So i have converted a r33 gtr gearbox to rwd in my r32gtst and i need to know what configuration works best with tailshaft and whether i go 1 or 2 piece ?

or can i use the standard rear half of r32 gtst tailshaft and use the front half of gtr tailshaft as 1 ?

Can the tailshaft be solid eg as it is going to be a flange on both sides as oppose to yoke on 1 side that allow movement

Whatever you do is going to be a custom bitsa. The GTSt has a universal joint flange on the pinion of the diff, the GTR has a CV type flange. So if you go two piece, you'll need to use the back half of the GTSt tailshaft. I don't know for sure whether the centre bearing is in exactly the same place on both GTSt and GTR. Assuming it is, then it may be possible to just connect the front half of a GTR tailshaft to the back half of the GTSt one. If there's any differences, then you'll need to get a custom front half made up with whatever length and joints are needed.

If you go one piece, then it will be GTR connection at the front and GTSt at the rear. But there's no room for length errors in this case.

It's more than likely that you'll have the easiest result by staying 2 piece.

Indeed , Do you know if the gtst4 have the drive train layout as the gtst ? as if they do then i should be able to use the gtr or gtst4 complete tailshaft and diff and drive shaft.

i need to buy a 2 way diff any way so if they are they same then ill just run a gtr 2way/ drive shafts and tail shaft

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
