there are several guys over here who have cut the transfer case off the 4wd gtr transmission and plated up the alloy casing not pretty but functional trick is to find a gtr transmission that hasn't been abused

there may be some examples of RB26's making that horsepower,but there are plenty of examples of ones that failed well before that figure.....spun bearings,cracked blocks,oil pump failures i have yet to hear of an RB30 block failing and spun bearings are not common to my way of thinking the ultimate is the RB30 block with the RB26 head...nissan heaven...look at RIPS efforts as the old saying goes,there is no replacement for displacement....even in turbo form the RB30 will make more torque at lower revs ,and perhaps this is the key to it's longevity,keep it below 7500rpm unless you are investing in an aftermarket harmonic balancer though

obviously the folk at wolf intend charging handsomly for the convenience,you would think they would be happy to sell you a new product without gaffing you for the adapter as well

i've seen guys over here cut off the transfer case(chain driven) and plate it up,not pretty but who sees it anyway the other downside is that behind a gtr there is a good chance it has already been caned before you put it in your car still if you already have one you don't have much to lose

Guys the fittings should be here by monday Those guys that have paid me by then i will post off their parts Tuesday(make sure i have your full address otherwise i won't be able to) On Wed I am away for 3-4 weeks with work so won't be able to send the remaining fittings until i get back....this gives those guys saving up their pennies plenty of time to stuff the piggy bank:wink:

hey joel, do you reckon the turbo will clear the hood on that manifold?

thanks mate any idea what they are worth ballpark?

can't remember where i got this diagram from also i am pretty sure you have to use a 260/280z as the 240z one is not compatible

if it's for an rb26 and you want big HP I would use a Garrett TO4Z with the 0.70A/R turbine housing with a 45+mm gate are you sure the turbo will clear the hood,the manifold looks like it will sit it a little high? nice work on the manifold

wouldn't attempt it without a budget of $50G unless you can do it yourself

They are much thicker where the beam tapers into the big end and there is more material around the bolt holes. If you compare pics of the rb25 and rb26 rods you can clearly see the rb26 rod beams start to taper out wider closer to the little end than the rb25 rods. Using the protrusion on the side of the beams as a reference. The 26 rod has a much beefier lug area around the head of the bolt, which gives greater support to the most significant difference, where the 26 rod starts to taper out toward the rod bolt much higher up the rod length. This is significant because the inertial mass further away from the crank adds up and can cause permanent deformation or complete failure so has been countered by adding more and more material further away from the piston. So instead of more mass all along the rod, it has been added little by little where it is needed most. If a constant size rod were to snap due to inertia from mass toward the free end, it would obviously snap toward the constrained end. In addition the tapering gives significant columnar stability due to compressive forces. All of this adds up making this rod far more capable in terms of high power and high rpm application That is not to say that you won't get away with using an rb25 rod,but for the availability and cheap price of rb26 rods,if doing a rebuild, why wouldn't you throw them in for cheap insurance. Either way,any used factory rods should be fitted with new rod bolts,balanced and shotpeened/linished for the full prep. This is probably the reason most guys simply buy aftermarket rods eg SPOOL....it's not much more expensive and infinately safer. Guess it all boils down to application and budget.....oh and whether you are a gamblin' man(or gal)

Last orders taken tonight as i will be organising them so far here's the list (including those guys who said they wanted one but wouldn't have the money until later....please don't back out) Roostmonkey 2 x -8 fittings WG383 2 plus one crank collar Racinjitter 1 DatsunDave 1 amorfin 2 Careless 1 Jonnyringo 1

MX7 turbo rb30et gearbox,stronger than the skyline turbo transmissions but only single synchro,lots of guys running good 1/4 mile times on slicks with these boxes can include twincam head(rb25det)as well if you want to convert it,or spare single cam head

...so the pics didn't help?

what about this one....later model i know oh yeah and RHD and 2+2 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-300ZX-with-a-RB26DETT-intercooler-turbosmart_W0QQitemZ160280941997QQihZ006QQcategoryZ35227QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

guys i've had one confirmed and paid for order,i need to know who definitely wants the -8 fitting as i am sorting them out on monday please post in this thread 1) how many of what you want 2) when you will pay by if you commit to an order please don't back out down the track as i have no use for multiples of these fittings,i am only trying to help out Hybridz guys with a solution i have discovered for myself

Few snaps for those interested needs the dust blowing off it and a spit'n'polish

what is putting people off? this conversion cost me well over $10,000 and that was not including labour this has everything needed for the conversion,guaranteed to fit and top quality work(even if the bling factor is missing)

Postage looks like US$7.50 (minimum charge for parcel shipping internationally) This will cover up to a couple of fittings or a crank collar for example. It looks like most guys wanted the smaller size fitting so I will get a batch of -8 fittings machined up to start with So if you are interested PM me with your Name Hybridz nickname Address Order

Thinking I might upgrade to the V500 so i can run sequential injection and ignition. Anyone know if I can use the same wiring harness with minor modifications?

$7000 for everything from intercooler to diff.....but that would be an RB30 turbo and you'd have to wait for it to arrive from australia:) that would include delivery to your nearest port a weekend to install it and away you go,all running gear as new

guys initially i will get 10 oil drain fittings machined up in either -8 or -10 so let me know which most of you would prefer and i will do that batch as i said there is no appreciable difference in oil flow at revs through the fitting/hose,there is a little more room when fitting the -8 as it is slightly smaller, however both sizes fit ok for those that inquired about the crank collars,they are designed for the RB26(r32),RB25 and RB30 cranks that have the narrow snout oil pump drive which are renowned for causing oil pump failure if you are using the RB26 pump they come with machining instructions/tolerances for a press fit and countersunk grub screws and are easily fitted to the crank by any competent machine shop they are US$100+post (much cheaper than JUN) and will be the best $100 you will ever spend on an RB.....much cheaper than a new motor:? don't forget your postal addresses paypal probably the easiest method of payment

Aha...yes and yes...

PM me your address and -8/10 as well as how many you want

PM me your address and -8/10 requirements and how many
