[krayton]

ebay auction has it up. said the shop converted it too rwd.

anyone have a rb26 transmission? u can have my rb25

[Nismochick240]

hey i didn't think you could use the rb26 transmission... what i thought was that you can buy the 26 motor but you have to use the rb25 transmission... (which will be direct bolt-on) since ebay is selling it buy the rb26 w/ transmission... sell the transmission (prolly be worth more than the rb25) and use the rb25 transmission w/ the 26 motor....

[krayton]

most of us knew it could be used. but not a lot of people are up for the challenge.

we went over it a long time ago, that you could just cut the transfer case off and weld a plate to it. no one really wants to take up the challenge.

...except for me. so please send all rb26 trannies this way

sorry, not just the transmission. also a 700hp engine

Looks like they brazed a cover to the transmission case hole where they cut off the fwd output section. Cheap, IMO. Should've had it welded or at least used an aluminum braze.

Personally, I'd have used JB weld, but then I'm too cheap to buy an RB26 anyway

the rb26 transmission is worth probably less than what shipping costs in the US. its a strong transmission but no one wants to do the work to convert it/make it fit.

if that car was running like it does on paper, i doubt it would be in clip form like you see it now.

[RB26-S13]

The 26 transmission IS worth a lot less than the 25, simply because of lack of demand for them here.

I went through this dilemna with my RB26 engine and transmission, tryin to get someone to buy the transmission so I could turn around and buy an RB25... I ended up trading it for a PowerFC and the FC commander to a dude in NoVa with a 32 GT-R, good friend of mine now.

but if this dude wants to get rid of that transmission, for an AWD Rb26 ... I'd think about bitin on that one. The 6-speed.... + RB26 gears... but its RWD? sign me up!

That whole discreption of the motor and trans smells real bad.... for one, how do you put a extra gear in a 5 spd trans? (its not the 6 spd box BTW)

Also, he said it twice in capital letters " I WAS TOLD " about the parts that were used in the build. To me, all I see is a, prolly a R32, clip that is no different than most, except for the few extras you can see with your own eyes, like the fuel rail, turbo/header, oil cooler, I.C, fuel pumps, and a tach thrown up on the dash for looks.... that ain't worth no $12,000.....

like i said, if it was running good, it wouldnt have gotten turned into a clip and sold in one piece

Yea I got one but its in my 240 . Theres some work involved in getting it in there. I wounder how well the rb25 would bolt up to the rb26 trans bell housing. The rb26 pan has bolts that go to the trans bell housing... Probably would be missing some bolts down there.

[240z4u]

I actually have an rb26dett transmission sitting in my garage. I took the bellhousing off of it though and swapped it onto a z31 transmission. Internals are stupid clean, I wish I could have used that trans!

Krayton, if you need it or want it email me at [email protected]. Ill be out of town for two days. Ill email when I get back if your game.
