for an extra $20 you can have my aids

it was necesary

Hmmm... Thinking about buying an R34 GT-4. How easy is it to do an engine swap? Drop in an RB26 and it's essentially a GTR..

Never seen a GT-4 for sale until now. $15k asking price.

sedan?

theres a build thread about it.

guys ripping out the na stuff and stuffing it full of GTR goodness

edit: oh and thinking about what shans been saying. i guess i realllyyy shouldnt go for a high maintenance car that needs a shit load of work like a datsun. thanks dickhead :D

Nah, it's a coupe. Red. Nismo kit. Just how I like my 34s :/

not quite that easy... there's a fair few expenses

Well forget the RB26. Just say I dropped in an RB25DET and made the car into a "GT-4+T" :D

I have no experience in Skylines, I only know MR2s.. but I'm guessing like $3000 for the engine. Another $2000 for labor to put it in. Then bigger brakes and stuff would probably be an idea.

Can you explain what you mean by "a few expenses"?

The engine will need to be from a stagea or a gtr or it will not fit. Well the sump wont anyways... If you think the engine and labour is going to cost you 5 grand your underbudgetting pretty badly.

landed in malaysia saturday night, place is nice as, few tuners around lol mainly civics/ accords, toyota yaris/echos, every second car here has rims and hids lol.

outside my hotel was m5, porsche 911 turbo & a porsche gt2 or3 which was mint.

Fair enough. Nevermind then :D MR2 turbo it is then.

Jizzy boy, you'll need an AWD engine for ease of transfer, but even then you'll have to change the ECU over, possibly some wiring, while you're at it you'll need to upgrade your brakes if you wanna have it engineered... oh and you'll need to get it engineered if you wanna stay legal. Not to mention it'll be an auto, and making it a manual is about the hardest swap you can do cos your choices are "R33 S2/R34 GTR gearbox", or "R32 GTR/GTS4 gearbox plus a lot of messing around".

If I were you just make mad cash moneh by selling it to some P-plater stooge that wants to jump the cool car bandwagon by buying a heavy ass non turbo. The moment you turbo it, it'll drop in value.

In short, DO NOT BUY AN AWD SKYLINE unless its a GTR. Trust me, I own one... and unless you're gonna be happy with it the way it is for as long as you have it, don't buy it.

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
