ok peep i have read and taken in whats said on this sight

my issue is

i have access to a r34 n1 (vspec) engine and all associated elecs from a front cut

i want to put it into my r32 gtr and restore it back to a streetable package

i know there are a few wiring cam and cas differences

however i was wondering can i use the r34 loom and ecu ect in the 32 without to much trouble?

what would be invoved / any wiring mods? ect

i will be using the 32 box and clutch

any relevant attached posts / links would be greatfull

Links for what mate?

You simply use the entire R34 GTR ignition system. coil/CAS to loom to ECU.

If you need further information above that then your going to struggle to do a conversion at all!

Pull it out of one, put it into the other. you have a front cut so it's all there!

Ash are you forgetting that the ECU loom plugs into the body loom as well?

Ive no experience on this directly but im assuming that the 34 ECU loom wouldnt plug into the 32 body loom.

In GTS/t, the 32, 33, 34 these plugs are all different.

You would be better off using a 32 CAS, sensors and Ignition systems with the 32 ECU loom dude.

Unless I'm recalling this very badly from when i did mine...

the loom goes from ECU plug to where you plug in the coil pack loom. My one from Nissan came as one complete part. The body loom should be plug and play as the GTR loom was almost perfectly plug/play into my HR31.

So assumption is GTR to GTR would be identical?

I'm only saying what i am as he wants to use 34ecu and loom, so its literally a swap in/swap out job. take a couple hours at best.

i would use your R32 ignition setup (coils, ignitor and harness). use your 32 ecu and harness. Keep the R34 cas (as 32 cas won't match the 34 drive on the cam snout) but you need to swap 2 wires around to get it working with the 32 ecu. simple as that.

other than that there are a few little differences. top radiator pipe on the engine is different. bolt your 32 one onto the 34 engine. that's about it off the top of my head.

much easier this way.

oh, put your R32 sump onto the 34 engine too. otherwise you will have one major problem. the 34 front gearing is massively different to the R32, so if you use the 34 diff and sump you'll end up with different ratios front and rear. with both engines out of the car it's easier to just swap sumps rather that set up the old 32 diff into the 34 housing. and there is no advantage in using the 34 sump over your 32 one. same goes for the diff centre, they are both open diffs, just with different crown wheel to pinion ratios.

definately not true. the hr31 body plug is massively different to later skylines. your confusing it for something else, or your car was already modified. afaik every model has a different plug to suit its own electric package

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
