I think you'd be dumb to change engine from non turbs to turbo. I'm pretty sure there is more than a brake upgrade as well, things like suspension would have different spring rates and the dampers would be different as well. As a turbo engine would weigh more than an NA.

Like people have said 34 GT-t has a stronger box than standard GT, diff is different, tailshaft as well, etc, etc.

What happened to the supercharging idea?

when importing.. do i get to choose out of a couple of cars which one i want?

do inporters shop for what i want?

like specific body kit, auction grade etc?

people like chef, if you give him a ruff idea on what you want and how much your wanting to spend he would look out for something and give you lists on what he has found till you are happy.

i personally know 4 people who have bought off him and they were all happy with the outcome.

same goes with jspec. they were giving me email updates on things that they had found that were similar to what i was asking for.

I don't know the in and outs of it all but regardless it's a waste of time anyhow!!!

ah not really a waste of time

(1) think you'll find there pretty much the same its cheaper to only do the R&D once

(2) how much does a turbo and inter cooler really weigh :( so your not adding much extra weight there

(3) gearbox is only 2 sorts RB20 and RB25 so i think you'll find there the same

(4) yeah pretty much same

realistically you don't save any money making all these parts for non turbo cars

Yes Dre you get to pick and choose everything once you get Kristian looking for a car you become his boss he is your employee, but don't be and asshat about it because he may say your too fussy and suggest another importer for you to try :(

wasnt delivered through aus post. was delivered through fastway couriers, according to the calling card i have to wait til monday. no biggie.

Edited by scandyflick

So that means my car was a waste of time aswell? me and a lot of other people think that engine conversions aren't a waste of time.

AWD, RB26DETT in a car that looks like a GTST, FTMFW! :)

What the f**k is so good about the brand Ed Hardy. ? Looks like childrens clothing.

yeah, i havent figured that out either. i dont get what the big deal is in paying $100 for a shirt that looks like 5 babies threw up on it.

guess im just not hip enough for that shit.

whos ed harry?

what about a 33 4door with a rb26dett thats still badged as a non turbo :)

im really liking this car but it runs rich as all hell atm :(

lucky your pockets aint empty cuz :)

riches get b*tches

n chad we all know rb26s in old school dato's are the way for ultimate sleepers :D

bogans cant tell the diff's in skyline models, wouldnt know what gtr is. but everyone thinks a dato would never go fast :(

dude, go tell that to every other person out there that does engine swaps in cars.

thanks steve, ive found when getting stuff for the 34 that most of it is GTT anyway. and i have done most of the stuff anyway that i would need to do (like ecu and brakes) there shouldnt be too much stuff i would need to get i dont think.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
