Hey everyone,

So this is my first post, but not my first forum. I've searched this for a while now and havent come up with anything.

I LOVE the r34. Everything about it. My plan is to get an ENR34 Coupe. I would like the AWD because 1. It's AWD ;) 2. I live in Canada, and would like the AWD because I will probably have to drive the car in snow. So I was wondering, would it be possible/practical to throw an N/A 2jzge into the r34? Or would it make more sense to save up and just turbo the RB? I don't want a lot of power, I previously drove a 2000 Acura TL (or Honda Inspire. Excuse my ignorance, I don't know if you guys in Australia go by the Japanese names or Americanized). Anyway, that car had a Vtec J32 pushed about 225hp (sorry I dont know the conversion to KW) and it wasn't the fastest, but I liked it. So I don't need Godzilla, I just love the look of the Skyline. Now I know the 2jz is a great motor that you can pull a good amount of power out of with just bolt ons. I also know the rb25 n/a is the opposite lol. So what do you guys think? 2jz with bolt ons, or low boosted rb25?

Hmm 2jz on a AWD drivetrain. Not gonna work well, gonna be dumping a load of cash. If you love the r34 so much you probably wouldnt be wanting to sabotage that nissan integrity witha 2jz. Probably better off finding a stagea with a rb25det, and doing a swap. If i were you, id probably just go r34 GTR, its not over the top powerful from factory (320hp?), In fact its actually average for a turbo charged car, it just known to have huge potential for power with minor mods/cost.

Oh I'd love a GTR but I can't afford it, and I'd probably never get insured here lol. Anyway, V28VX37, my plan is to get a factory awd skyline gt-4, id just like to know the best (and least expensive) way to get about 300hp out of it. From what I've read, it seems like its gonna be costly to get an rb25 to that point. So I thought about swapping to a faster n/a motor, again, cost factor (instead of swapping to something like 26dett. too much $$). Or, how much would I be looking at to get the rb25 to about 300hp? Bc like Deza said, I would like to keep the motor nissan ;)

I read on a thread here, that the word (including pictures) on the Stagea/AWD RB25DET is that the block is direct copy of the RB26DETT, due to the AWD sump not working with the RWD RB25DET block. Apparently the series 2 has the same rods as the RB26DETT as well.

The series 2 C34 NEO setup would be the go. 206kw (276bhp) at the crank standard. Turbo spool about 1800RPM full boost about 2200rpm with lots more potential!

Don't know what mine is putting out, but I run it at 10.5psi with a decent (GFB G-Force II) electronic boost controller, a HKS panel filter & a Kakimoto 3 1/4" cat back (way to big & not benecificial I know). Nistune is the next thing on the cards, as it's a daily.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
