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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
