Hey guys , i am currently deciding if i should make a purchase on a r34 that was initially an NA R34 but is now running with gtr engine. I am currently worried that the gearbox is not changed and a NA gearbox wouldnt last very long on a gtr engine. Or does the gtr engine does not fit into a NA gearbox. Anyone has any experience in this? Are there anything that i should be worried of besides the gearbox, that the gtr engine is transplanted into a NA chasis ?

Thanks

BRAKES!!!!!

also transmission, diff, half shafts.

if it's just the motor dropped in... don't do it.

The diff is changed, so are the brakes, all 4 pot brakes front and rear. Pardon me, but what are half shafts? Are there anyway i can inspect if the transmisison is a 33gtr transmission or a 33gtst transmission? The car seems to have spent alot of money on it just from the mods such as titanium exhausts, greddy 4 pot on all 4 brakes. I still need to see it on a hoist to see the condition of the car

33 GTR box will be an AWD box, and unless the car is AWD, it's most likely not going to be one of them. If you look under it and theres a transfer case on the box, but it's still "RWD" probably an even bigger indicator to stay away from the car.

I wouldnt worry too much about the gearbox, find out what box it is, but im betting a standard R34 gt box will take a standard rb26 with no worries, as long as it isnt abused. :thumbsup: If its had the diff and brakes upgraded, then there is a good chance it has a gts-t or gtt box, and they are as strong as a gtr box, even stronger in a way as they dont have the loading of the awd. If the price is reasonable, then it sounds like a good thing.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
