Hey Guys,

I have tried searching and have found a few little bits and peices but its not exactly definitive or what im after.

Ok basically i am going to be starting a project with a R34 Coupe or 4 door (not sure yet). Seeing as the non turbo models are a fair bit cheaper i have been looking inot buying one of those as a base. But then i got thinking about differences between the 2 different variants.

Basically im after the major differences between the 2 ie brakes, suspension, chassis, anything that is performance inhibiting or is something else that will need to be upgraded if i was to buy a non turbo version.

I relise there are series 1 and 2's i have found a bit of imfromation on these so you need not post up about that.

The car will eventually get a different engine so the fact that one is turbo and the other isnt want be a problem.

Thanks in advance,

Neil

when you say its going to eventually be another engine in the car..

are you talking about some thing other than a rb25neo ???

if you are going to upgrade the engine to a turbo'd rb25 in the long run anyway, dont waste your time getting a N/A in the first place IMHO

Eventually it will either have a rb25 with 30 bottom end or a 2jz, however this is still undecided. Either the turbo or non turbo head will work with the 30 block so it doesnt particularly matter which version i buy in that view.

The interior is slightly different, the R34 N/A lacks the three gauges that the turbo model has.

Im pretty sure the N/A model has smaller brakes.

Not sure about suspension differences.

Chasis is the same.

as said if u go for a gtv model you will get everything the turbo model has minus the turbo. that includes suspension, brakes the works. there is some food for thought.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
