R34 Gtt Rwd, To Gtr Awd Conversion

[godsmind]

Hi all

It's been half a year since I have done the conversion. I thought it might be worth to share some of the experiences gained from the conversion.

I had been planing this conversion for 2-3 years, and read endless amount of info through out the 2 years period and gather parts over the 2009 period.

The conversion itself was done 100% by myself, mechanical, eletrical, eletronic, hydraulic, and even Tunings. parts are souces from veries places, here, Yahoo japan, Ebay, and even firesports. Where ever cheap and good.

Brought the R34 GT-T auto last year and stripped the drive line and replaced it with the R34 GTR 6 speed V-spec 2 drive line (including the 4WD computer) over the Xmas period. I was lucky enough to get hold of the drive line off a 30k wracked car off yahoo (spot on compression readings). Took me 15 days from the raising the car first till the engine fired up. and 10 days to finish off the remainings. Ovbiously alot of swearing and cursing over that period but Overall it was nice and quick.

The car's exterior remained bone stock at the moment but it will be converted to a Z tune body latter on. runing 0.5 bar boost with R32 Power FC, I will be runing 1-1.1 bar latter on when I have strengthen the chassis. Exact KW? I duno because I tuned the car on the freeway

Unforunately I stopped taking photos in the pass few months however if people intersted I will keep this topic alive and keep uploading the pics

Anyway.....Enjoy the pics

6Speed gearbox

[jjman]

Holy F&*kballs you're a champion. I cant even imagine how hard that would be.

nice work...

[BrynDETT]

how are u running .5bar when r34's run 1 bar standard?

[godsmind]

1. Getrag 6 speed just landed.

2. Gearbox and engine mouned, on front cross member, Custom wiring are pre-done Including the 4wd wiring and the ABS...took me 2-3 weeks in total to convert it for R32/33 Wiring configurations.

3. Another shot on the wiring and when I was trying to line up the gearbox with the engine.

4. the back side.

[godsmind]

1. Wiring at night

2. engine arrived.

3. My garage

4. The car

[godsmind]

1. Injetor rewired

2. Custom Loom connector

3. More Wiring

4. Engine sitting on bricks

5. Refering to manual

6-9, Cradle and V-spec diff

[godsmind]

1. wheels and suspensions off

2. Supporting the diff (BAD IDEA )

3. Bolts Losen

4. Diff fall.....and crushed my figer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Dont do it!

5-7 New Diff install......and have the custom HICAS loock inplace

8.

[godsmind]

1. RB25 in place , for now

2-3. NOW it is stripped.

4-5. Two brothers........

6. RB25 Loom

7. Pervious Interior

8-10. engine going in

11. Engine inplace-----YIIhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[godsmind]

Pitures arent really in order,..

1. R34 gtr front cross member

2. Doing up the gearbox boot.

3. V spec cluster......16000 KM on the clock!!!!!!!! Near new car.

4. Dash installed.

5-9. Opening hole for Intercooler piping.

10. BOV install.....off R32 gtr YES i know it is OOOOOLD....

11,12 Tein Mono Flex street shocks.....I love it...!!!!!!

you are a legend mate. great project. it's been a popular one over the years as some people quite liked the 34 4door look but wanted GTR driveline in the 4 door body. seems like a good plan to start with a fairly cheap auto R34 sedan and stick in a 34 GTR driveline.

why the switch to 32/33 wiring/ecu/ignition etc? just for ease of bits etc?

well done mate. you're a brave man to take it on and I'll be the result is lots of fun.

[godsmind]

how are u running .5bar when r34's run 1 bar standard?

I have a pressure regulator in place and pipe back the eceesive boost back to the entrance.

Thanks for the comment mate . This is actually a 2 door R34 skyline. I have redrilled the holes on the front Chassis and cut out a fairly big section on the driver side floor pan to accomondate the GTR drive line.

The reason I am running R32/33 wiring is they dont have the Nissan Anti Thief system which imobilizes the ECU if you dont have the currect GTR key........No reason to play around with that and protentially will give me alot of problem down the track, hince i converted it.

The 32/33 loom is much much simpler.

[Beer Baron]

ahh, yeah anti theft. you know if you buy a 34 Power FC it disables the anti theft system? it's actually not very complex but I can see why you'd go that way to avoid it.

[godsmind]

HA didn't know that, I thought the R34 PFC is so call 'complete replacement'? So i assumed the Anti thief was functional too. Anyway what is been done is done:) Only a few wire re-pin anyway.

[Beer Baron]

yeah it's a complete replacement ecu which means once you remove the factory ecu the car no longer has the anti-theft capabilities. easy way for fkers to steal R34s I guess... the stock nissan security is pretty weak anyway. but yeah it's no biggie to swap between 32/33 and 34 type wiring/ign/ecu set-up.

Awesome project godsmind. I'd be interested to see how much clearanc ethere is between the front driveshafts and the chassis rails, as I know the GTT-GTR front rails are different.

[godsmind]

Got some stuff Tidy up. Fitted the hard pipe as the old rubber crap was leaking. Tweaked the boost to 1 bar and retuned.

As for the front sub-frame. I pack it up by using a couple of 4mm plates to give clearance to the shaft. Mainly is the right shaft, Left shaft is fine. But I will be fabricating the subframe mounting point and start cutting into the chassis rail for the proper geometry.

Here are some of the pics.

1.Momo Steering wheel.

2. custom gearbox mounting bracket. and FC logit data hub.

3. custom gearbox mounting bracket. and FC logit data hub.

4. Fujisubo 3" exhaust

5. R34 V spec 4wd Hydraulic pack. With industrial grade hydraulic pipe and fittings (rated 4400 PSI burst pressure >_<doubt the pack can get a quarter of pressure)

6. Boot custom wiring for the 4wd/ABS computer.....god took me VERY long to find the damn plug into the damn thing.

7. Relays for 4wd and A-lsd

8. Engine bay. New intercooler pipe fited.

9. Took the air-cond out, never gonna run it anyway. Fitted r33 intercooler due to smaller size for better response.

10. gtr bumper

1.Just came back from tuning

2. Wideband O2 sensor controller

3. Custom adaptor for quick connection between the O2 controller and O2 sensor when I need to do tunning.

4. Wiring when i do tuning on the road

5. Wideband O2 connector

6. Apexi Boost controller

7. Engine Bay

8. Front subframe shot. The chassis rail is just cleared the pipe by packing it with 2x4mmm plate. Will start to cut the rail and do it properly when i got some time and motivation.

9. The car....

10. Getrag 6speed. industrial grade hoses
