Um....given that the GTS4 engine is an RB20 that hardly differs from the one in the GTSt (apart from having a different sump with the diff in it), why would you expect the engine accessories to be the same as GTR rather than GTSt? It makes sense for front suspension and other chassis parts to be the same between GTR and GTS4, but not engine parts.

the suspension is NOT gtr neither are the brakes they are gtst, however the power steering pump part numbers match to r32 gtr ones being that it is an rb20 yes however it is an awd rb20 and thus these things have been changed over, don't ask me why they just have, the diffs are also not gtr items they are 4.3's not 4.1's like the gtr. but the engine parts are due to the awd system installed.

my rb30 is fully built, spool rods, cp's 20thou over acl mains and bigs reground .25, cometic head gasket, rb25de head with 100lb springs tomei 256 cams greddy copy intake, hks 600cc's, still thinking about manifold have t4 to4e master power turbo Brazillian thing real deal, awd adaptor plate arp head and mains studs, what else obviously nistune ecu will be getting put in place still looking for good QLD turner for it around bris vegas and still thinking about the clutch as funds are becoming tight. also just installed NEW r32 gtr gearbox. and need new engine mounts thinking of nismo items aswell as nismo thermo, not sure what intercooler to run and need another radiator as i sold it to a mate.

it's not i can take a photo for you tomorrow to suffice the suspension is different,

i have the whole drivers side off right now for the engine conversion, i went to get gtr nismo suspension for it and found it's gtst

Piggaz i agree with you as i work with diesel engines and seen the stroke on them, it's just what i have ascertained through research and other peoples experience??? been told many MANY times to redline it at 7.5k i want to take it to 9k rpm or more personally, with standard crank.

ok a couple of things have changed as they do i am now going to use standard balancer and balance the F*ck outta everything, and am now using a low mount gt35r off an xr6, and have since aquired a nistune rb20 ecu but has to be remapped as the guy i bought it off only had it at 173rwkw with gtr injectors and such on rb20det due to mercury tuning it and it blew his engine :(

poor bugger.

one of my major concerns with ecu is the fact that mercury tuned it :-/ how damaged is it going to be and how leaned out is he mixture??????

Dude you can't just put an unknown ECU on your car and hope it will work, great way to pop a motor even if it is a good tune, it is tuned for another car, not yours!!

Get it tuned properly, why even bother getting an ECU if you aren't going to tune it?

You can't expect to buy an ecu and not tune it. You need to put it on a dyno anyway so while you are there you may as well pay for a tune. Not to do so would be very false economy.

oh yeah totally agree. but i am concerned with start up. primarily

trent with the r34 ecu with the IAT tables can you set up air intake ignition and fuel trim? I'd love that feature, not sure if I should just fork out for a vipec and put it in the standard case instead though.

An airflow meter adjust fuel requirements for differences in IAT.

Pretty sure the GTR ecu has IAT correction.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
