R34 Gt Questions

I've been looking at some upgrades for my GT,


From what i can see there is some differences between mine and the GTT model.


Coilovers - mine are eye type rather than fork type in the GTT, have been reading coilovers for an R33 GTST Are the ones to get for my car is this correct?


Adjustable arms - are any of the other suspension arms and components different in mine compared to the GTT, For example adjustable camber arms I've been looking at.


Diff - I've also been looking at specifically a Kaaz 2 way diff, is the the diff housing the same and i can just purchase a 2 way for a GTT for my car?


Driveshafts/brakes - are these also the same between the two model's? maybe the best thing is to grab a complete rear subframe with brakes and all arms from a GTT and put it in my car and then use the proper r34 coilovers.


Any help is greatly appreciated

All of this information is already available on these forums. By searching.

But for nom nom spec spoonfeeding value.....

Coilovers. Yes.

Arms. All the same.

Diff. All R200 housings will swallow all R200 centres, with only a few confusing exceptions that you won't have to worry about.

Driveshafts. No. You have 6 bolt (3x2) axles, the same all all the shittier Skylines and Silvias. Turbo Skylines have 5 bolt flanges and tougher CVs. GTRs have beefy 6 bolt flanges and are tougher again.

Brakes. No. NAs have shitty sliding caliper brakes. GTTs have opposed pistons. You wouldn't put the rear brakes from a turbo on a car that has NA brakes at the front. But you can fairly freely swap all of them. Note that R34s have bigger caliper bolts than all earlier Skylines, which will make it harder to mix/match outside of the 34 breed.

Oh i have been searching, but as i'm sure your well aware there is a million different posts on a hundred forums all with conflicting answers so its nice to get a knowledgeable answer to a specific question, :happy:

Plan is to swap over as much as the good stuff as i can, that would include the full brake setup. Best bet seems to be to find everything from the back end of the GTT in one go and get it all in there. Since i do plan on an eventual engine swap id like to make sure everything else is prepared first and doesn't start to fall apart with the extra power.

Buy gtt. Job done.

If that was an option i wouldnt be asking these question's. :no:

Would i be correct in saying if i grab myself, hub's, break setup, driveshafts and rear diff from the gtt i can go ahead and bolt these into my subframe without issue?

Where the propshaft bolt's too the diff is the same or different again?

Also, there are possibly a couple of traps for you here. I know that GTT diffs have 2 code rings for the ABS/traction control. One on each output shaft. What I do not know is whether the NA diffs have these, of if they have a single rear sped sensor off the side of the housing like some of the earlier/shittier offerings from Nissan. Or if they have none. I'm guessing none is not really an option as most of these cars should at least have had ABS.

The reason that this is important is that you can't change the sensor arrangement for the ABS/TCS computer. It will have a panic attack.

Please take some photos of the rear end of your car (from underneath) if you want any advice on which of a couple of options is the best for you to go forward with.

Tailshaft same.

As I said above, and just in case you were still considering it.....do not put rear turbo brakes on unless you do the fronts too.

Frank. What country are you in?

No the plan is to swap everything over, i wouldnt be putting on the rears without the front's. Ill grab a couple pictures of underneath for you tomorrow.

Im in ireland. Appreciate the help.

Good stuff. Get as much detail on the diff housing as possible. In particular where the driveshafts connect to the flanges on the sides (where 2x speed sensors would be), the right hand side of the housing (where a single speed sensor would be), whether or not it has a rear anti-roll bar, and any other detail you can capture.

The other trap that just occurred to me is that your NA rear subframe probably doesn't have HICAS. The GTT subframe will. HICAS is gayer than a Liberace performance, so you definitely do not want that. It may in fact be smarter to retain your NA subframe. On my R32 I went to the trouble of getting a non-HICAS subframe so I could do a total HICAS delete.

Ok until i can get it onto a lift I've got some questionable shots of underneath.

What i can see:

- No hicas.

- No arb.

- single speed sensor on right hand side is where it should be.

- 6 bolt shafts as you said.

Best i can do for now are these:

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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?
