Late Model R33 Gts4 With Rb26?

[Dush]

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a late model R33 GTS4 and doing a RB26 conversion. Has anyone does this before?

Just wanna know what I'll have to change in the drive line.. like Gear box etc..

Just curious to know if the R33 GTS'4 use the ATTESA system like R33 GTRs?

thanks guys..

[GTS4WD]

Yes. They use the same ATTESSA as GTR.

Its not the exact same gearbox as GTR (shorter gears) but stronger than GTS

You will have to upgrade fuel pump to match the 26's needs.

Other than that. Its all very straight forward

[Dush]

So the Drive line is strong enough as it is? Dont need to upgrade beside gear box clutch?

So if i was to buy a late Mode R33 GTR half cut... with Box and ECU loom.. etc.. all that stuff..

Everything will bolt in fine?

all depends on your drive, if you're dumping the clutch from the rev limiter constantly and side stepping the clutch during changes then don't expect anything to last long.

The car will be driven to its limits on the track... But on the street just the usual burst here and there...

Should be alright I'm assuming...

Well if you getting a front cut.

Then its literally a cut and paste job.

The only thing you'll need to work your way around is FMIC pipeing and fuel pump

i hate to be a smart arse, but nissan did it. They took a gts4 and put in a rb26 a well as giving it a wide body kit and some more guages, among other things.

They called it the skyline gtr.

Seriously though, why do you want to go down this path? Cost? how much do you think you will save? Something different perhaps? Found a cheap gts4? Doing it for a challenge or hobbie? etc...

[R34GTFOUR]

gearbox will be fine

rear diff wont be

its not a small job, like any conversion, its gonna cost quite a few $$$.

Unless you were getting the gts4 really cheap, i would sit down and do the math and see how much you're going to spend. With the price of r33 gtr's these days i think you'll find that it doesnt work out that much more to get the real deal.

But its all apart of the fun, if this is a project car go do it and you'll learn a whole lot, but if you want it as a daily save up that little extra and just get the gtr

[Dush]

I was gonna pick up a GTS4 with a blown motor... but yea.. it was only a Idea...

But we'll see how things go.. gotta sell my car first tho. Thanks for the input guys =]

Mate. Its not really all that big of a job.

I have done 2 RB conversions already.

If your mechanically minded, with a decent skill, space and tools its not all that tough.

So, was it cost effective?

I bet you will be half way thru the conversion and say to yourself "i should have just bought a bloody GTR"

If you do complete the GTS4 RB26 conversion, it still will never be a GTR.

Never want it to be a GTR.. just a street sleeper.

Im going down this same path with my R34 GT-four. Hoping to bolt a RB26/30 into it later this year. Will let you know how i go. I'll make a project build thread sometime in the year.

[DSTROY]

I did it with my R32, now i have a 316kw GTS4. Would have been heaps cheaper to just buy a GTR but that depend if ya gonna do the work yourself. The look on peoples faces is classic when you blow them away at the lights
