hi everybody this is my 1st post so please be kind lol,um where to start.......well i bought an r33 gtst series 1 a few months ago pretty cheap and noticed something was wrong with it the other week so i had it tested and a compression test on the engine found out its dying.

so i was either thinking of getting a 2nd hand engine and doing some mods or getting an r33 GTR engine and having that put in.

can you tell me what would be better doing?how much messing around would it be to put a GTR engine in and what would need to be done?

be waiting for your replies.

Hi Aleisha and welcome!

So sad to hear of something dying - even if it's an engine.

Perhaps you can PM "satanic" and talk to Stan about what he's done to his R34 GT-T (ie dropping a GT-R block in + all the fruit).

I wouldn't mind you sending me your Avatar so that I can use it in my hypnosis clinic hehe.

I've got a Subie too an XT - next to my 'Line

Its a bit more complicated that just pull the engine and drop a 26 in.

The wallet will be much easier off going with a rebuild on the RB25DET.

Typically, you'd find a GTR half cut, and swap in the engine, and all the other fruit, like bigger radiator, FMIC, brake's, etc.

Running an RB26 with 25 accessories is a bad idea.

welcome aleisha,your better off getting the 2nd hand RB25DET and doing it up.

it will cost you a fortune,for starters a gtr engine aint cheap and you will have to get alot of work done to get it running right.

you could easily get a 300rwkw gtst for the amount it would cost you to drop a gtr engine in your car and all the work that will have to get done.

I second this. When I was looking at skylines (obviously bought a 32 gtr though) I test drove some 33 gts-t's. There was this yellow series two in particular that I tested and it was freakin quick. Still retained the RB25, so I can definately vouch for its potential. From what I hear there is just too much trouble putting a gtr engine in for what its worth, it just sounds cool to say you have a gtr engine lol.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
