would it be worth it if I got my fuel injectors cleaned for $100

and do you know if a gtt solid shift kit would fit in a gt gearbox and if not is there a solid shift kit for a gt

Unlikely

Absolutely not.

New suspension bushes, MCA street performance/ultimates and decent tyres would be all that is needed suspension wise. R34 gtt brakes with HEL braided lines, good fluid and new pads(Elig, Intama are affordable good options). No need for fancy rotors. 

No point doing a shift kit. New trans filter and fluid will be noticeable and keep it going. 

As has been said recently learn from others that have spent the time and money doing it. 

I can see you've made another thread for a GTT engine and Gearbox.

Probably get the driveshaft too, while you're at it.

Given you have a N/A, you should know you have basically got a S15 rear end - So consider getting a helical LSD when you can. All of the GTT stuff/upgrades won't fit, ever. As for the driveshaft, I'm not entirely sure. If the DET gearbox is bigger, is it bigger in all dimensions? Are the flanges the same? Will the driveshaft fit?

You will find data saying it will, it won't, or not sure. Only sure fire way is to check. This will apply to literally every part you attempt to put on a NA car considering parts for GTT are aftermarket. So much stuff goes along the lines of:

You: Will this fit my car?
Internet: Yes, absolutely, it fits Skylines
You: Will this fit my R34?
Internet: Yes, all skylines are the same
You: But, R33 and R34 are different, will it fit the 34?
Internet: Yes, it will fit the 33 and 34 because this part is shared
You: [doubt]. What about R34 series 1, vs Series 2? What about Turbo vs N/A
Internet: ghosts

One thing's for sure though, do not spend one cent on the non turbo engine, or non turbo gearbox.
At least you don't have HICAS though!

The main thing the point is, there's so much stuff to do (how about you replace EVERY suspension bush?) to keep you busy by the time you want to touch the motor at all you'll be well and truly over it. If you start doing the maths sooner rather than later you could just go buy a V8 mustang or literally any other superior car by the time you're done and of age to legally drive it.

Expect to pay twice as much and put double the work in to get a car about 90% as good lol.
 

The hard truth is everything you have done, thus far, from when you first bought the GT to where it is now, even if you literally sprayed every panel yourself, learned how to spray paint, bought all the gear, personally massaged and sanded every panel by hand..

Is like 5% of the total amount of work to get a project like this done.
People aren't being haters, they've just done the other 95% and wouldn't recommend it again lol.

Nah what im saying is I’ll put a turbo neo in and just take of the turbo and intercooler 

In Queensland you can apply for a moderately powered vehicle exemption for a un modified  car. Putting a DET engine minus turbo into a GT is actually illegal to drive on your P's and you won't get an exemption for it. Putting a full DET engine into a GT same deal. The only turbo skylines you can get exemptions for as I understand it is R32 Gtst and R33 gtst. Again, doing a turbo engine into a non turbo one, no exemption as its modified.

 

So as others have said, buy a shitbox for the next 3 years, save your money and buy a GTT. they come with all the other good bits anyway

Ok thanks guys

am going to slowly but intelligently adapt it to a gtt standard

suspension, brakes, drivetrain

and then when I get full open license throw in an actual rb25det neo with its turbo

?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
