I think you'd be dumb to change engine from non turbs to turbo. I'm pretty sure there is more than a brake upgrade as well, things like suspension would have different spring rates and the dampers would be different as well. As a turbo engine would weigh more than an NA.

Like people have said 34 GT-t has a stronger box than standard GT, diff is different, tailshaft as well, etc, etc.

What happened to the supercharging idea?

when importing.. do i get to choose out of a couple of cars which one i want?

do inporters shop for what i want?

like specific body kit, auction grade etc?

people like chef, if you give him a ruff idea on what you want and how much your wanting to spend he would look out for something and give you lists on what he has found till you are happy.

i personally know 4 people who have bought off him and they were all happy with the outcome.

same goes with jspec. they were giving me email updates on things that they had found that were similar to what i was asking for.

I don't know the in and outs of it all but regardless it's a waste of time anyhow!!!

ah not really a waste of time

(1) think you'll find there pretty much the same its cheaper to only do the R&D once

(2) how much does a turbo and inter cooler really weigh :( so your not adding much extra weight there

(3) gearbox is only 2 sorts RB20 and RB25 so i think you'll find there the same

(4) yeah pretty much same

realistically you don't save any money making all these parts for non turbo cars

Yes Dre you get to pick and choose everything once you get Kristian looking for a car you become his boss he is your employee, but don't be and asshat about it because he may say your too fussy and suggest another importer for you to try :(

So that means my car was a waste of time aswell? me and a lot of other people think that engine conversions aren't a waste of time.

AWD, RB26DETT in a car that looks like a GTST, FTMFW! :)

What the f**k is so good about the brand Ed Hardy. ? Looks like childrens clothing.

yeah, i havent figured that out either. i dont get what the big deal is in paying $100 for a shirt that looks like 5 babies threw up on it.

guess im just not hip enough for that shit.

whos ed harry?

what about a 33 4door with a rb26dett thats still badged as a non turbo :)

im really liking this car but it runs rich as all hell atm :(

lucky your pockets aint empty cuz :)

riches get b*tches

n chad we all know rb26s in old school dato's are the way for ultimate sleepers :D

bogans cant tell the diff's in skyline models, wouldnt know what gtr is. but everyone thinks a dato would never go fast :(

thanks steve, ive found when getting stuff for the 34 that most of it is GTT anyway. and i have done most of the stuff anyway that i would need to do (like ecu and brakes) there shouldnt be too much stuff i would need to get i dont think.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
