Hi all, I'm currently driving a R33 GTS (N/A) and intended to get a RB26DETT from a R34. Do anyone of you guys know where I can do this upgrade or who can help me with this subject? By the way, approximently how much is needed for the upgrade? It's my 18 months for the R33. Thanks for all the help I can get.

Yeh u could call hyperdrive in malaga i think www.hyperdrivems.com.au or any performance workshop.

Dont take this the wrong way but i think ure wasting ure time. *shrugs* its not worth the trouble. Putting an r34 engine in a car doesnt make it an r34. Unless of course its an r34 :mellow:

Oh and id say ud want to be putting aside $10k at least for this conversion.

Biggest problem would be the gearbox, tailshafts, diff, suspension and brakes would all be suited to alot less powerful engine. That means you'd have to replace everything mentioned.

Smells like expensive to me...

I'm thinking of changing engine, suspension, brakes, AWD, and gearbox first. After changing the main parts, then continue with the engine upgrade.....:P Anyway, need some advice because I'm going to break all the process down (DUE TO HIGH COST) but want to know which part can be change first and which must be change along with other parts such as engine?

How bout u change ure mind and buy a GTR straight out :P It gonna be cheaper. and u will get better result.

Sure it would be interesting to see how u go. But on that note its also interesting to watch ppl set themselves on fire. :P

guys, help this bloke out. All he is doin is asking for advice. Contact hyperdrive or c-red or xspeed. They can give you an extimate, but be sitting down when they give ya estimates. Show them your serious and they will no doubt be readi to help you out. try pm gtrken and see what he has too say about it.

Im trying to help him out, i jsut dont believe that its feasible at all.

Things to consider:

Gearbox will not fit must be made to.

Diff will not be easy, there are about a million litte sensors int eh attessa diff such as lateral g sensors, diff sensors, driveshaft sensors the list goes on. While the chassis is the same the wheel base/track is different from the car those sensors are designed to be in so that going to be very interesting.

Brakes and susp are another 3-4k easy.

To top it off the car will be practically uninsurable and u will miss out on gooodies like better seats and instument clusters. It wont look like a GTR on the outside unless u make it in which case it will look like u have riced it up.

But yeh after all that if ure still keen id give the guys above a call. they are all in teh phone book or just google it

Madness, anythings possible if you have an unlimited budget

The 4wd chassis have different front chassis rails to accomodate the front drive shaft access to the front wheel hubs so add in a matter of body building. Supply of parts and fitting I dont think somewhere in the 20k area isnt far fetched. eng box clutch rear cradle brakes efi wire then body wire body mods bulk labour hrs, banannas

as for help booster and jimi giving a splash of realism should be taken as a gift, as for "not having money for gtr etc this conversion would be a "all at once" deal, one hard $ hit. Id want to be clear I wanted to do this before asking for a quote as it may take the supplier a few hrs to write up accuratley

have fun

ok siaw i will put your idea into a more understandable way...

what you want to do is put a 19 yr old young heart into a 90yr old tired body... the young heart will put stress on the rest of the body as all the other parts will not take it...

then you are saying lets change the knee caps and ankles to 19yr olds as well...

it will have problems and break later on...

at the end of the day if it was easy and cheap why wouldnt everyone be driving RB26 GTSt?

i think this is what everyone is trying to say...

also if done half proper you will never be able to sell your car...

Though it may sound like an easy process to install a massive turbo the 2 engines are not the same internally and stuff still has to be changed, no to mention the new ECU.

Im making a guestimate of around $5-7k to install a turbo properly.

I think Jimih suggesting is prolly what u will have to do if u want a turbo. The problem with any conversions or even modifications are the teething problems, alot of this stuff u cant just bolt on and needs litte extras here and there.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
