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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
