i just recently bought a RB26DETT off ebay for about 2000 USD. the motor came with ecu, 5speed rb25det rwd tranny with clutch, intercooler, r33 intercooler piping and front gtr LSD. the motor only has about 40k miles on it, and shipping was about 200 USD. there are three or five more rb26detts i saw yesterday, nicely priced on ebay.
I was wondering if i have to put this motor in a 240sx? as i don't personally own one, yet. if anybody has put this motor in another car, any info is needed.

I really feel sorry for you guys in the States.... no Skylines.... tsk tsk tsk....I live in Australia and believe me, these beasts are absolutely everywhere.
Skylines.... Im not gonna start arguing about which Skyline is which, but just to give u an example what the bloody things are capable of, I own n drive a 1997 series II R33 GTST (heaps better looking front end), I didnt get the GTR because I didnt want the heavy AWD as the GTST is RWD (DRIFT !!). I got bored with the factory RB25DET pretty quickly, so after about 12 months, I ripped out the RB25DET and with a little playing around, jammed in a RB26DETT from a 2001 R34 front-cut - all RB motors use the same block only the stroke is different. I had to rip out the front differential from the RB26 and use the RB25DET's sump as the sump & front diff is one intergrated unit for the AWD in the GTR. The RB26DETT bolts straight up to the GTST's 5 speed - basically a GTR box minus the transfer case for (once again) the AWD. These things come from the factory with gearboxes and diffs that can easily handle up to n over 700+ hp.
After about 2 months with the stock RB26DETT, I invested in a HKS turbo kit (single turbo conversion instead of the factory twin turbos)rated at 800hp, along with a 65mm external waste gate, ported + polished head, forged pistons n billet rods, Greddy E-manage ecu, remote oil cooler and a huge front-mount. At this stage, I had it dynoed at 250rwkw running only 14psi ! Fun lasted about 2 days before the clutch exploded. So I ended up getting a custom twin-plate clutch installed along with new fuel pump(s) and 800cc HKS injectors, threw it back on the dyno and achieved the 320+ rwkw @ 22psi ! I've been driving to work (daily driver) with it at this state of tune for the last 7 months and the only problem I have is my tyres dont last me too long at all, mind you, my rears are 275mm wide and I have absolutely no traction in the first 3 gears if n when I give it a boot. Oh yeah, my number plates - YUL 05T (Why You Lost)
And you know what guys? all this cost me around $50k AUST - no more then the price of a G35 ! And I bet my R33 would EAT any G35 or 350Zs for the same money anyone would dare throw at it.
Yeah, Skyline are great cars, easy to work on, parts are inter-changeable and very very easy to get good realible horsepower out of the motors.
As with 200SX's, my mates putting a RB26DETT into his jap-spec S15 so that's gonna be fun ! Anyways, Good luck wishing cause I still feel sorry for you guys in the US of A..... no skylines.... HA HA HA.

We have the G35 which is a Skyline in Japan so that would make it a subpar Skyline. Now the real deal skylines like R-33 and R34 yeah we are screwed. why are repilcas so expensive?! |

Kitcarguy, It depends on what state in the US you are in, but I know it is possible to import a Skyline into the US, but how much crap do u have to go thru to get one? then you have to go thru the hassles of a right-to-left hand drive conversion because you guys drive on the wrong side of the road... after that, you would have to bend over backwards to try to convince the law to let u have it on public roads, so yeah.
Now, when half of the guys here speaks of a Skyline, they are referring to a G35, well, the G35 comes out from the factory with a 3.5 litre VQ35DE V6 motor which is the identical power plant found in the 350Z. My opinion is that the G35 isnt a true 'Skyline', it's just a glorified Z-car !
A real 'Skyline' has one of the best hi-tech power plant that's ever come out of Japan - the RB26DETT (or even the RB25DET).
NOW KITCARGUY, as to your comment of Skyline's being overrated, I fully agree with you, but I dont think you have anything to support your claim besides maybe jealosy. Well, I bloody do. Im getting horsepower figures in my RB26DETT that would normally cost four or five times what I spent if it was to be achieved in a pushrod V8, if at all. Believe me, I tried, my last car was a 2002 Holden Monaro (Pontiac GTO in the USA) and I sold it to buy and modify my current R33.
So yeah, one main reason to why Skylines are so 'overrated' is not just because they look good or they go hard....It's because it's possible to get huge (cheap) reliable horsepower out of them with relatively few modifications.
So yeah, KITCARGUY, it's better to make comments based on experience rather then generalisation.

Sounds like you do not entirely know what you are talking about. No drive conversion is needed. It can be driven 100% legal as RHD in the States. Also the hassles are not as great as you might think getting one here, or getting it on the road. Lets move on to whats needed. You talked about the G35 being a over glorified Z car. Well I wonder why your RB26DETT can come over to the states and be repaired using 300zx parts. What does that make it? This thread started out as talk about the R33/R34, and not the G35 so maybe you should read the entire thread. Why dont you support your claims with photos and dyno slips. Also lets see what kind of money you put into it. I want to see what you consider HUGE cheap numbers. Lets compare notes. HP and prices. Here is the Current list of all vehicles we are allowed to import into the USA according to the NHTSA http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/ELIG010906.html Here is specificly what they say about the skyline http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/FAQ%20Site/pages/page10.html#Anchor-I.%20Impor-16426 Here is the crash test info JK Technologies had done http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf42/69795_web.pdf
And wow I had to read you post a second time too. Jelousy? Are you serious. I would never own a Skyline, And yes I have had the chance. I could think Of many other cars I would spend the money on.The 98 Mustang Cobra Sitting in my driveway is more then enough.

