Like the topic title asks guys, I've just got 2 simple questions.

1. Is the R33 and R34 GT-RS kit the same? I've got an R34 and if I buy the kit which was intended for the R33 it should still bolt up fine since they're both essentially RB25 right?

2. Given I've still got the stock turbo, if I take it out and bolt up the GT-RS using everything from HKS will it go on the same as the standard turbo (apart from the new J-pipe/Hotpipe)? i.e. Will I have to modify my dump exhaust pipe or anything else?

Thanks,

Andy

Won't have to modify dump or exhaust....but on that note, if you haven't put a 3inch front/dump on yet, when you're swapping the turbo is your perfect oportunity to do it. (and it's pretty much a 'must have' for an upgraded turbo)

I've just swapped out mine (R33) for a HKS 2535, i think it would be considered the predecessor of the GT-RS.

Perfect bolt on except i didn't have the lines (which you will)

It will be like playing with lego, grown up style. :closedeyes:

jump on nengun and you can plug your car details in and search for the turbo kit.

Do it twice, once for R33, once for R34 and see if you get the same kit and that should answer your original question.

Cheers. :(

Heres another question though. Can the GT-RS or GT2530 be bolted up using the stock oil/water lines? Or do new ones needed to be made up? :rolleyes:

Nope you need new ones. Both lines are slightly larger threads, you can keep the lines but you need larger connectors going into the turbo, also the oil dump line will not fit as well.

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
