JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANY ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING A V8 INTO A 32 GTS4 OR GTR. JUST CRUIOUS TO SEE IF IT COULD BE DONE OR WOULD IT COST TO MUCH WITH HEAPS OF CUSTOM WORK. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE COOL WITH THE LOOK OF THE 32 AND THE SOUND OF A V8

sorry about the caps. i tried the search but came up with nothing so far. the main point i want to know is if a v8 would work with the 4wd system?

Nope. Not without more work than its worth.

LS1 in an R32 GTS-T RWD would be great though.

Seen a white R33 with an LS1 over here in Perth, was built by a guy that went to jail for kiddy fiddling >_<

I also found this photo somewhere on this site.. pretty sure I saw the car at Motorvation this year.. RWD 32 4door I think.

the car would be a r32 gtst or gts4, if someone knows for shore if an eight can be fitted without insane amounts of money.

the idea is to get something different with out going over the price of a good gtr, it would not be worth it otherwise.

you can make a v8 fit anything. i have seen a datsun 1200 ute with a 350 chev in it.

the length of the motor isn't the problem, its the width. there was a r33 with a v8 (i think lexus v8) at jamboree in qld this year. i think they are on this forum.

you could start with a gts instead of a gts-t, but then you would have to upgrade the diff and the brakes, but it may be cheaper to do it that way than buy a gts-t. you won't get the 4wd to work without huge money spent.

why would you out such a nice engine and spend all that money on such a shitbox 20yo car?

i wouldn't really class the rb20 as a nice engine. more like the smaller brother of a nice engine.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.

      ER34 RB25DE Auto - Would a flush ever fix an "A/T" light?

      If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
