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....?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
