i know im bringing up the dead, but its better than making a new one.

is there any changes i should work with?

since im having ER34 N/A and i'm dropping off RB25DET NEO. what about the flywheel? pull push clutch, gearbox? turbo lines?

any more detail information could save my $$$ eventually.

cheers.

the whole undercar setup between N/A's and turbo's are difference. after picking out the differences, youll look at it and realise just how different the two models are...both look the part though :P

Tell me about it! Worse it seems if you own a Sedan ~_~ Unless of course if it's a GTV

R34 GT doesn't have HICAS (4 wheel steering) Traction Control (TCS) or Limited Slip Diff (LSD)

R34 GT does have an LSD as an option - Its on the original R34 Skyline brochure from Japan - RB25DE models only :P.

i read the manuals, it says the N/A one use R200V lsd type.

but how about the tie rod, castor rod, camber rod?

i know they have different rear suspension setup, does it means i have to look for a different rear swaybar and anti-rollbar as well?

well, at least im getting a r32 gtr brakes now.

cheers.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but i thought it was better to revive one then to create another identical one. Basically im looking for a way to check if my engine is originally from a turbo or non turbo R33. eg if the person just bolted on turbo bits or if they changed the whole engine. I know my skyline was originally (factory) non turbo as the badges are blue, open diff (until i got to it...) and no hicas.

I know the compression seems to be the only difference and thus i will do a compression test once i get my compression tester back from my brother..

Can you tell anything from the engine number??

Mine is: 181875A

cheers guys.

Is there little-to-no lag? aka pretty much instant boost? Badges doesn't mean everything, but blue badges are typically on N/As.

Are the wheels and brakes R33 GTSt items? 4 stud wheels and 2 pot front and 1 pot rear calipers were the go on GTS, whereas GTSt has 5 stud wheels and 4 and 2 pot calipers.

I'm not entirely sure from the engine number, I would assume that you can get some info from it.

Is there any Queensland mod plate to evidence any engine change?

Could even be that the owner put blue badges to fool other people in the know into thinking that it's an N/A.. but then like you said open diff and no hicas... Not many people do bolt-on conversions.

Do you have pics of the engine bay and other areas to try and discern whether it's a bolt-on, engine conversion, or just a bit strange?

my Na r34 has red GT badges :) they were there when i bought it tho.

And for the R34's, isnt it like ER34 for the GT's and something like HR34 for GTT's?

You could also check the coil packs??? different coils between turbo and non turbo

p.s

in New Zealand you can search the number plate and it gives you all the information about the car and what it was imported as etc etc

Edited by R34 -_-

i think he wants to make sure that his engine hasn't been swapped, not if the car itself is orignally a turbo.

the easiest way to tell if it is a turbo motor that has had the turbo removed would be to put it on a dyno. if it makes over 100kw then it is a NA motor, LOL.

you could probably also look for blocked up oil and water lines. although i guess that you would be able to tell if it was originally a turbo motor just by driving it. if you test drove other NAs when you were buying yours then you would know straight away. a turbo converted to NA would be dramatically slower than a stock NA. if you get easily beaten by v6 commodores would be another indication, LOL

N-DAWG,

Yeh there is little or no lag coming onto boost, the wheels are the typical 5 stud r33 pattern. I know that the badges aren't everything though it was the complete absence of any sign of the hicas system which really set me off.

There are no modification plates on the chassis beyond the usual import plates. Thus im thinking that the conversion could have been completed before it was imported though Im really not sure. I'll grab some pics and post them up today.

R34- -,

I know about the coil packs, though they would be easy to switch them over.

What im looking at is seeing if the motor is a turbo or non turbo from factory. Reason for this is obviously about the compression ratio in the engine and my ability to boost it up. As it sits I can't see anything on the engine itself that points me in either direction...

Cheers guys

that will only tell you what sort of motor it was supposed to have (turbo or non turbo and what capacity). won't tell you the engine number to see if it has had a replacement engine put in that was the same type though.

Hate to tell you, but FAST won't tell you what vehicle an engine number came from: However i can certainly help out HERE

This is my data on the above.

I am releasing a website next month dedicated to RB's with a much more comprehensive list.

As for differences the heads are a different casting in R34 non turbo to turbo, have smaller ports and runners, which is to do with torque.

if your more interested, PM me and i have allot more information.

just so you know, if your website mentions RB standing for "race bred" i'm going to find the server it is located on and set it on fire.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
