Yeh heller makes a good point... i got a gts-4 its awesome n all but the costs of doing all that work might aswell get a gtr...

But on the flipside apparently the Stagea engine is the best drop in for it since its a 4wd motor :(

i dont have a car atm, n all i have is a worked rb25det and box with pfc to match, seen a cheap gts-4 for sale and wanted to see if i can put my set up in it, hence the questions!! i'd love a gtr but out of my price range atm

Thing is i have a perfectly good rb25det sitting downstairs with a manual box, all the bolt on mods you see in my signature, and am thinking of getting a gts-4 just wondering if it is possible? can ytou refrill the RWD block to accomodate for the stagea 4wd or rb26 4wd sump??

this has kinda been covered in another topic recently

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Op...wd-t317738.html

might be some useful info in there.

not sure about your mods, maybe you can transfer some of them onto an rb26 or stagea engine, sell your engine stock and but a gtr rolling body...

just a possibility

I'm just about to finish my stagea conversion in my gts4 r33. I would not get a gtst rwd motor and dump it in there as you will need to get a rwd gearbox which costs more money. George is correct in saying it is basically a drop in motor, however your only real problem is changing the diff. My plan was to do this conversion all along for a mini zilla. So if you think you are committed enough to do the conversion yourself it can be very simple. Im not sure about r32s however lot of the r33 parts from the na are compatible

thanks for that man, i am confident on the conversion, done 2 rb20det s13's. I do also have the RWD gearbox (did i mention this)?? But the gts-t has a a blown rb20det motor in it already so there i parts i can play with there.

built rb25 and box + datsun 260Z = Fun

You cant simply re-drill the 2WD block to plonk an AWD sump and diff onto it.... it's a different block.

Honestly, if you cant afford to buy a stag motor/box... maybe you should hold off on any kind of performance conversion?

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
