if this is what you want to do mate i so go for it, don't let the haters put you off. there's plenty around.

im at the beginning of a similar but a little easier conversion, VR38 swap into my R34 gtt that just shat a built RB25/30 neo.

ill be running it in RWD only with a holinger 6 speed sequential RD6 from my previous setup.

ive done a fair bit of measuring and it should fit alright as a rwd application, as for AWD i think the motor needs to mount a fair bit higher to get the drive shafts to work (hence old mate from ukraine's one its up so high)

ive also been looking at the haltech ecu (plug and play) but a friend and pit guy for the just jap r35 is steering me towards the Motec plug and play.

im planning on running the drive by wire, will be adapting the r35 pedal and sensor to my car.

I Vote Sleek to take over this thread!!!

I bit my tongue for so long hoping, just hoping that there would be progress or photo's or something to prove he wasn't a 15 year old spastic.

Alas, I must say this thread is shit. Sleek needs to start his own build thread and move this to Wasteland so Birds and crew can at least make me laugh at shit.

Haltech cant run twin drive by wire throttles, only 1, may work if you buy 2 haltechs, one fro each bank/throttle. I know Emtron can run twin drive by wire and are an awesome ECU. Better off keeping the DBW throttles, better than going cable. I dont see you ever actually getting it done but good luck and I hope you do.

been down this road myself.

diff gears are ok. s14/15 r200 3.69:1 vq35hr awd (g35x) (same case as vr38) front diff gears 3.69:1 with a r34 getrag would be ok. some one i know went to the expense of getting albins custom 4.11 front diff gears made. why i dont know...

i wanted to go awd, but the extra weight and cost was to much.+ i wanted it to look standard on the outside with out a big bonnet hump.+ the steering rack will ruin your life.

as for a ecu,  a syvecs s6plus plug and play ecu is the way to go. or s8gtr plug and play. will do everything you ever need. + dont have to be bent over for a m package,

even with custom everything there isnt much room between the rails..

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
