Guest MickieB Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Stony' date=' I have a question for you which i hope you can answer. I am about to begin the same swap as you in my 75 260z. Mine is a 2+2, and therefore has a longer wheelbase and I guess driveshaft as well. You mentioned in your initial posting that for optimal handling, I'd need to move the engine back and down, and shorten the driveshaft (in a 2 seater). I'm still at the research stage at this point and I'm just wondering if you or anyone else out there has any idea how this particular configuration would work in a 2+2?[/quote'] I'm going to be doing this in not too long, a matter of weeks. Once i've done it, or attempted it, i'll post info on the differences with doing it in a 2+2, and some photos of how it was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest forbanger Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 how do you use the all wheel drive trans in a rear wheel drive application? thanks, jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsquared Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 most RB26s I've seen into RWD chassis have used the RB25 transmission... which is almost the same as the Z32 trans, but I'm not sure if it's just a bellhousing swap (like KA/SR transmissions) or if there's more to it than that...

NismoZ33 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Guys, can someone post some detailed info on the custom driveshaft? Dimensions, mounting adapters, anything???? I heard the Skylines use a two piece driveshaft and you can use the front half and it fits perfectly for the RB26DETT into a 260Z so I would assume it would be the same for the 240z and 280Z....can anyone confirm this? Please help:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 mine was a 260, i used a r33 5 speed (RWD) and the front half of the driveshaft that was attached to that tranny. I believe that teh 240 and 280 z should all be pretty close. you only need the diff flange that came with the driveshaft you aquire. the tranny mount is going to be custom. No way around that. all the part numbers you need to know are in this forum just have to spend some time looking arpound and using the search. thanks Clint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MikeB7283 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hey Stony, Hate to ask another question, but would you recommend getting an R33 RWD tranny over the AWD tranny and disabling the AWD? I'm thinking of swapping an RB26 into my 82 280ZXT. I'm kinda new to this whole thing, but another question is did you have to adjust the position of the gear box at all when doing your swap? I'm not sure but I read about some people saying that they'd have to shift from the back seat if they installed the AWD tranny in other cars.. Not sure about how it fits in a 280ZX...u did say that it fits "perfectly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Do not go with the AWD tranny unlees you plan on cutting a big hole in the floor to accomadate the transfer case. the shifter is in the same position i believe as the r33 gtst 5 speed. If getting a gtst 5 speed is an issue Castlemine rod shop in austrailia makes an adate to fit just about any stateside tranny you can think of. google castlemine rod shop fro the URL.

Guest MikeB7283 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 thx for the info! Isn't the gtst the tranny u used? or did I read incorrectly? I want whatever works well and easiest to put in. I didn't know I needed to do anything special transmission wise =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXRockie Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 thx for the info! Isn't the gtst the tranny u used? or did I read incorrectly? I want whatever works well and easiest to put in. I didn't know I needed to do anything special transmission wise =/ THE GT-S rb25det Tranny is just what you need. the tranny bolts right into any of the rb motors they are all the same(matching wise).the tranny mount maybe the only custom work that should be done.

Guest mrt0mjones Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 so what all is COMPLETELY necessary to put the rb26 in??? and how bad is the handling with awd... on the 280z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 yea...more info in the AWD rb26... that would be awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenmaster Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 who said they were doing AWD? I must have missed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I only know of one person in the states attemping the AWD setup. Really no info as of now on what its gonna take. I can tell you it will take alot of time and fabrication to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'm gonna sounds REALLY stupid, but I just thought of it and kinda laughed at myself. Anyone ever though about putting a RB26 motor in a Z in a rear engine AWD setup? I don't know how well it would fit in a S30, but in a 280ZX 2+2 it might fit, and it's a bit lighter of a car still than the skyline. I'm loosing my mind everyone. Someone stop me before I weld a rocket to the top of my car and leave my imprint in the side of a mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Just a thought on which engine to go with. I've been surfing the net looking to get an idea of what it would cost for all the parts I need, and I've come to a realization. You can get a 25DET & Trans for about $3K, and a RB26DETT engine for $3.5K plus $1.2K for the GTS Trans. That's about $1.7K more than the 25DET. If you get the RB25DET you need to spend about $900 for the Greddy intake and Q45TB right off the bat, and it seems that the HiPo parts available are almost twice the cost of an RB26DETT. It seems to me that the cost difference between the 2, ends up being only a few hundred dollars if you get cams, and such. Am I way off on this?

Also my full RB25DET motorset cost me 2000, so you would be good if you found a full one for 2500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my full RB25DET motorset cost me 2000, so you would be good if you found a full one for 2500. I'm looking for between 350-400Hp to start. (Tight budget) Put as I tweak out the car, and I have the money to spend I will start to up that number. When I'm done I want around 550-600Hp, but who knows I may want more. I know the the RB25 block could handle that power, but that's at it's limits. And I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of have to rebuild this motor because it couldn't take the power. Also the RB26 Lets itself easier to get more power than the RB25. And from what I've seen it's cheaper to get 600Hp out of the RB26 plus it will be more reliable while doing it. Just my thoughts based on the information that I've read so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
