Just thought I'd tell you guys of a fcouple of things I've found out about my R34 over the course of owning it.

The tiptronic gearbox in the non-turbo is the same unit as the turbo one has! I'm guessing due to the expense of developing two differnet items for a car that had a limited existance.

I'm yet to confirm this for the non-turbo manual 5 speed, as I don't have access to one to check out.

Also R34's use top-feed injectors for the whole range..from RB20, RB25 to RB26...yet another strange thing.

Thats right Sumo, an RB20DE was present in one of the R34 models... and if that doesn`t scare you, there was an RB20E (thats right a single cam!) in the lowest spec R33.

666DAN - Our GTT's (RB25DET) use side feed Injectors, not top feed (see Here) and, at the moment, I can only find one injector upgrade (Nismo 480cc) because they're some kind of special plastic version and therefore R33 ones won't work! (unless you change the fuel rail and/or the resistor packs)

PS

Here's a piccy of an RB20'd R34

MY old GTS was powered by an RB20E. It wasn't that bad! It wasn't good either, but it was a skyline and it was cheap. So, if I had to guess why Nissan made the Skyline range available with a RB20E I'd say to reduce the cost of the entry model to appeal to more people.

The surprising thing about the skyline is tha although it's a kick-ass sports car, it's also a 4 door family sedan that Grandpa Joe likes driving around in...and granpa Joe usually doesn't care how many cams are under the bonnet... :(

There is actually a name for those rb20e R33's, but i cant remember what it is.  I think it started with "E"  Someone who had one should know.

Eeerm... "Urbanliner"?

Nissan Skyline "Extremelyslowcarthatlookslikeasportscar"?

But Nismo only supply top-feed aftermarket injectors for the R34 series, as they are the only direct replacements for the factory rail...which is top-feed....go have a look, I've even taken my one out. YES R33 RB25's use side feed...not the R34.

so are they low or high impendence?

would GTR ones fit?

They're the opposite of the GTR ones but I can't remember which they are (I think it's high)

the only upgrade I could find (from any maker) was the Nismo 480cc ones, but if you alter the resistor pack then you could fit GTR ones I suppose.

    • Dang I looked at this for so long until I realised it was for the inner rod. I was so confused. This looks like a great tool. Another injected plastic box for my collection. I for one am a torquer. I'm far too anxious and neurotic to not use the correct torques whenever I can. I do honestly feel like my wheels will fall off if I dont.
    • Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.
    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
