Dunno why you'd use something like the prehistoric castiron VH block when you can use a lighter all-alloy VK56DE

the titan engine with a nismo supercharger would be the way to go if you wanted to keep it in the family... expensive compared to an LS1, but definitely sweet.

The VH engine is also all alloy... the VK56 lost VCT got lower compression and a longer stroke... not good if ur after a high revving sports car type oriented engine... if u were after something for a burnout car then perhaps it would be a goer..

The biggest thing is cost and availability...

Very doable - all the examples of where it has been 'done', however, and all RWD vehicles. The topic is specifically about a gts4.

What with all that 4wd gear, and a different bell housing (is my terminology correct?), its more than a little different.

Cant you get the VH41DE in a 4wd version ie it must have the correct sump etc a 4wd application?

It might be the way to go if you want 4wd V8 instead of this idea over head valve (push rods) 2 valves per cylinder is performance.

OHV 2 Valves per cylinder should have died many years ago but GMH are a bit dim.

I n asnwer to your question with someone that would be willing to fabricate the parts needed yes you could do it, finding that person that will do it for a reasonable price would be near on impossible.. i have the gear to do but do not have the time nor the money..

If I was going to do something like this, how about a Toyota 1GZ-FE ?

V12, 5.0 litres, quad cams, all alloy. It would be like having two RB25DE engines side by side. The engine length would be very similar, so the 4WD sump might come pretty close to fitting with just an adaptor plate.

The Toyota V12 is very similar in design and construction to the well known Toyota alloy V8, but with four extra cylinders. It is supposed be a very well built engine, ideal for high Rpm. With a few modifications it would howl like a Ferrari, and make a pretty unique car.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
