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.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
