wow. i just read this thread from the VERY start to the end. amazing i take my hat off to you sir.

sorry to be a pain and ask but from what i gather if you don't plan on ripping everything apart, in a way its fairly straight forward? the wiring and exhaust of cause have their issues but other people deal with those problems and you encountered some problems when you went with the trumpets? i assume these would have been removed if you left the standard intake on?

The only thing i could bring it down to was the steering and brackets for mounting?

Without making everyone read through the whole thread (as amazing as it is) can you give a basic list on whats needed?

basically, if you were going to leave the engine standard and rego.

1) Fabricate engine mounts.

2) fit steering rack that will fit still encorporating power steer or run a manual rack. Rack ends to suit.

3) Transmission Crossmember

4) Tailshaft

5) Exhaust including modified extractors.

6) R33 clutch master cylinder bored one size oversize.

7) Radiator hoses (could use standard radiator) Thermo Fan

8) Throttle cable

9) Speed sensor compatibillity?

10) Misc plumbing e.g heater, booster, intake, air, steer. etc

11) Wiring

12) Modify fuel system (no return line) Reg intank.

these are the main points i can think of off the top of my head.

all conversions are similar, this one did not require things like crossmember, sump or trans tunnel mods which was good. and its a tidy fit, easy to change plugs and remove gearbox.

Thanks heaps for that the only other question i had and i might get pulled up here is that do you think the conversion (apart from the power outsings) would be relatively the same with just a 5ltr engine instead of the 5.7 im just weighing up all options here

Thanks heaps

Supercharged 6 would give less room I reckon. the V6 is not much more compact than the 8 and the you add the supercharger (and cooler if you want etc). also depends on the type of blower you use. and what 6 would you use? cause the old holden 6 is absolute crap. and buy the time you buy the 6, trans, blower etc it would probably cost more then the LS 5.7 and make less power. waste of time.

yeh i agree, the 5.0s are a cast iron boat anchor. 165kw. and not sure why you would condider a v6 conversion when you can bolt a turbo'd RB straight in.

Yeah, agreed on the V6 thing too. I hate the holden 6's, I think they're crap and I wouldn't waste my time on one.

Not sure what they weigh, but I dare say with all the ancillaries it'd be more than the LS1, or close enough to.

the eco-tech is still cast iron so it would be at least 60kg heavier, the alloytech in the vz onwards would be lighter.

Going up to Unigroup in the morning to finish up the tune. Ill try to get more video of decent quality this time.

But what is a decent box that you can put behind the chevs. The ZF etc 6 spds are not exaclt slick things. I have found the motor i want for my car, but cant find a gearbox :down:

      Weird the Gktech one doesn't have the 3 holes and is only a 5min install if you have the standard front bar.

      Honestly, as someone on the standard PS4 controller, should be relatively easy to get gold. Remember you have more grip than you think.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Fitted some Advan AD09s to try next. Likely slower than the CR-S but should work in the wet and last longer.   Off for alignment and the new plates worked a treat! I was finally able to hit both my drift and grip alignment targets with the same setup! Grip Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15° Rear: Total toe +3mm (1.5mm in each side) Camber -1.5° —————————————- Drift as above but drop the front sway bar and change the below. Front: Toe total -10mm(5mm out each side) Ackerman +5°

      @Duncan can you put the Link in, and measure all the power input voltages with a multimeter. Specifically looking for one that is low.   Then put the other ECU in that it runs on, and measure those voltages again with a multimeter?   If all of your voltages read normal on both ECUs, but the link is still reading low internally, your issue IS the LINK. If the voltages drop low on the multimeter while the Link is plugged in, but not other ECU, then the issue COULD be wiring in the car, or it COULD be the ECU. To rule out wiring, work out how with an ECU removed, you can trigger all the necessary relays, and then measure resistance from the pin that is reading low at the ECU, to the batteries positive power.   I have a sneaking suspicion your issue is the link, it's not reading the voltage properly, possibly a dry joint, or a Cap dieing, and because voltage is low, it's likely attempting to compensate on fuelling and the engine won't run.

      Hi there, Does anyone here have the carbonetics slam panel installed on their R34 GTT? Or used to have one and got some pics of how it sat? https://carbonetics.net/products/1999-2002-nissan-skyline-r34-gtt-cooling-slam-panel?srsltid=AfmBOoo6Uz0nuxGI3qC0sn56KJI6PMgh0OvV-pbegsPDHTtTxz4IMljc I’m just trying to get an idea of how they sit once installed but these guys have no pics.  biggest question I’m trying to figure out is what the hell the 3 holes at the front of the panel are 😂 and where they bolt    Thanks in advance
