Ok guys, sorry to bother everyone but i would really like to find out a specific answer to a few of my questions, as I keep getting a different answers from each person I talk to.

1. Can I bolt on (with no or minor modifications) an R32 GTR engine/gear box into a R34 GTT ? (If 32gtr cant, can 33gtr engine/gearbox?).

2. What engine/gearbox mounts do i have to use ? GTR or can i use the GTT ones ?

3. How much roughly to convert the gear box from 4wd to 2wd ?

4. What would be better off, buying a 32gtr front cut or waiting for a cheap engine, gearbox, ecu etc etc to pop up and buy everything sepretaly ?

Thanks and sorry if thia has been covered before, but i looked and couldnt find the answers.

1. yes

2. gtt

3. you can't unless your r34 has a gt4 chassi, which im assuming yours does not

4. whatever you get the best price on.

Ive seen people put GTR boxes in gtsts and use them RWD...i drove in a CB lancer that had a VR engine/gearbox (4wd) put in and its now running FWD...

Im pretty sure it can be done ?

And no i dont have a gt4 i have a gtt.

Thanks for the quick reply :sick: !

You need to chop off the transfer case... in basic terms... you have a GT-t

The gearbox is newer than the GTR gearbox, and the same strength.

So no point using a GTR gearbox as converting a GT-t to 4WD is an absolute waste of money

Fair enough if they are the same strength, and Im not trying to make it 4wd, i was just thinking if i buy a front cut of a 32gtr, might as well use the gearbox and thrash it and if engine/box blows, i have my stock bits to go back in.

OR... you could just spend the money on building a solid GTT engine and save a sh!tload of time and effort and make the same power at the rear wheels as the GTR engine would...

Thats just what i would do... up to you though, its your car.

:D

If it blows?

You realise what its going to cost you labour wise for the conversion ye?

Sounds just a "little" silly to say ... i just wanna do it and if it blows ill change it back

Hardly a worthwhile excercise

The only labour that i will need to pay for it the wiring, rest in not a problem at all.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
