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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
