after all I took the car to these guys so it should be done really soon http://www.mckinneymotorsports.com/

 

I don't want to sound rude but you gotta get some better vids bro those photobucket vid's suck bad, try to borrow a better cam or something and post that shii on youtube. My cuz lives in Brooklyn he's got a Pro Sony Z1 let him take the shots.


Please

 

so you shipped your maxima to mckinny in Ca ?

why would you do that when all they do is make mounts , you had a wiring issue with the coil packs , sounds like your mechanics in NY dont know crap , theres pleanty of shops in the tri-state that could have that thing running..

something dont added up to me , i dont see why mckinny is involeded...

I can name shops I deal with that would have gotten teh car running close to you

 

last i checked .... he moved to cali....

 

lolwut he moved?

but yeah sounds like the first place doesnt know much

 

damn...I fail'd at my joke...

 

dying to see this car 100%

 

just read all 17 pages....i want to see finished pics

 

ME TOO..............

 

Mckinney makes really good stuff, not cheap tho!

I am rockin their Tranny Crossmember on my 510 and their hockey puck polly motor mounts. Great guys to deal with from my experience.

So did you MOVE the car? or did you move to cali completely?? If you did i need to check this thing out in person! haha

 

The craziest part is that he awd converted the whole car.

 

IIRC its RWD

 

i thought so too... but i was trying to find it in here so i didnt look stupid if it changed lol.

 

Damnit. Just found this thread, read all 17 pages... REALLY want some closure on it! Looks like an impressive build, I want to see if he got all the structural bugs worked out... sounds like he is still messing with engine issues tho.

What say you, man with seemingly endless pocket depth? Seriously, I'd like to know how much this project is setting you back. Probably could've gotten you almost halfway to a pretty new GT-R... But of course this is incredibly unique. I look forward to seeing the finished product for sure!

 

I cant wait to see this in action

 

ok so I am heading out back on the ship so there will be no updates sor a while but if you are CA the the is at mckinny so you can go check it out there. so long story short I am starting all over, to have this done right

 

Damn that suckkkss. Hopefully it works out better this time around. If any anyone goes and checks this out PLEASE take HD photos and COMPLETE HD videos of the car .

 

starting over as in how? lol Diferent car from the ground up???

 

I think all his wiring is messed up and possibly the motor. So he took it to another shop?

 

if it was just a wiring issue , I have ppl down here that would have flown to NY to you and done the job right.

but shipping across country is a bit extreme , theres a few ppl on the east coast that could have tackle this issue.

good luck , McKinney is a awesome place and like always you PAY to PLAY !

 

Guys this car has been in California the whole time.

 

+1. I think confusion arose from the OP's profile. He had NY listed, even tho he works/currently lives in CA.

I am curious tho, why are you starting over? Was it a wiring nightmare? I hope you didn't start back from square one, it looks like you had quite a bit of stuff done for the swap...

 

ok so I am out on sunday but let me clear up some things. 1. I am starting from ground up same car same engine it will be better engineered better balanced cause as of now 65% of the weight is at the front of the car, eletricial is all jacked up name it it went wrong, so i took it to guys that deal with nissan only so..... and if you guys want to know yes it will cost a grip to have it done so i need to go back to work hehe lol. i am in the sandiego area in Cali but home is Ny when the car is done it will be on the first truck back to ny hint at the end of the project it will be a 2.7 /maybe 2.8 twin turbo. So hopefully i can holla at you guys from the ship see you guys in 6 months.

 

Ill see if my 2JZ swap is done before this.

 

IBTL

 

hey if you do when i am done we can meet in english town what you think

 

man ive misunderstood i thought the shop guys in NY were idiots so you took the car to California

 

Sounds good dude. Do it right, take your time. Definitely not a project to rush, by any stretch of the word. Good luck, hope your time at sea goes well!

 

I'm glad to see you finally pulled the car from the last shop. IMO, this project was way beyond their skill level. McKinney is 10 minutes from my house......just might have to go check this out in person. I bought aftercooler piping from them a while back. Seemed like knowledgeable guys when I threw a few questions at them...

 

Wait this maybe a noob question, i though all rb26 engines are awd and rb25 is rwd which is why rb25 are swapped in 240's. And yet this says rb26 and some one told me that it was rwd?

 

the Skyline R32 GTS-4 could go from RWD to AWD with the push of the button and didnt have RB26. IIRC they were RB25

on R32 GTR with the RB26 you just have to pull a fuse and you get RWD

 

r32's only came with rb20 and r32 gtr's came with awd and an rb26...and to make rwd rb26 you just need an rb20(weaker)/25 tranny

 

It doesn't matter what the engine is was used for (FWD/RWD/AWD) it matters what tranny and diff it is matted to

 

This is an awesome project, but it take the right people with the right skills to do this kind of stuff. Good luck with the project.

 

nope, R32 came with one of these engines. a guy at works brother has a R32 GTS with a RB25

2.0 L RB20E I6
2.0 L RB20DE I6
2.5 L RB25DE I6
2.0 L RB20DET I6
2.6 L RB26DETT I6

 

bump, i had forgot about this thread

 

IIRC Maxxkid went away for school for around a year and is continuing this project again this year with a new RB26

 

You need rb25/z32 trans to hold the power. you have to do some oil pan modification on the rb26 also if you convert it to rwd. A buddy did it in his s14. harness shouldn't be to crazy... ask a favor from wiringspecialties.com? haha

 

It's funny that you are doing rb motor swap because I was thinking about a sr swap into my 3rd gen max. Let me what the dyno number look like.

 

fwd sr20det bluebird engine in a max would be SWEET.
