Never seen an auto RB26 with the potential exception of the Autech four door R33 RB26DE car. No tiptronic.Boost Tacoma wrote:I came across some cites that said there's an automatic trans for the rb26 and they came in either a 5 speed or 4 speed tiptronic automatic transmission.
i would have to say its hard if you dont know what your doing. or ask people who did engine swaps.Boost Tacoma wrote:Another question, how viable is it to get a rb26dett,25,20 to pass emissions in California? Is is really hard to pass?
Gold Digger wrote:20s and 25s yes, there are definately auto transmissions. As for the RB26, I can't say 100%, but from my experience, I have never seen an Auto 26 with my own eyes.
The only Stagea that came with the RB26 was the 260RS Autech verstion, and wouldn't you know, it was a 5 speed.Rare_f8 wrote:I know the a lot Stagea's has automatic transmission.
Yes.. they are with RB26s
I believe the latest RB motored had 4-speed tiptronic, any older would be just the 4 speed.

Na, I never freshened up on my japanese either. Stagea is not in my line of car to drool about. However I would buy a local 260RS any day.Gold Digger wrote:wouldn't you know, it was a 5 speed.

He's just trying to get the motor to pass emissions... the only way I can think is to modify the a/f and run alcohol for the test.Klits562 wrote:theres no way in hell that a skyline will pass emissions in california.
As soon as you tell them what car it is you will fail.
the skyline wasnt built for california let alone america
unless you did some massive work to get it to comply with all the DoT regulations and got it federally registered which i doubt it cause you would already know all this.

But you wont get that far, when they pop your hood they will know its a motor that's completely illegal to have in a street car and will fail you then and there.
Cali is stupid strict on motor swaps. Good luck trying to pass a skyline motor.
