Hello all, I have been on the site for a while now but this is my first post really. I currently drive an R34 GTT and live in the UK and I am looking at doing a top mount turbo conversion on my GTT. I have got most of the parts but I still need to find a few final bits and I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help.

My main problem is Forged Pistons, Over here in the UK company’s don’t list any pistons for the R34GTT and the ones that do say they are the same as the R33 GTST but I have also been told by other R34 owners who have put in R33 pistons not to bother because they are different and if I do my engine will last about 6 months before it goes pop. The only other option I have is to get a set fabricated here in the UK which will cost £1000 + VAT which is a lot of money for pistons so does anyone know of any company in Australia or anywhere for that matter that can source R34GTT forged pistons and would be willing to ship them to the UK?

Also having problems sourcing Nismo 740CC top feed injectors it seems in the UK we can only get 540cc for the R34GTT

Thanks in advance also apology’s if I have posted this in the wrong section

In regards to the injectors

Unless Nismo are making 540cc for the 2007 Nismo range, last time I checked Nismo only made 480cc for the ER34.

The other ones are only available for the R33 series RB25, ie non neo.

Im not sure which highmount your going for, but if its going to be high mounted it will most likely be a large turbo which will make a fair bit of power.

You COULD get away with the 480s but just to be safe I opted for the Sard 650cc which are a straight fit.

As far as i know R34 rb25det pistons are not the same as R33. Neo piston have smaller dome + valve reliefs.

Agreed, but ive never pulled a stock NEO apart. The combustion chambers in the head are much smaller, so the pistons must have a smaller dome to maintain the same compression.

Thanks everyone for the replys some usful information here I will start looking in to them asap. Seems this piston question will go one for ever some say they are the same as the R33 some say they are different. I just dont want to spend 4K on an engine put R33 pistons in and it only lasts 6 months because they are the wrong ones for the car.

Thanks again

I heard this is part of emission thingy... what people usually do is chuck in R33 forgies and increase gasket thickness to 15mm I think...otherwise there'll be high knock

    • My son has an R34 gt auto. I'm looking at methods on how to tune it with the view to be able to further tune it down the track when he is off his P,a and can go turbo. The issue is the 98 gt auto has a seperate TCM and is not compatible with swapping out a gtt auto nistuned pcm ( from what I have read so far ) Please if anyone has info on what to do here I would much appreciate. Realise that some options include manual swap, manualised valve body. Just hoping there is a more direct running option I haven't been able to find. Thanks in advance. 
    • Hi Everyone, I did 4.11 gears in my 34 GTR and only thing that remains is to fix the speedo reading (it reads about 15% higher) using the R33 GTR speedo sensor. Few questions:   1. Does the R33 speedo sensor fit right in to the 6sp getrag? I read it does but wanted to confirm because the speedo sensors between 33 and 34 look quite different   2. The connector on the 33 speedo sensor will not plug into the connector on the getrag. Do I just need to wire the pins together manually?  See pic: https://imgur.com/a/NTDzFe8
    • Does anyone know how I could find the part number for bolts used with  r34 with rb25detneo engine lower timing belt cover?   my timing cover was rubbed and i fixed it but upon putting the harmonic balancer i see the timing cover is almost rubbing and that is due to previous owners using general bolts and washer rather than the bolts per link below which sits inside the washer and pull the cover in   not sure if those bolts will fit rb25   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326510870741?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAB_7XZxjuciMybdVOTShCs9857686&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338723872&toolid=20006&customid=7jIl12glAAAAVfHSSnyxAmSsdRxnAAAAAA
    • If the slightly higher internal EGR caused by a high flow cat causes detonation your tuner was way, way, way too aggressive to begin with. Timing scatter is a problem unless you go to a crank trigger, winter vs summer blend has different octane, list goes on.
