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.

    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
