones & change the function of the 25s VVT switch to now be the air temp sensor :)

Although , with the help of Wolf tech support , I am able to use the 26 Cam Angle sensor & change the way the map reads to Ref & Sync. (instead of the modified 25 cas , used for dual point sensing) which has made Cold starts much more reliable.

The 26 is out of an R33 GTR with 51 000ks on it , stock internals & injectors , & the only mods are GReddy adjustable cam gears.

The GTR turbs were rebuilt using T28 (SR20) zorst wheels & housings because they are Steel , & much bigger!

The auto remains stock ( bigger trans cooler coming) but using Redline Racing ATF

which has practically removed any "slip" on the now quite abrubt Gear changes :aroused:

The end result..........376.9rwhp with boost spikes to 20psi before settling to 18psi

& I am bloody happy with that!

The real test will be Drag combat on the 23rd of April so...fingers crossed no :Bang:

Thanks heaps To George & Sean from Adrenaline ( experience counts)

Well done Rep and good to see you using the local boys down there.

I know that Peter Blight has nothing but good things to say about George and his patience with getting it right.

Ohh and Maytech, who who get a lot more business if he realised most peoples working days are 8 till 5 , not 5 till 2 in the morning . lol :)

Dare I ask who the lawyer involves or is it probably someone I already know? :)

Cheers

nice man. Do u mind if i ask wat sort of figures this conversion cost?? I've been thinking about what i'd do if my engine cooked and just wanna know if its a viable option.

Congrats on the figures dude, bet you're stoked!!

I'm trying hard NOT to think about it dude ....

But I think 10k would cover it for a straight engine change ( including the engine that is)

It starts to add up when you go for Modded turbs , Split gate dumps Custom Intakes etc...trust me

Cheers

Yeah nice work troy and good to see it all up and running nicely. It was a nice job Sean and george did on the blue rocket.

So the million dollar question what your guess on ET and MPH for DC.

Plus it will be good to have a couple of the buno boys at DC.

Thanx Pete ,

As for ET & MPH , I'd settle for 12.5 @ 115..... as long as its better than my last run :) (except this is in street trim = No Nos)

I'm not sure quite how bad I want to beat up on it , but lets face it , by the end of the day I'll probably be Stalling it up against the handbrake!!!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
