Hi Guys,

anyone ever attempted to perform this conversion?

im quite keen as i love the r34's interior, but dont want the heavy r34 (or maybe i just cant afford one)

would like to know whats involved, what do i have to do to make it work?

i'm looking to change the entire dash, door trims etc.

including making the r34 speedo cluster work with the r33 sensors and ecu...

any help appreciated thanks :P

ummm thats odd but just might be a worthy project...i have never heard of anyone doing a dash conversion....if you do please keep us informed as this would be rather interesting....

1 would assume that it would require a lot of work....also does your 33 have airbags?

ohh and then getting your sensors to work shouldnt be that much of a headache

goodluck mate

cheers thanks, yea the r34 interior is fakkin mint, personally, i think the GT-T cluster looks better than the R34 GT-R Cluster.

really hoping this will work out, if anyone knows anything, any help will be appreciated.

thanks :P

fours and more in SA claim they've done a r34 gtt dash conversion into a silvia but they did an engine swap as well

so if it might be doable

I was thinking of doing this a while ago but gave up b4 i started to really think about it...

I personally dont think it'd be worth the effort.

Owning a R34 and have been in a R33 I dont think it's THAT spectacular that you need to change, nothing that a set of DEFI gauges and a double DIN screen HU cant solve :)

I would save the money for something else!

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
