yea greg had that black S13 with the RB26.

As for budget, i'd allow atleast $10000, ATLEAST.

The labour will probably kill you on it, best case scenario, you'll be looking at around $80/hour, engine - $6000?

I think it'd be atleast (never talked to anyone about doing it) 6 hours labour or something, then the wiring/auto electrician, parts fabrication, engineering (i payed $770 for the certificate and inspection, ended up paying around $1200 all up including certificate, inspection, and mods). So save your pennies and don't really consider it untill you have more than 10g's up your sleeve.

this sound about right to you lot?

yes it would be fun.

i had a dr30 with a 26=t04. i got over it pretty quick. it just fryed evrywhere. it was good for scaring people on the freeway going past them at 130 with smoke pissing of the tyres :)

but you couldent race any one under 100kph due to traction problems!!

i raced it at eastern creek and on the way home i got tboned by a magna and wrote it of. the insurance company gave me a good payout with me keeping the wreck so i got a 32gtr from japan insted. no more traction probs :)

I thought Greg put that worked RB26 out of his S13 into his R32 GT-R.

im not 100% but was under the impression he sold the rb26 s13 (i guess he could have taken the 26 out b4 though) dunno but hes gonna have a nice s15 shortly :)

but yeh hes aight for the rb conversions

you will hear loads of stories on what it will cost, traction problems, weight distribution probs etc etc etc its all BS, you just need to set it up properly. My girlfriends RB26 S14 made 360rwkw and had more traction than when it had the 175rwkw SR20 in it :P:D

Depending on what level of build you were looking at i would has it at a guess that using stuff like GTR stock radiator and FMIC you would be looking at about $20k. Of course this will change if you plan on running a twin plate clutch etc

You could also use the 4WD running gear if you had the cash :D but that would blow the budget right out of the water unless you just hack it to make it fit

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
