hey everyone just figured id post up my project thus far.
1999 R34 GTT RB25det Neo
when i got the car is had GTR items swapped for that gtr look on exterior. (hood, bumpersn side skirts) still looking to change out front fenders and do the over quarters to finish the body conversion.
I have also decided to do the RB26 swap. keep it RWD for this summer until i can locate proper front end parts to do the AWD swap (projected to under go that next winter)
i know this project is expensive and alot of people will say why not just buy a real GTR but being from the US an R34 GT-R is almost impossible to locate. there are only a few authentic R34 GT-Rs in the us. even the R34 GTT is pretty rare find. that being said lets not make this and arguement thread on GTT and GTRs.
I purchased an R32 RB26dett and AWD trans (both from R32 GT-R) i really wanted the R32 trans so i can make it selectable 2wd 4wd. the motor from the R32 and R33 also tends to be alot more affordable here in the states. and plus i plan to do full internal build next winter so i didnt see any benefits spending twice as much on the R34 GTR motor/trans. I also have an R33 RB25det and rwd trans sitting in shop that is for my 93 240sx but im going to put that on the back burner for a while and rob needed parts off that set up to make the R34 project move a bit more swiftly.
so in the shop we have an R34 GTT with RB25det Neo/Rwd trans, RB25det from R33 w/Rwd trans, RB26dett w/Awd trans from R32. all of which have full wire harnesses and ECUs (R33 motor also has greddy Emanage Ultimate computer with greddy harness kit to plug it in)
the plan:
RB26dett R32 motor, R33 RWD trans, use motor mounts from NEO to fit the RB26 in the R34.
Current status:
R34 Neo motor is ready to come out, RB26 in on engine stand (i freshened her up a bit and fitted a few goodies on it)
PROBLEM:
Wiring!!!!!!! the Harness for the Neo in the R34 is very complex, and also seems to have alot of "body control" features tied into it.
I have seen a few people do the RB26 swap in the R34s. what do they do for harness, ECU and keeping the creature comforts in the R34???? any and all help is needed!
