Ok so, One of the cars I currently have is a R34 GT (aka non turbo) and it's also tiptronic (boo - But nice for "friendly" driving) ... I'm considering purchasing a Rb26dett from a R32gtr or maybe a r33gtr ... it would come with tranny, turbos engine and all major bits.. (Happy to transplant the transmission into my R34 to make it manual)

My question is - Is it possible to swap the engine into my R34 without INSANE costing? ... what would be involved? ... can anyone think of any parts that I might need? ... has anyone done it before that can give insight? .... and finally, can anybody recommend anywhere in WA that is capable of doing it without making a huge debacle of it. (Please don't recommend Xspeed.)?

Cheers :)

How much cash do you have?

Because i cannot see you getting away with less than 8-10k in all honesty.

As to get it legal you'll need to change the brakes over, which means going 5-stud also as its too time consuming with 4-stud

Then there are issues with the single spinner diff - gearbox isnt a straight swap

etc etc.

Better off just selling and buying a GT-T with a RB25NEO

Will work out cheaper and you can still get 260-280rwkw safely with minor mods.

IMO putting an aged 26 in, is going backwards.

Also not sure about WA laws - but over here you cannot put an OLDER motor into a NEWER chassis.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
