Hi guys.

I'm looking into doing a driveline and engine conversion for my R34 GT-T II

I'm currently sorcing an R34 vspec as it is easier to swap everything over. probably going with a front and rear half cut. If there are any uncommon issues that anyone knows of, please feel free to let me know as i haven't sorced the bits yet and this is my first conversion :)

I'm not doing it myself, but the mechanic has only had a mild amount of experience with jap cars.

I've done some research and found a thread done by "godsmind" and while this was helpful, it didn't have all the info i needed.

So my main question for now is, how can i control the ATTESA-ETS Pro system? i know the 32 is as easy as ripping a fuse to disable the front wheels, but the 34 is more complicated that i have the brain power for lol

does anyone know of a controller system that will enable me to turn the front drive on or off without damaging anything?

cheers in advance :D

^^ This man speaks the truth

AFAIK only the R32s can be changed with taking out the fuse but the 33s/34s will need to take out the driveshalfs to properly disable the power to the front

By the time u change everything and making it work, it would be better just buying a GTR that has already had all these

so you are transferring the entire running gear including front diff and attessa system ?

it would probably be cheaper to change the shell swap from your GTT over to a GTR chassis

waste of time and money, but some people are not short of either

You do realise your entrusting a mechanic with "mild jap car experience" with what could very well be a $40,000+ project.

Just buy a GTR or if you want to take a short cut drop a 26 into a GT-FOUR and save the countless headaches, time and money.

all i can say is buddy if your keen, cashed up, patient, got the will too see it through nobody here should stop,

its your car after all, all we do here is provide you with our opinions and even though probably just buying a GTR all together is a cheaper way of doing it, but hey

i have not liston'd at all lol i own an R34 GTfour 2 door coupe with attesa awd from factory swapped it with an RB25 DET neo 2wd motor made a sump conversion plate for the awd sump (hell i know what your all thinking wtf man should have just bought an RB26 or rb25 from a stagea) running the stagea S2 ECU loom and fusebox, and also running Stagea s2 auto tiptronic box with a custom exhaust manifold plate to mount the Standard R34 gtr manifolds and standard Vspec turbos,

im in the process of wiring shit at the moment.

but yeah don't let anyone stop you like i said and even godsmind if you got the cash the time the patience some beer and a couple mates to help you out here and there, the experience and the satisfaction of making something yourself that's unique is a good feeling...even though you blown a ton money lol

anythings possible

but yeah good-luck if your gonna do it!

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
