Hi Ben,

I Have put a gtr diff in my 33 gtst, but I just used the GTR housing and swapped the input flange and lopped of the mount for the hydraulic hicas. you need the gtr hubs as the spline is different and of a larger diameter but I assume you have these as part of your "etc., etc.". For using the gtst housing, just check as I can't remember whether the bolt diameter and PCD is the same on the ring gear. If it is you can just bolt your centre into the ring gear and reinstall. While you have the diff out you may aswell change your seals and if your really keen your bearings too. I just put new seals in the gtr housing. You will need to use the GTR output flanges (6 bolt) I will also assume you have these, if you dont, you need to get them. Changing the crap around with the brakes so you can install the gtr hubs is a pain and it would have been easier to change to fork bottom rear struts but this would have slightly changes the geometry at the rear and I was advised against this. You pretty much need to pull the whole lot appart and mix and match till everything is back together. There is a piece which the drum in disk springs hook onto which is a separate part on the ally gtr hub carriers, on the cast iron gtst ones it is part of the casting. There are four bolts to pull the hubs out of the hub carrier on the gtst and four bolts plus the large one for the above mentioned "spring mounting lug"(I just made that name up as it sounded good.) on the GTR hub carriers. You will see what I mean when you get into it. Just realised that you have a r33 gtr rear end and I'm not sure of the differences. I used a r32 one. I'm not going to delete all this stuff I typed cause it may help anyway. If you have the Brembo rear brakes with this rear end you have, I assume you will be swapping that all over anyway so you will need to pull the brakes all apart anyway.

Anything else I can help with though, let me know. I know I struggled to find info when I did it.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-

      Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
