Grunta, I'm not sure about the ECU on the GTT vs NA on the Auto models. From my understanding you still need to run engine management? Someone might want to clarfiy that.

How much are RB25DE's worth for resale? I'm just thinking what the cost for you would be to Buy half cut, deliver it, remove old engine, install new engine, then whatever else still needs to be done after that; vs keeping your engine, even still removing it and doing internal engine work. I'm not sure exact costs, but would that not be rather close to that of complete engine swap? A rebuilt GT-V I think would be better than simply swapping over for a DET, if you're looking at removing the engine.

havent you forgotten to list pistons ? you need low compression pistons, otherwise using the standard high compression pistons that NA's have will just F*&k ure engine VERY quickly.. although i h

i have a 1993 r32 gts with a rb20det conversion. i bought it this way so i dunno whats been done. power seems sweet up until 5000rpm, where it seems to hit some flat spots in power from there onwards.

hey i just though i would go back a little bit and add something in, in relation to drilling the oil return line into the block a way of getting around this would be to buy an oil cooler and run the o

Well I'm almost ready to have it all put in!

Just waiting on FMIC and catch can to arrive, then need to try get a factory BOV or cheap but good plumback and pod filter.

I also believe that I will need a silicon aftermarket or factory induction pipe that goes to the turbo inlet...or can the factory one be modified to suit?

Also any recommendations for tuning places? I think Robin said he usually sends them over to APC, something close to slacks creek would be ideal to get it all done together.

How driveable is an RB25DE+T without having the tuning and timing adjustments done straight away?

^ driving it straight away without any tuning or timing would be highly not recommended.

ecu will be running nuts with all the extra air & shiet coming thru..

will a stock manifold from a R32/33 fit on a R34 neo?

Yeah the figures can add up quite quickly, but it depends on where you get parts from. Keep a look out on ebay as well, I've seen some R34 Neo model turbos going recently, and even saw a set of neo injectors listed at $20 starting! Check the for sales here as well, always bargains keep coming up, and on NS.

I decided to see how I go with a Monsta Performance Delta Fin Intercooler. They sell on ebay for $350+$54, but lately they've done some starting at 1cent. I didn't have much luck the first time fighting over it in the last minute, but second time around I picked it up for $252 plus $54, for a full kit. For what it's worth I'll see how it goes.

I'll probably get it done at PerFourMance motorsport in Slacks Creek, pretty sure there's tuning places around there, it's like performance heaven down there lol Hopefully getting it from workshop to tuner won't be too much of a problem then.

Robin at Perfourmance said he usually sends them over to APC, which is about 1.9kms away. Then again, a brief search spat out some not so favourable results, so now I'm really not sure of where to go.

I'm still getting to know the places around Brisbane to get work done, so I'm really open to suggestions. I don't want to break the budget in labour, but I'd rather spend a little more if I need to and get quality work done..specially when it comes to the tuning of a RB25DE+t

I'm probably going to proceed with the conversion either before or after xmas. I want to take a trip back down to the Gong for xmas though, so that's why I'm thinking after xmas. Though I've got pretty much everything in or on the way except for a BOV and pod filter, so knowing me I'll get impatient and just get it done with :D

I've been thinking of options with exhaust as well, contemplated the idea of having a 3" mandrel bend (or 2.75"??) made up with resonators and a GTR Muffler if I can get hold of a cheap one. That way I can keep the factory look and stay quiet, and I figure that the GTR Muffler should flow well enough for my needs. I'm not sure what the weight would be like though compared to an aftermarket S/S.

^ thanks nate dawg.

other things im getting are brand new; fuel pump, intercooler,exhaust etc

No worries man

I picked up my Walbro GS342 on ebay for $145 posted from http://stores.ebay.com.au/PERFORMANCE-WORLD-STORE:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=320308878704

They are super quick with postage. I bought it on a sunday, had it delivered to work, it was on my desk when I got there!

As for intercoolers, I got one of these Monsta Intercoolers on ebay http://stores.ebay.com.au/MonstARetailCentral.

For the price I'm willing to see how they go:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=220294349334

They do one listing at a time starting at 1cent. Or you can choose the buy it nows, works out around $400ish posted. I got mine $304 all up in the end, it's a bit of a fight bidding for it in the last few minutes though.

Exhaust, unless you can pick up a second hand one, just get a custom one made up. Mr XTC might have a 3" catback for sale if he doesn't give in to doing the turbo conversion :/

      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

      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.
