first of all, sorry if this is a repost.

anyway i'm getting an R33 GTS manual soon and want to do a turbo conversion later on.

just wanted to know wats the cheapest way of doing this. i know the best way to do this is probably getting a GTST front cut (i think). but is there a different and cheaper way.

appreciate any help.

I think you answered your own question ;)

A front cut is the best option.. Also will mean you should get the front end hubs, discs, brakes to do the 5 stud and brake conversion, proper loom and ECU. Also if you get a manual cut, the right gearbox, clutch, all that, etc as well.

Then you just need the rear hubs/brakes and an LSD - and you should be done.

honestly i'm not that desperate to get a turbo, i mean i'd love to have one but i can settle for an NA and being still on my Ps i think i should. i'm not gonna be taking the car to tracks or anything just want something that looks and goes ok for daily driving and with the number of undercover cops around these days you can't get away with a drag race every now and then lol.

You may not be desperate to get a turbo now, but you will later.

Dont bother with a non turbo, just save your money and buy a GTS-t right from the word go. You will save money in the long run, and you wont have to regret buying the NA version of an already pretty heavy car.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
