Yes it can handle it. For a while. But they're not really strong enough and will die an early death.

Any RB25DET gearbox will do. So that's R33 or R34. 33 is push clutch, 34 is pull clutch. That's about the only effective difference.

By the way, don't do this. Sell NA to P plater. Buy turbo car. Much less hassle unless you have spent heaps of $$ on the car already. You need brakes and an LSD.

By the way. This has been covered a trillion times before. Is searchable topic.

Thank you and sorry I just joined. Yes I've spent quite a bit on it already so im a bit reluctant to sell. I bought a turbo 4dr for 2k so I'll be swapping everything from brakes and lsd but it's auto so I will be selling that ( car was stolen and smashed ) . Thanks again and sorry for my newbie post

I have been through this, would still advise not to, unless you are willing to swap literally every part. Not just the things you were talking about, youd be surprised how much other little differences there are, brackets etc, wiring etc that exist.

You will end up swapping everything except the interior and body panels :P

meh, a big job makes you enjoy your work once it's finished. and if you love the car there's no way around it

the right amount of work does this. which I would say falls into the category of owning and modifying and maintaining a GTST/GTT etc.

This sort of thing (n/a - turbo etc etc) falls into the category of ultra tedious, more time working on it than driving it, endless gremlin pursuits and troubleshooting, more money than expected, and in the end its a registration/defect sticker abortion worth fk all.

I cant ever see this being worth it.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
