Hey Guys,

I have an R34 25GT-Four Automatic and I wanted to convert it to R33 GTR or R34 GTR Manual Transmission and RB26 Engine. Is this possible or too costly? My apprehension is that will not fit because of the differentials.

would be an alternative solution, the original five-speed transmission from the GT-Four? how much torque keeps it from?

With best regards

Kevin

Urgh.

The answer for most of these types of questions is that it's almost always cheaper to just buy a GTR.

That's pretty serious conversion work when you factor in your going to have to upgrade hubs, brakes, suspension to make it somewhat safe.

If your dead set on converting it, then get a drivetrain from a series 2 C34 stagea, or preferable a whole wreck. That will get you a RB25det neo, 5spd manual, the diffs, 5stud hubs etc.

I know that it is almost as expensive as a GTR, but I can control the cost and say now is good enough for me and I can closing the converison.

as an alternative I thought of the Manual 5-speed transmission from the GT-Four

Does anyone have experience with the 5-speed transmission from the GT-Four? How much maximum power / torque it can

Would you be doing all the work yourself? Then maybe, just.

Otherwise, not worth it. I got my 34 auto converted to manual, it runs great but chasing the parts and even a workshop who was willing to do the conversion was a major headache. Expensive, too. Save up, sell yours, and then buy what you actually want ;)

The ENR34 GT Four manual has the same gearbox as R32/33 GTR models, which is the same as C34 AWD stageas. So it will take the same power as GTR owners are making. Someone with more experience will have to chime in, but they generally take anything up to high 300s low 400kws reliably.

I dunno about the diffs, I think the GT-four has shorter ratios....?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
