is yours a RWD or 4WD GTT ?

any traction issues? lol

you running the standard GTR turbos or are they N1s.

gearbox should hold around 280-300rwkw considering its in good health.

got a rough ballpark figure of this conversion from start to finish?

this is something i wanna achieve sometime.

firstly you would be pretty dumb to put in a second hand engine...

for reliability you want to freshen up the engine, decent rebuild cost u 10k...

for a properly converted car you could get away with it for 25k thats probably wiv a freshen up, excluding buying a gtr engine

its expensive, believe me

We did a rb26 conversion nearly a year ago into a r34 gts4 so he could retain the 4wd, he supplied the engine and most other parts, in total his bill was approx 7k, wiring was prob the hardest part our wiring guru had his hands full but fired first turn key. really nice car to drive now its had most things in a hks cataloge thrown into it.

yea buy the time im finished with the wiring and tuning just over 20k so im looking 4 330rwkw 4 now till i get better gearbox

and yes there just standard turbos if thats wat they used in the godzillas in bathurst

I did all my own work my conversion was on a stagea, did not rebuild the 26 as it didnt need a rebuild have twin hks low mounts and dumps and front pipe pfc 100mm cooler 600cc injectors good street setup nice driver with twin plate clutch all up cost was 9.5k including buying the motor and box

what are the main wiring issues... im building one for my GTST

Thanks l'co. The engine we did this conversion on was from an r33 GTR. The main wiring issues were in combining the two looms. I try to do things pretty spot on and if it don't look like it should be there it ain't goin into 1 of our customers' cars. You've all seen those conversions with plugs that aren't connected hanging around and such. There are alot of inputs to an r34 ecu that just aren't there on an r33 gtr ecu. The only real issue was to swap things like the abs motor wiring and a couple of other things that escape my mind this instant and integrate them in the 33 loom. Admittedly, in the process the r34 loom was sacrificed for the better good. Anyway other than that, there's the obvious inclusion of the gtr injector resistor pack, a few alternative wiring modifications for the fuel pump relay (the gtr utilises a fuel pump control module) wire it up to power and hey presto! Basically if you have a decent amount of experience in reading wiring diagrams and fair soldering skills, you could probably do this job (given the time) as well. Just remember MINUS goes to red and PLUS goes to black, right? TIC. BTW All the wiring diagrams and all the info you need are/is on this forum.

yea mines rwd so im gona hav issues with grip a i still got stock rims and only 235s on her and bad camber

so itll kinda be like my mates rb20det s13 . doesnt even throw you back in the seat before its spinning . what a waste

solid center clutch or sprung ?

solid center mate and yes its goin to be a bit of a waste 4 now but every thing takes time and wheels and tyers and gear box r the next thing on the list

its not dumb if its a R34 GTR or Vspec motor.

good job mate, stock rims = lots of smoke & tyre frying lol

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
