i'm getting a r32 rb26dett (compression tested 160 all the way through), ecu and loom, used large hybrid intercooler kit. all in very good condition. All installed into my 32 gtst, so all labour included. $7,000 tuned and running. Is this a good deal?? or should i keep looking

I would say its a good deal, BUT, i would like to see some of their work first as it sounds too good to be a decent job!

Its a fairly straight forward swap but there is a bit more than just dropping the engine in the hole!!!! most shops will charge you about $6k for just an engine and box!!

i'm not getting everything in the frontcut though, just engine intercooler, ecu and loom. as far as i know using my transmission, diff and tail shaft.

A mate organised it through a friend at extreme automotive, i think??? i know they are doing the work

I went through RB20 gearboxes with a 180rwkw rb20 180sx. Albiet i did drive it hard sometimes its not hugely powerful. Also had a friend with an rb25 180 which had 250rwkw and an rb20 box, which he went through 2 in a few months. An rb26 would just chew through them and it becomes a pain in the arse getting towed all the time.

don't scare me by saying that, shit.

i want to use mt gearbox cuz i just put an new clutch in. Do you's think it would be a good idea to get the rb26 gearbox as well??????

I would look at having some spare cash laying about just in case it needs rebulding... as yes, the R32 RB26 is prone to some small problems which become rather huge in the end :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
