Hey guys,

recently I pulled my motor out of my r31 and decided to put it into a r34. I have bought a r34 now but I would like to know the issues I may face in doing the conversion. Surely someone here has already dropped a 30 into a 34 so would be good to get some knowledge of guys who have been there done that already.

Are there any clearance or looming issues? any majors?

all information will be helpful.

thanks guys

Hey guys, the clutch issue you say? Well i have all running gear from my r31 which was initially r33 rb25det. It has a rb25de r32 head. And to answer the question it is a rb30DEt

p.s. that link pretty much advertised the car and specs, didn't have too much on the actual build or issues it had. I have basically a fully built motor ready to go in with all running gear just need to clarify what issues i might come across when doing the conversion.

I have heard there's issues with the bonnet closing with the standard "J pipe" as it fouls with the bonnet, to get around this you either have to cut the bonnet support or go front facing plenum. I'm not too keen to do either lol has anyone considered getting custom mounts to lower the engine level?

If it's RWD then you can slot the engine mounts to drop it down some.

Also the fouling I had (in my 32) was not the J-pipe, but the most forward corner of the intake plenum, and the lip of the timing belt cover.

Oh yeah so i can get away with lowering the mounts? thats a bit of a relief might even look at getting some aftermarket mounts/bushes while im at it since i will be saving the money from not going front facing.

Do you guys know if there is any major wiring issues?

Im also using a Link G4 ecu which was previously on a r32 loom, I would like to keep all the factory r34 gauges in working order to give it the "factory" appeal.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
