Hello all, I have been on the site for a while now but this is my first post really. I currently drive an R34 GTT and live in the UK and I am looking at doing a top mount turbo conversion on my GTT. I have got most of the parts but I still need to find a few final bits and I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help.

My main problem is Forged Pistons, Over here in the UK company’s don’t list any pistons for the R34GTT and the ones that do say they are the same as the R33 GTST but I have also been told by other R34 owners who have put in R33 pistons not to bother because they are different and if I do my engine will last about 6 months before it goes pop. The only other option I have is to get a set fabricated here in the UK which will cost £1000 + VAT which is a lot of money for pistons so does anyone know of any company in Australia or anywhere for that matter that can source R34GTT forged pistons and would be willing to ship them to the UK?

Also having problems sourcing Nismo 740CC top feed injectors it seems in the UK we can only get 540cc for the R34GTT

Thanks in advance also apology’s if I have posted this in the wrong section

In regards to the injectors

Unless Nismo are making 540cc for the 2007 Nismo range, last time I checked Nismo only made 480cc for the ER34.

The other ones are only available for the R33 series RB25, ie non neo.

Im not sure which highmount your going for, but if its going to be high mounted it will most likely be a large turbo which will make a fair bit of power.

You COULD get away with the 480s but just to be safe I opted for the Sard 650cc which are a straight fit.

As far as i know R34 rb25det pistons are not the same as R33. Neo piston have smaller dome + valve reliefs.

Agreed, but ive never pulled a stock NEO apart. The combustion chambers in the head are much smaller, so the pistons must have a smaller dome to maintain the same compression.

Thanks everyone for the replys some usful information here I will start looking in to them asap. Seems this piston question will go one for ever some say they are the same as the R33 some say they are different. I just dont want to spend 4K on an engine put R33 pistons in and it only lasts 6 months because they are the wrong ones for the car.

Thanks again

I heard this is part of emission thingy... what people usually do is chuck in R33 forgies and increase gasket thickness to 15mm I think...otherwise there'll be high knock

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well

      hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.

      It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
