Hay Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can put an RB26dett engine and gear box, including the front wheel drive into an R33 GTST. Cause I was thinking of doing it......

HAs this been done before? Are the engine mounts the same? Will the GTST drive shaft fit and do you have to replace the diff?

I can't wait to here what you guys think.

Cheers

Gold Rays

Ive seen an RB26DETT (without the 4wd stuff) in a 4 door R33 and it wasnt as easy as just swapping everything over. It took about three days for a mechanic who specialises in skylines to iron out all the little problems. i think electrics were more of a problem than mechanical. it had bigger turbos, a powerfc and avcr too. that being said, make sure you reasearch it first....

I'd say it would be cheaper in the long run to sell your GTSt and buy a GTR.. Otherwise pick up a GTS4 and drop an RB26 into that, then you have ATTESA...

A mate of mine has put an RB26 into his GTS, engine dyno'd at over 700hp, thing is an animal in the dry in any gear... I like the grip of my GTR :D

i don't bother me if I can't get the FWD. I want to do what your mate did.

I heard you could buy some sort of 4WD kit for a GTST!!!

I will be doing all the installing work with help of a few mechanics for free, so i don't have to worry about the cost of that. Only the cost of the front cut.

Another question: Is the GTR chasis the same as a GTST?

Hi Gold Rays, last time I priced a half cut R33 GTR it was close enough to $12K, to that you would need to add the cost of an R33 GTR tail shaft, rear diff, rear uprights, brakes, drive shafts, suspension arms, fuel tank, fuel pump, rear outer guards, rear inner guards, panel beating, painting etc etc

Someone already said it, "I'd say it would be cheaper in the long run to sell your GTSt and buy a GTR"

Plus in the end you would still have a GTST, not a real GTR.

My thoughts anyway

All RB block patterns are the same so it should just bolt straight in. Don't know about the 4WD though.

And 1989 R32 GTR's are going for about 15K in Jap land ATM so you may want to just upgrade. Check out prestige motorsports mailing list.

Here are another couple from Prestige motors. I have been receiving their emails for a while and they are getting really cheap.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