We may not have the offical Skylines but we have something much greater called the Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper, and Ford GT which are much greater than any Nissian or Toyota created. Skylines are only cool if you mod them otherwise a stock corvette and even a stock mustang would kick its ass. Plus they look much better than any Skyline, hold more value and unlike any jap car out there they have atleast done something at lemans unlike the Skyline which became popular due to the fast and the furious.
Its not like where missing out on anything if anything it sucks you guys can't witness the pure power of an 8second streetlegal Hennssey Viper or perhaps a 0-60time under 2seconds of a lingfeilter Corvette. I may not like the Ford GT but without a doubt in my mind its one of the best looking cars and for the price that the only car that can give you a run for its money is the ******* Enzo and it will blow just about away anything else away. "HaHa no Skylines in the good old USA" That qutie ok we got more exclusive cars than just another Nissian. why are repilcas so expensive?! |

Ok I just couldn't let this go!!
Skylines did not become popular because of The Fast the Furious. It was a long time before that!!
The R32 Skyline GT-R single handedly destroyed group A. It was so successful that no one wanted to race against it. The R34 Skyline has won the N1 class every year at Le mans since it was debuted in 1998. The R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec was the first production car to lap the Nurburgring in under 8 mins.It's a shame you will never experience an AWD launch from an 8 sec street legal GT-R with DOT approved street tyres!!
The Ford GT is nice but a 997 911 Turbo will still run rings around it for half the price. And something to compare the Z06 Corvette, have a look at the Skyline GT-R NISMO Z-tune (Yes it is a Production car!!). Yes they are all great cars in their own right but none are the be all and end all!!! After all they are just another Chev, Dodge or Ford!!

Dave you can hardly call the z-tune "production" there were 20 or so made. also the skyline did not get popular until fast and the furious in the states. You want to know what my only beef with the skyline is, hell its not really the skyline its the fanboys and owners. You know the ones that think even a stock R33/R34 will beat anything on the road. And those same people that say they get big HP from little money, but cant tell you how much it little. I would still never own one. The car does not appeal to me. I thought of getting a front clip for a project. But it was scrapped for something better in my opinion. www.kitcar.ws |

Kitcarguy I agree with you, but you have that kind of thing with all types of cars. People think their turbocharged Honda Civic can beat anything, and Corvettes are the best handling cars in the world.
Just how much money does it take to make a GT-R super fast?? I'll have to talk in Australian dollars, but a AUD$25000 dollar stock R32 GT-R and about AUD$4000 will net you 11 sec flat on the quarter mile. Fit a roll cage, some aftermarket coilovers and go racing. It's a very versatile car. And I was talking about the world popularity of the GT-R. It just seems that any Japanese car enthusiest gets branded a "The fast and the Furious" wannabe and yes many cars got alot more exposure but places like Britain, Australia and of course Japan have already encounted these cars because of the racing aspect
I give full props to the US auto industry, in that you guys have some very fast and good looking cars (I love the new Mustang, they just cost AUD$140,000 here and $230000 for the Shelby GT500) but in reality the US is only just catching up in terms performance, handling, reliabilty and build quality(don't worry Australia is the same) to many other countries. The GT-R is not to everybody's taste and it does look quite bland next to a Z06 Corvette or a Ford GT, but never count it out, because when the factory restrictions are taken off, Godzilla rises!!!Cheers Dave

I dont want to seem like im disagreeing with you but I would need to see proof that a little over 3000USD will get a bone stock skyline to do a 11 second (flat)1/4 mile. What would be needed?www.kitcar.ws |

No Thats fine I have no problem with people asking questions!!
This is what is needed:
removal of the factory boost restrictor
Trust 'Airinx' Twin Filter Kit
Trust MX Front Pipes measuring 75mm x 2 into a single 80mm
3" Cat Convertor followed by a HKS Hiper Cat Back Exhaust
HKS Adjustable Cam Gears
increased boost level to 17.5psi
modify the factory computer to remove the 180kmh speed cut and also have the rev limiter increased to 9,000rpm
240rwkw
11.57 @ 117.89mph (1.71 60ft, ½ track - 7.41 sec / 94mph)
Sorry I did say 11 flat, but I havn't looked at this for a while!!
But it does go to show how easy it is, because the GT-R is a detuned race car, and the fact is that these mods aren't even pushing the engine.Cheers Dave

Now why do they call the Skyline (Godlzilla)? that name clearly belongs to the Viper Hennssey T1000 TT, there is no Skyline out there or atleast that is street legal that could take it on heads up.why are repilcas so expensive?! |
