Hello all,
As some of you know, my 95 s14 is in mid strip down/rebuild. I have the old engine/tranny out, the interior is striped for refinishing, the Rear diff is replaced, brakes are here awaiting installation, and most of the suspension parts are here. The front end body work repair is in progress, (minor damage, no frame, or suspension damage at all.) and finally I think I have my fuel solution plotted (Big thanks to you aussie skyline freaks!).
After much research, I have decided to go with the RB26DETT with the RWD GTS tranny. I have found almost everything I need for the swap, to include how to keep the factory twins. (thought I may just go single from the get go, still deciding on that one.) I have a good source for the engine and tranny, and I should have the engine here within 90 days or so. I do have 2 questions though. I am still working on the AC. Before I get any "open the window comments"
I'm british, I live in Dallas, I am getting older, and it is hot as hell here. I will have AC.
So have any of you RB swappers kept your AC? Did you use the skyline compressor, or the 240sx compressor? Any and all info is as always much appreciated.
I also am curious about how people have done thier gauge cluster, swap in the skyline cluster from the clip, or scrap a factory cluster, and use after market gauges? if after market, what fuel gauge did you use?
Also, Anyone have a digital copy of the English RB26 shop manual? (R33)
Cheers mates, and thanks for all your help!
(I am working on a website which I will get serious about once the engine is here, and the real work begins.)
