Has anyone ever swapped in a RB26 from a GTR into a Maxima?

 

Yes. It's been done to death.

We've moved on to swapping VQs into them.

 

I have one, just look at my sig. I put of hte 00vi on the RB.

 

I finally got my RB in, connected everything up and installed my tornado air... SHES RUNNIN LIKE A BEAST!

 

Tornado Air won't fit my 00vi

 

It will if you dremel out the 2 mounting tabs on the inside rim of the unit, that way it won't interfere with the TB butterfly plate.

 

Duh! I knew that. Thanks Dave, I shoulda asked you since you are hte one who does the swaps.

 

i have 2 rb26's in my maxima
one in front one in back for weight distribution

 

a couple things...a maxima is Front Wheel Drive....skyline is all wheel drive...it would be possible but it would take massive amounts of cash to even complete it...and by the time you do get it done you could've just bought your own skyline here and enjoy the RB that way.

But to answer your question...not to my knowledge has anyone done it.

I did an entire RB swap with transmission and dual exhaust, I've gotten most of the kinks out of it. You have to watch out for a few things though. The 300ZX motor mounts bolt up but just watch out for the bolts when you align them. The ECUs are the same from RB's to Maximas, just make sure you bolt down the ECU real good, once you launch your Max, its gonna lift the front wheels off the ground. The throttle body is no big problem, like Dave said.

 

omg not this thread again.

 

pshhh...everyone knows that RB25DETTs fit better into Maximas than RB26s..that what im running

 

hey wake up, its time to go to school. you're gonna be late

 

i have one in my BIG WHEEL!!!

 

haha i had to drop in the RB25 after i blew the welds on the intake manifold on my RB26..

 

If you bore out the RB engine to 3.0, it'll be a V6

 

I forgot about that... if I weld 2 together, I get a V12

 

You'd need titanium connecting rods for that

 

no no no, technically ull get a I-12

 

I went to RB's to get a sandwich.

 

oh no! did your floor panels fall out too?

 

Ask stillen or JWT for their RB26 maxima swap kit. I think they are backordered though.

 

I Got flamed to ashes.

 

lololololol

 

another one yeah

 

No no CustomMaxima has the RB26 swap kit coming out real soon, I'm pretty sure its on their top secret project maxima which is almost done...A guy I know on the inside said that they were getting released the same time as the 95-96 red/clears

 

man we need to put this in as a sticky and in the faq
RB26 swap NOT POSSIBLE NOT WORTH THE TIME MONEY/EFFORT

 

how'd you know?

 

Yeah, I have another little secret project going on though. I will unveil it to the world next week but I'll give you the scoop now. Get ready for it, I put a modified maxima body on a r34 gtr frame. The body had to be lengthened and widened in a few places but it worked. Unless you know maximas pretty well you won't be able to tell the difference.

 

You deserved it

 

Quit lying, I just did one in mine. My buddy's switching his 6 spd to one too. Theres hardly any modifications, it bolts right up. I coverted mine to a rear wheel drive too, front and center diff couldnt fit. Sucka puts down like 700 horse with minor mods. I run 9's...

 

umm yu had better cause yu ggonna get
