I love the look of the r34 GTT and GTR, but the GTR is out of my price range. I also really want the rb26dett and AWD, so what i want to know is, how hard would it be to convert a GTT to rb26dett and AWD? Roughly how much would it cost, and what is involved (besides the obvious)? Is it technically feasible to do, or should i just settle for an r33 GTR?

By the time you cover the cost of the halfcut, labor, and time you spend on the conversion / time you could wait and save money - the R34 GTR would be affordable anyway.

Or settle for an AWD with 25, and do some work. Plenty of avenue's for power, ie building an RB30DETT.

This general question has been covered so many times it's not funny. The conversion is not simply a matter of throwing a RB26 engine and gearbox into a chassis. There is a whole bunch of electronics and hydraulics that all work together to make it work.

The general consensus is that it is far cheaper - and much less anguish - to just go and buy the GT-R. Then again, you could start with a AWD RB25DE version, and drop the RB26 in. And add decent brakes. And decent suspension. And ...

Check the build ups pages, someone in there is doing it.

Depending on your skill level is possible "relatively" cheap.

But as said before, nothing wrong with the RB25.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
