Hi guys

have done some serious work to my engine atm:

2.9L stoker kit

Neo ultimate head

Tomei 260 camshafts 

Yellow jacket coil pack

otaku garage forward facing intake plenuim with a 90mm throttle body

and I’m not even on my L plates yet

thats why I’m doing all this work so when I get my p’s I can do an actual gtt turbo not a plus t setup

so if anyone has suggestions on what I’m doing and what I could do better please let me know 

but back to my main question 

can you convert the internals of a gt gearbox to a gtt

ive heard there the same just internally different but want to be sure

and should I be upgrading diff and drive shaft

thanks jack

No. The NA gearbox is physically much smaller. Like half the size.

You don't need to upgrade either the diff or driveshafts. Not for strength reasons anyway, as the diff is the same strength as the turbo item and the axles are nearly as good. But.....you will want an LSD centre on a turbo.

Note that I said driveshafts. You said driveshaft, and it is not clear whether you meant the tailshaft or the axles. Not that it matters, as both are strong enough.

It's also not clear what the stroker kit and other parts are fitted to. The NA engine? A turbo engine in the shed? If you've done it to the NA, complete waste of time. If you've done it to the turbo, well, the yellowjackets are not a good choice, but beyond that, everything else is OK, if largely a waste of money.

You will need brakes. And, are you sure that you will be allowed to drive a turbo on your P's?

Hi mate 

yeah meant driveshafts sorry typo

and the n/a block is exactly the same as the turbo 

And do you know what ignition coils I should run

im using the n/a block as it’s the same as a det but am putting det head on top

perfect example of why not to fit that style of plenum. lost 1000rpm of response and a bucket load of power. Green is factory plenum, the others are a short runner style plenum. Bin the yellow jacket coils and get a PRP r35 coil kit.

Ok thanks

just wish the stock didn’t go over the valve covers

looks ugly and is really inconvenient when working on your engine 

and do r35 coils stick out of cover?

It's really not hard at all to remove the crossover pipe as required, which is not often.

Get split fires if you want it to all fit factory. You will have trouble with yellow jackets

But look at the peak gain! And how much cleaner the engine bay looks.

I don't like the look of most of those plenums and fitting the new plazmaman ones with engine in is a pain with the water hose/pipe underneath.

No its NOT mate, no piston oilers for a start, and past experience of these blocks found that the turbo oil supply gallery has not been drilled either, or the turbo oil drain hole as well.

Ok lol

lucky i haven’t installed anything yet

does anyone know if you can run the det neo engine without the turbo using parts of a device engine?

And just so everyone knows I’m not dumb it’s just I made a sau acct less than a day ago so am still learning 

and robbo I thought you meant put r35 coils in a rb 

that’s why I got confused

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
