hey guys,

I have a r32 gtr and i'm on my p's and want to make it non turbo

the rb26 is missing the top end so i have a rb25de out of a r33 s2

and i wanted to run the 4wd system including the gtr gearbox and i have run into trouble as the 4wd sump wont bolt up to the rb25

Lol one of these threads again, how long will it take for p platers to learn!

Please, please, please sell your GTR, NOW. Poor car, don't even dare try to do said modifications to such a great car. Buy an r32 2dr gts4, and molest that how you want, but for the love of god, don't touch that poor GTR!

Ok now in all seriousness, why would you want to do such a thing? Clearly you have no idea what you're doing, and the modifications you have suggested are wayyyy beyond what you are capable of. No the rb25 won't bolt up the 4wd sump, and no, you can't just wack a set of rb25 pistons/rods etc into a 26 block. Not to mention it's completely pointless because the car will be registered as a twin turbo and it's still illegal for you to drive. Honestly, when will people learn! You can't just rip a turbo off a turbo motor with no other worK, and expect it to run like a dream...

Why don't you buy a non turbo to start off with?

Better question still, why do you want a non turbo gtr???

Gts4 r32s are cheap as and are still 4wd. Not sure if they come in non turbos, but I'm sure just a regular r32 gts will do for p plates.

Please take our advice and don't be an idiot with that gtr...

Save your money and buy a gtr when you get off your Ps...

Your project has one major flaw. The car is still 110% illegal

The car is still build plated as a turbo, the car is therefore illegal, simple as that.

Regardless of if the car "has" a turbo on it or not is irrelevant for the purpose of legalities.

This has been covered countless times now so please spend the time reading all the information that is here.

What do you mean by "the rb26 is missing the top end"???

Have you actually taken the rb26 out? Or is this 16yo theory??? (Is it school holidays again...?)

If you do want to do this, you need to get an rb25 from a stagea or 33 gts4. Both cars are AWD and will bolt in the same as a 26.

If you do get the swap done, wired up and running a few things will happen:

1. You will go through fuel like crazy

2. You will breed a whole new group of lancer/corolla drivers who firmly believe they can beat a GTR

3. You will still be paying huge insurance

4. You will de-value your car

5. You will be laughed at from the wider skyline community

Why don't you grab $10k and burn it.... it's alot quicker.

Or... buy a really nice r32 gts with an NA rb25 and have some fun with that? Then keep saving for the costs of owning a GTR.

J.

garage it, sell it what ever

buy an NA or try and get an exemption for an R32 GTST sedan

and thats pretty much it

if you still want to drive a GTR, keep a tub of lube in the back so the cops have an easier time invading your rectum

Moved to Victoria.........its slightly more appropriate there than the Projects section given your location and the responses that i know are coming...........enjoy!

Throwing meat into a cage of lions :P

Yer man i think that everyone here will tel you the same story. Doesn't seem "smart" what you are doing. Just get an N/A and once you are off the p-plates jump into the GTR.

If i was that keen on a GTR i would just take the p-plates off and hope for the best lol cause either way you are stuffed!

Oh no, please don't do it. That will be one slow ass GTR, the S2 33 the RB25 came out of will even rape you no problem. Just get a 4 Door 32 and do tasteful sneaky mods to it and it will be quick.

If you do it though, please come down to my hood so my bro can race you in his Astra, it has chrome, its fast.

Look for a BMI dvd or youtube that has a girl who built an NA RB20 with 6 open throttle bodies trumpet style (?), the bloody thing REV and scream like crazy, sounds awesome.

look guys i know you are all against this but at the end of the day i already own the gtr and i have a r32 gts with a rb20de but why would i spend all the money on th gts to make it look like a gtr and it's not worth shit, and i dont see any gts4 non turbos... i don't give a shit about the car being plated as a turbo so what its plated as a turbo but at the end of the day its only a non turbo gts powered car that has the stopping of a gtr,

say if you had a vk plated as a v8 with a six they wont touch you...

say you had a mazda rx3 but you put a piston in it they still wont touch you...

my mate has a r33 gtst but has a rb25de in it they dont touch him cos it dosen't have the power of what the plate says...

They won't touch joo!

I think you just summed up what you should do.... Since you have a R32 GTS, why don't you just spend that extra money you saved up and upgrade the brakes and suspensions.

Do it I'll even run it up on my dyno for you so you can show your mates that your gtr make all of 60 kw at he wheels. Even a clapped out high km stock gtr will make 150 at the treads.

Take everyones advice park it up or sell it and drive the gts.

Also the barke power of a gts will be more than enough for a gts unless you plan on building a high as fk comp rb25 with massive cams and itb's then you may have to put a good set of pads and rotors on the factory calipers.

By all means give us a call and we can do it for you.

I must repeat,

I have one suggestion, stop smoking crack...

It's bad for you honestly.

What is with kids these days, I swear they're getting more stubborn than before!

Ash, I'm surprised you haven't lock this thread sooner.

Drive the GTS around till you are off your Ps.

"Park" the GT-R and put money into modding it - the money you spend in converting to an RB25DE and re-converting it back to an RB26 (original engine) once you are off your Ps can buy many mods - with less hassle - which sometimes does not have a dollar value....

Once you are off your Ps you will have a modded GT-R ready to go....

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
