I own a R33 GTS (RB25DE) and awaiting a R33 GTST (RB25DET) front cut, with front and rear brakes, rear diff, gearbox, which should arrive near the end of July or some time in august.

I was going to do it all myself but I've started a new job recently and don't know how much time I'm going to have when tafe goes back. I've been told its a straight forward conversion (take out/drop in) and shouldn't take more than 3 days to do.

If any one could suggest where to go to get the conversion installed cheaply, quickly and carefully. I went to my local mechanic he said he could do it, but he said it would take him a while to do it and didn't know how much it

would cost all up.

My engine gearbox and everything I don't need will also be up for grabs once the conversion is done, may be able to work something out, if the place is interested in parts.

Thanks, Michael

Yeah I know, I’ve got the hubs and brakes as well and a set of stock rims

though I’m going to try and keep 4 stud by redrilling the rotors as i think my rims will have enough clearance for the callipers

Definitely do not go down that road ^ If you are going to pay someone else to do the work find someone who has actually done this conversion before. They will know exactly what is involved and will give you realistic estimate on total cost.

I'm guessing the cheapest quote from from some local mechanic could end up costing the most and taking the longest time to complete.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
