I really would suggest that you have a look in the forced induction section for how to go about the 30 conversion, Just mix the gtr bottom mods with the gtst top parts.

Personally when I look at my car, and the amount that has been done to it, and how much is left to be done I don't think that either is a sensible option. Sell and buy a gtr.. seriously. It is a much better base to start from.

if you do all the work yourself, and you have a 32 r cut, going into a 32 gts-t body

it shoudl all be a very straight forward swap over, motor and box will slot straight in, you'll want to get the rear cradle so you get the matching diff's to suit the box as they may be different to the gts4, and the looms should plug into one another, there might be some wiring differences but they would be pretty minor...

just a matter of the intercooler then and zaust, and away you go..

cost wise tho id almost be cheaper to just get the R, but if you spin the spanners yourself, you would come out on top doing the convo to the gts4

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
