Depends weather or not you are doing the labor yourself ...

Parts aren't all that expensive for R32's ya just gotta know where to source ya parts from ...

Im building up an R32 GTS auto atm ...

Just replaced the R32 auto gearbox with a replacement auto gearbox out of an R33 GTS-T series 2

The gearboxes are exactly the same the only difference between the boxes is you will have to use your R32 speedo in the R33 gearbox as the R33 uses a Digital speedo unit ...

the reason i wanna keep mine and turn into a gts-t is cause my car isnt worth much and soon im gonna need to put a new engine in it anyway weather it is a standard gts or convert it to gts-t cause its done alot of ks which i dont think anyone would buy in such a hurry and i just started putting bodykit on it etc its got to many mods i like to wanna have to go through the trouble to do again like mods not to do with engine.

I know what ya feel like dude ...

My GTS has a few mods under it's belt allready hence the reason why I dont want to sell and buy a GTS-T I would rather keep modding my GTS

my list :-

Pedders Sportsrider lowered suspention all round

Full Nolathane bush kit for the whole car

R33 N/A rear brakes

Larger upgraded red rear swaybar (pedders item most likely)

Japanese aftermarket adjustable strut brace up front

has a K&N pod filter

has a 2.5" catback exhaust with canon muffler

R33 series 2 - 4spd Automatic gearbox with R33 series 2 Torque converter and Driveplate and stage 2 shiftkit valvebody upgrade

So the car is starting to be setup for more power allready the gearbox can handle more power ...

Next on my list is Z32 300zx 4 piston front calipers and fit them to my GTS knuckles and still use the stock 274mm front discs and 4 stud hubs ... will be running 17" wheels to allow for the larger calipers

that should see me stop well ... the GTS-T brake discs are 5 stud and 280mm so there is only a 6mm difference in size which aint really much at all hence why I want to stay 4 stud and keep a few people guessing ...

if you want a decent upgrade grab some Z32 brake calipers, or even just the GTSt calipers. and a bigger brake booster, helps abit

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
