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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
