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 :(

dude, go tell that to every other person out there that does engine swaps in cars.

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.

    • I see what you mean on that last paragraph and makes sense. I am leaning towards because I made the repair/filler area large that I didn't use a long enough block. Will minimise the area and let you's know how I go. This is random but I noticed when I put epoxy primer it felt flat but that's just temporary.
    • Tried to repair with filler only. The block is a foam block but quite hard and I put a velcro on it for sandpaper, the hook and loop system. It's not one of those super soft ones that just follow the panel. Similar to a dura block.
    • You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...
    • Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?
    • I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.
