has anyone attempted to do this or has thought about it? i'm thinking about swapping the rb25 from a stagea and putting it into an R34 gt-four. make a sleeper. any helpful and positive feedback would be appreciated. i bought an R34 gt-four rolling chassis (2 door) and it didn't have a drivetrain. what parts would i need exactly to do this swap. i've tried researching this for a while now and i can't find anything on it.

I have put in a AWD 25DE into my r32 gts4.

Its all pretty straight forward.

ECU, loom, etc.

Exhaust may need a little modification in the front pipe section

You will also need to change fuel pump to accomodate for he bigger need of fuel

i was going to do this swap, but decided to go the rb30 awd path with my r34.

Pretty much a straight forward swap, with only a few minor changes.

What does your rolling chasis have? rear diff? engine? was it orginally manual or auto? if its manual do you have all the clutch gear (slave cylinder etc)?

The main point is making sure that you have the correct diff ratios front and rear. Most stageas are auto, so if your gtfour is manual and you still have the front diff, take the stageas rb25 diff/sump off and use the gtfour's.

Everything else is pretty much plug n play

Just on a side note the r34gtfour uses the same box as a gtr (but its uses a push type clutch, like the early r32's) but the rear diff is the same as a na r33/r34. This pretty much means if you are planning on pushing it hard, i wouldnt expect the axles/diff to hold up. The gtr rear diff is a great upgrade, but you'll need the gtr half shafts aswell. Then if you use the gtr rear diff you'll need the gtr's front diff aswell (since they have different ratios to the gtfour).

If you dont have a gearbox, the gtr box will bolt up, but just be careful which one you get (push or pull type).

Other than that, it should be a relatively quick, cheap and fun awd r34 :spank:

ok cause i was wondering about using the gtr diff's. also i'm gonna be using the auto tranny but i'm gonna have it built up and i'm gonna have the motor push about 500-600hp. so could i use the auto tranny with the gtr diff's? i plan on building the motor with z-tune internals and use an apexi AX53B70 turbo, hks valvetrain, i even have the gtr MFD screen for the vitals, z32 maf's, q45 throttle body, s-max intercooler with a built in sprayer just in case, tranny cooler and a few other mods.

    • I strongly recommend anyone playing with cars chasing anything electric, get a basic understanding of using a DMM, and about 12V DC systems. They're REALLY easy, you only need to know V=IR and how to apply it, and you can work out what your readings should be doing. For a simple check on a light bulb, you're looking for 12V at the positive to the light, a near zero resistance to ground, and then for a small resistance across the globe when unplugged. If one of those values isn't right, you won't get what you need. Now if they're all okay,and you then plug the light in, and it still won't work, you now do a voltage check across the globe positive to negative. It should effectively read full battery voltage. If it's not, especially if it's quite low, the age old V=IR starts to be able to be thought about, you now know though, for the current flowing, there isn't much voltage for the given resistance, but the rest of that V has to be dropping somewhere else. So now do a voltage check from ground of globe, to ground of car, then do voltage check from positive of battery, to positive of the light connector. Things like a high resistance in a wire/join will start to "steal" voltage on you. So now step back through which ever wire, until you find the voltage drop is non existent, you're now before what ever is steal your voltage for example.   There's plenty of YouTube videos, but really worth understanding some V=IR, and doing some even theoretical numbers to start to understand it. Then you'll know what the DMM is telling you.

    • Item 10: Tech Edge wideband sensor interface and display. You’ll need to buy a new sensor. $150. Item 11: part of a Willians 5 point harness. $40 Item 12: OS88 gear display. No need for it now, my PPG sequential came with one. $30
    • I took it out, even though I knew I probably don't know what I'm doing other than looking for power signal lol. Lesson learned here I guess, even if it looks normal, worth checking as it only takes a few seconds anyhow. And maybe disconnect the battery, even though really shouldn't have to.
